Appletree Cottage at Cotmore Farm is a gorgeous oak-and-slate stable barn conversion in a quiet courtyard on a small farm just minutes from the sea: it will pamper you with its luxurious airy interiors and at the same time soothe your soul in the absolute peace and tranquility of rural South Devon, where miles of twisting footpaths and quiet sunken lanes lead to the many sandy coves and safe, award-winning beaches for which this part of England is justly famous. Appletree Cottage is our third and last farm building conversion at Cotmore Farm. It was once a stable barn, its origins betrayed by the spectacular beams that protrude from the ceiling and in the thickness of the stone and rubble walls shown in the depth of the upstairs window reveals. Into this wonderful geometric space we have introduced a very modern interior with every energy-saving comfort, from double insulated walls and ceilings to LED lighting and underfloor heating. Slate and oak are materials found in abundance in this part of Devon and we have used them liberally: all doors, furniture, and the upstairs floor are made of oak, while slate floors feature in all downstairs areas. Accessed from the ground floor, the master bedroom has a 6ft bed as its centrepiece, with ample space for a travel cot if required; next door is a luxuriously appointed limestone bathroom with curved bath and power shower. Painted wooden shutters in both rooms give precise control of light and, on hotter days, allow a cooling breeze to circulate while maintaining absolute privacy. Across the corridor, the spacious second bedroom can be configured with a super-kingsize bed or, for families with children, two or three single beds. Here, another ensuite bathroom boasts a huge walk-in enclosure with Grohe power-shower. All downstairs areas benefit from touch-sensitive underfloor heating, individually controllable in each room. Sleeping is not permitted outside of designated bedroom areas. The upstairs floor is reached via a glass balustraded staircase: here the architecture of the vaulted roof and exposed trusses of ancient pitch pine combine to create an airy sense of light and space. Windows to the south and east look over gently rolling hills towards the sea at Beesands, while to the north, a wall of glass invites the outdoors in. A compact but fully equipped kitchen and comfortable dining area mean you can cook with confidence if you don't fancy going out; while comfy leather sofas, a widescreen satellite TV, and a hi-tech woodburner provide a congenial atmosphere for an evening in, whatever the weather. Through the double French doors, and backed by a steep bank of wildflowers and roses, lies a totally secluded, glass-balustraded private sitting-out area, a suntrap from breakfast till sundown, with outdoor dining facilities and barbecue. Paved steps lead down to the front door, and a grassy path winds up past the dovecot to a sheltered orchard field with a trampoline, perfect for a game of football, badminton or croquet.
A fantastic stay in Appletree cottage! It is really idyllic set within a working farm & was beautifully peaceful. The accommodation met our needs as a family of 5; was spotlessly clean & well appointed with everything we needed. We felt we had a great sense of privacy but knew our hosts were available should we have needed them. Do bring your wellies! You’re able to access the livestock (sheep, ponies & poultry)! My daughter (age 7) particularly enjoyed collecting eggs from the henhouse each morning & we were absolutely delighted to see spring lambs at only a few hours old that had been birthed this morning! What a lovely experience. Piers messaged me in the morning to let us know they had been born which I thought was really kind of him. He also supported my daughter to feed the ewes - what a treat! Piers and Sue were fantastic hosts - Piers sent directions and house rules prior to arrival which we felt was helpful & we were appreciative of some welcome goodies too Thank you!
A lovely stay, great accommodation, Piers was extremely helpful and on hand to deal with our requests and questions Great welcome and welcome pack
Had a lovely stay at Appletree Cottage! Piers was a great host, easy check in and helped us with anything we needed. Area is gorgeous and very peaceful. Would definitely stay here again!!
Wow. Piers made us feel at home right away. Greeting us on arrival and having lit the woodburner for us ready for arrival. 😃 The place was spotlessly clean and unlike many places we have stayed, this was spacious. A family of 4 could spend a week here easily without getting under each others feet. Piers was a great host inviting us to explore the farm, giving great tips on where to visit and being super responsive to our requests. Highly recommended.
Cotmore Farm nestles among oak and chestnut trees within sight of the sea, on the south-facing slope of the valley that runs west-east from Salcombe to Start Bay. The vibrant waterside communities of Salcombe, Kingsbridge, and Dartmouth are all within easy reach.
自我介绍
Cotmore is a 17th century house surrounded by 13 acres of land that was already a farm more than a thousand years ago. It is a welcoming place that is home to Piers and Sue, their three children (when not at university / travelling / elsewhere), some cats, and a small, friendly, bouncy dog called Jack. We moved here from south-east England in 2011, with the aim of establishing an environment where others could enjoy the kind of holiday we remember from our own childhoods in Ireland and Cornwall, and began the painstaking process of converting three derelict stone barns and outbuildings into stylish, comfortable self-catering accommodation at the heart of the farm. We keep horses, Large Black pigs, Shetland sheep, and free-range chickens and ducks, from which we have a plentiful supply of eggs, sausages, bacon, and hams. And living just a mile from the spectacular south Devon coast, we take full advantage of our fabulous seaside location to walk, swim, surf, bike, and kayak.
