Cottage holiday rentals in Ashburton

Wow we loved this place so so much! Firstly it was within the most peaceful setting you could imagine. Sitting out in the garden was so serene, and the wood fired hot tub was a fun bonus! Inside was immaculate, so cosy and homely! Absolutely everything you might think you need was supplied! The upstairs bedroom/bathroom was dreamy! Surrounded by lovely walks (the coastal footpath was only 5 minutes walk away) and close by to some gorgeous Devonshire villages/towns, I genuinely couldn’t fault this property! Hopefully we will be back soon! ☺️

Linsey was very approachable, always answered any questions. My grandad fell ill the day we were meant to come and she was very understanding as why we couldn’t make it

Lovely cottage, had everything we needed for a great week. Well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. All the crockery, utensils and pans you need for cooking. Hot tub was certainly a favourite and well used! Nice to have plastic ‘glasses’ for use outside. Great selection of games was a nice surprise. Being able to walk the dog right from the doorstep made it so easy - we really enjoyed exploring the smallholding. Hosts were very quick to respond with answers and support. Yes, the Tesco delivery man did manage to find us and unload :-)

Very lovely place, me and my girlfriend stayed here for a weekend and had no complaints. The host responded quickly and the property looked exactly like the photos. All the extra little touches like the fire wood, slippers, eggs and etc really made us feel welcome. Overall we really enjoyed our stayed and would happily stay here again.

The surroundings were lovely and a large enclosed garden was great for the dog and our 3 children. we had many a happy night in the hot tub. Lots of things for the kids to play with. We drove to all the local beaches would say most things are within an hour's drive and would recommend watermouth castle as a day out if you have kids!

We had a beautiful week at The Cart Barn, beautiful location with beautiful views and a private garden which was perfect for our pooch! we spent most of our evenings watching the beautiful cows out the garden! the hot tub was a lovely addition and the barn had everything we needed to make ourselves and our dog feel at home! Some great recommendations in the welcome book and from the owners of local things to do! Will definitely be returning in the future! :)

Wow! What an incredible stay. We are so happy with our stay. Everything in the property you’d need to have a relaxing home-like stay. The host recommended visiting Covelly which we loved. The hot tub was a great touch as well. Thank you x

Lower Marsh Farm is brilliant. Wonderful location, excellent facilities, peaceful and calm. Due to the rural location, you do need a car to get there and navigate the area. Olivia the host is incredibly attentive, the instructions for getting there are clear, the optional services are excellent, and the setting is idyllic. We visited with two young children who were captivated by the wildlife and farm animals. Enjoy!

Thyme cottage was such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. The cottage is characterful and comfortable and well equipped. The fireplace was a wonderful, warm touch. The village of Woodbury Salterton is charming and friendly and close to Exeter. The Diggers Rest is a must! Stop in for a friendly pint or even better for a meal. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. Thyme cottage will be among our top stays.

We had a wonderful time at this peaceful countryside cottage. The setting was tranquil and relaxing—perfect for a quiet getaway. Katie was a fantastic host—very welcoming and thoughtful. She even popped in to check that everything was okay and assured us we could reach out if we needed anything. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind in a calm and cozy environment!

BlackBerry cottage is a must stay. From the day we booked Andrea was super responsive and made us feel welcome before we even arrived. Check in was easy and Andrea met us at the property. Not only was the location idyllic but the accommodation was clean, comfortable and had a wow factor. We loved cooking in the kitchen which has everything you need for whatever you decide to cook. Both bedrooms were super comfortable and the bathroom done to a high standard. Felt like a boutique hotel. Our dog also joined us and he was very happy with the stone floors throughout the ground floor, dog bowls and enclosed garden and patio. We really enjoyed reading and drinking a coffee with the patio doors open taking in the Devon landscapes. Highly recommend and we would definitely stay again. Thank you again Andrea.

Ben's cottage was stunning — we loved every moment of our stay. If it were possible to give 6 out of 5 stars, I would have. The surrounding area was breathtaking, we enjoyed wandering through the fields and visited the vineyard, where we sampled some fantastic wine. There were also some excellent local pubs close by, all serving delicious food. Everything felt convenient, peaceful, and just perfect — there wasn’t a single thing we could fault. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.

