Excellent place to stay

We had a wonderful time at Appletree cottage. It had everything we needed and couldn’t fault it as a getaway location. Hosts very welcoming and surrounding area beautiful and peaceful. Great proximity to coast, restaurants and places to visit. Would highly recommend. Don’t hesitate to book.

Lovely cottage

We had a fantastic time at this lovely rural cottage. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Although rural, it was well placed for visiting local attractions including Slapton Sands, Beesands, Dartmouth and the beautiful Salcombe. Would love to stay here again.

The cottage was beautifully presented and very clean. Piers and Sue were very friendly and were on hand if we needed anything. If we had to find fault it was only that you couldn’t park outside of the cottage and the steps up to the car park were very steep for my mum to navigate and she felt unsteady as the handrail was not secure enough for someone who relies on a handrail

Appletree Cottage

We had a lovely stay at Appletree Cottage, the property was lovely and clean and catered for all our needs, it is perfectly located to explore the local area, either by foot or by car, although the Devon lanes can a bit nail biting! Piers, the host, was really welcoming and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We hope we can visit again sometime soon.

Excellent stay on a lovely working farm

One of the best Devon holiday stays we have had. The working farm is fantastic for kids , the owners actively encourage the kids to interact with the farm animals. Appletree cottage is wonderful , all amenities needed for your holiday . The location is superb , the local walls are a must , especially if you have a dog. The owners are welcoming , ensuring all your needs are met , with the extra delight of being able to purchase local meats for you stay. This is a real gem we are so pleased to find, and will be returning.

Wonderful week in Devon

Beautifully property, converted to a high standard. Despite a blustery week (Storm Ciarán), we enjoyed great walking along the coast, pub lunches and quiet relaxation in the house. Piers recommended we visit NT Coleton Fishacre on the drive back to Bristol which we thoroughly enjoyed, especially the house. Would definitely return to Apple Tree Cottage.

A lovely short break in peaceful countryside setting.

We had great short break in Piers and Sue’s lovely accomodation. The setting was perfect. Close to lots of nice days out for my mum and some great dog walks for me and my four legged friend. Place was cosy with a wood burner for those chillier nights. Very nicely done and beds extremely comfortable. Would recommend. Thanks Piers and Sue

What to say? Amazing all round

Location, property and Piers is the piece de resistance! The farm is nestled in the ideal location to visit a vast array of beaches, breathing taking towns and harbours. There's lots of dog friendly places to visit and things for kids and adults alike. Piers is a fountain of knowledge and gives the best advice of where to go and what to eat. The little extras on arrival just finish it off perfectly. Organic jam, butter, chocolate. The log burner was fantastic. We will come back for sure

A lovely stay

What a lovely, cosy and beautifully presented property. It was very clean, cosy and practical and we appreciated the thoughtful welcome items left in the kitchen and they key essentials throughout the house. The bed was very comfortable and the bedrooms were lovelier that the photos suggest. Piers and Sue were very welcoming and gave us some great tips on where to go and what to do whilst we were there. It was great having a bbq to use and the wood burner too, plus some great dvds to watch. We couldn't have had a better break. Thank you Piers and Sue.

A fab rural retreat, for great coastal walks

Piers and Sue made us extremely welcome, and we were lucky with the weather which enabled us to walk a lot of local coastal walks. Appletree Cottage was well equipped, and the beds were very comfortable, ideal after strenuous walks and a little libation! We self catered for 4 days, including use of the charcoal BBQ on site, ideal. The eggs and streaky bacon provided by Piers from his idyllic 'farm' were so full of flavour. We had a wonderful quiet break, in a brilliant location - thank you.

Rural country cottage

Cottage clean and well equipped- beds extremely comfortable. Location was a little more isolated than I realised (my fault). Roads very narrow but most drivers very courteous. Lovely visit to Greenways (Agatha Christie’s house)

Quiet location, very comfy and central for walking the SW coast path

Beautifully renovated property in a lovely quiet location. Very comfy and well equipped. We chose it as the 2 bedrooms are both ensuite. And we liked the location for walking the SW Coast path between East Portlemouth and Torcross.

Quality accommodation in a lovely setting !

From the warm welcome on arrival to the willingness to share their animals with us and the warm and comfortable cottage. We couldn't have asked for more. The beds were very comfortable and the cottage really well equipped. Our daughter loved helping with the horses and chatting to the chickens. The quality produce was great value and tasted amazing. Thank you for an amazing stay - we have made many memories to treasure. We will definitely be back.

Luxury Devon Hideaway.

A modern spacious open plant living space with high quality kitchen and bathrooms, all hidden behind the walls of a traditional farm building in the depths of rural south Devon. Large private patio with sun all day. Part of the charm is the secluded location, be prepared for narrow Devon lanes, all is fine once you relax in the slower way of getting around. You are only 10min drive to some super beaches and only 20mins from beautiful Dartmouth if you feel the need to expllore.

Beautiful cottage set in a beautiful location!

We had the most wonderful stay at Cotmore Farm. The cottage had everything we needed and Piers and Sue were wonderful hosts! Our children really enjoyed seeing the pigs, horses and sheep. On arrival it was so lovely that there was milk, marmalade and a few other things left in the cottage, that was such a nice touch! The cottage is also beautifully converted and furnished inside. The location is perfect with lots of beautiful countryside to explore nearby. We will definitely be returning!