Thank you Luke & Beccy for a great few days. We needed to relax but still have amenities around us. You were right, we didn’t need to move the car once it was parked. I know we could have travelled & explored but it was more about relaxing in a home from home.

We loved our stay in this beautiful cottage. Gill made the whole experience extremely easy and peaceful. The house was well equipped. It was lovely to receive a welcome pack. Wish we could stay longer. We highly recommend it.

Marc and Amy were fantastic hosts! They provided everything promised. The cottage was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Their attention to detail and thoughtfulness toward their guests is apparent. Marc gave us a thorough tour and history of the property which was fascinating - especially coming from the states where buildings aren’t nearly that old! Our only honest regret is that we didn’t book a few more days so we could spend more time on the property to explore and appreciate the hard work they’ve put into its upkeep and restoration.

Lovely little cottage, Andrew was the perfect host. Would definitely recommend. Good distance from local pub & pub restaurant. Not far from the beach with quite a steep walk down from the main road. Beach is dog friendly & nice walk along the beach/prom into Teignmouth. Parking space is small but very manageable. Lovely Scones with Clotted Cream & Jam (hope I put them on the scone the right way round!!)

Had a lovely few days in the hutch. Chloe is a fantastic host, came to welcome and to say goodbye, also kept in contact throughout my stay to check I was ok. The hutch is lovely and immaculate, with everything provided. Lovely quiet spot with great views but really close to amenities and transport links. I would definitely recommend and would stay again!

Stoops cottage is stunning and the grounds were beautiful. The house was spotlessly clean and the sofa and beds were really comfortable. Everything is of a high standard and quality, and there was everything there that we needed. Julie came out to welcome us and was so friendly. We called on her for medical advice whilst we were there and she was really helpful, looking up information and also checking in later. We were concerned about the narrow roads that others had mentioned but there are plenty of passing bays so it wasn’t a problem and I would definitely stay there again. Absolutely loved it !!

Easy to access cottage - very close to A38 but no noise of traffic. Lovely and warm conservatory at the front of the house. Well equipped kitchen.

I really enjoyed staying at Lisa's place. I was here for a longer stay and I felt right at home. Lisa and Adam were great hosts, always on hand if needed, but also left me to myself. I loved being in the countryside, with a local shop just 5min drive away. Wifi speed was good, which made working from home easy. I can't wait to come back and stay again.

We had a fantastic week at Lownard Stables. The cottage is next to a beautiful garden belonging to the owner’s house, which added a peaceful and green backdrop to our stay. The location is great—just a short walk/drive to Dartington and Totnes, making it easy to explore the area and enjoy local favorites like The Bull Inn and Riverford Organic Farm Kitchen. Luna’s Bakery is within walking distance and absolutely worth a visit—their break is delicious! The host recommended some lovely walks in Dartmoor National Park, and the coast is also not far, offering even more to explore. The cottage was spotless, well-equipped, and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed having breakfast and dinner outside in the sunshine. Highly recommended!

My wife and I had a lovely 8 nights in Simon and Charlie's place. Very comfortable, well equipped kitchen, very good TV in both kitchen and living room. The bedroom is spacious and very comfortable. Delightful private garden with fishpond and lovely flora. The place is very well situated with a lovely walk down to Anstey's Cove and a very short walk to Kents' Caves. Be aware that the EV charger mentioned in the amenities is just an outside 13 amp plug so if you want to do a full fast charge you need to look elsewhere, but it's OK to top up. Overall, an excellent place to base yourself for the whole area.

The cottage is lovely - simple, tranquil, light and airy, perfectly equipped and very convenient for great walking on Dartmoor, Hembury woods, and shopping/ exploring Ashburton, Buckfast Abbey and Totnes, with the sea not far too. Judy, her family and all the dogs and cats are so welcoming, kind and charming, and the woods, land and the beautiful wild garden make this a very special and magical place. Many thanks.

A fantastic place to stay. The cottage is perfect and the surrounding area is beautiful. Highly recommend staying here. Michelle and Com were amazing hosts and made sure we were very well looked after. Thank you very much to you both.
