Cottage holiday rentals in East Devon District

Are second stay at the cottage, just as good as the first time, we will be back. Ade Tracey & molly

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.

Emma and her family were lovely and welcoming. She was available whenever we needed something and was very approachable. Her home is nice, private and spacious, the kitchen although we knew it was small was a little hard to work in especially with little ones. The rooms all had en-suites which was extremely useful when younger ones needed to use the toilet at the same time. Downside was only one shower/ bath could be used at a time due to water pressure. She told us this upon arrival and we just worked around it. The garden is beautiful, children really enjoyed they’re time as plenty of space to run around. Loved the white bedding and soft furnishings as it always helps make a place feel clean and fresh.

Amazing stay here with my husband. The cottage was perfect for a relaxing and quiet weekend. The breakfast basket was a lovely touch and everything was as described in the listing. Joy is a brilliant host checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly! Would definitely stay again!!

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! :)

What an amazing stay! It was everything we were hoping for and more. The cottage had everything we needed and also some nice personal touches too. It was so relaxing sitting in the hot tub, listening and watching the birds . The weather was a little unsettled for us but not a problem, as we could sit in the summer house, and look out at the lovely view and our neighbours the sheep! Claire was very responsive with messaging and will look forward to visiting again soon. 🙂

Our family of five, which includes three adult children, thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Nest. It is as pictured and described and spotlessly clean. We stayed for 3 nights, which included a wedding at a nearby venue, spending time in all the different areas of the cottage, and going for a lovely circular walk from the door. Many thanks Sarah

Ok, if you are looking at this cottage and wondering whether to book it....just do it, stop wondering. You can thank me later. The quiet hits you first, only birdsong and the sound of the breeze through the trees. A genuinely beautiful, tranquil cottage, simply but lovingly presented with all the things you need. A kitchen with stove/oven, fridge, toaster, kettle and Nespresso coffee maker. A spotless shower room, and a separate lavatory complete with wash basin. The lovely large bed, comfortable chairs, table and bookcase all highlight the time and effort the hosts have spent creating something special. Hot tub ? Yes, very private and very relaxing too. The hosts had fired up the wood burner so that when we arrived the water was nice and toasty, perfect to enjoy the sweeping view to the valley below. (Bring flip flops or crocs as the path to the hot tub has an area of gravel). In short, we have absolutely loved time here. Many thanks Rhys & Lizzie for making it possible.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage over Christmas. Glenda gave great directions and check in instructions, with dinning recommendations. She was very helpful throught the stay. The cottage was perfect, it was exactly as the photos, stylish, welcoming and luxurious. We didn't want to leave. Glenda had also gone the extra mile with lots of fabulous touches. We felt so welcome and the were overwhelmed with the gorgeous Christmas decorations, a lovely surprise. It was also well appointed, so many thoughtful details. We loved the butter dishes, lamps and artwork. Everything was very considered, clean and comfortable, which made for a relaxing stay. Great location and brilliant pizzas at the pub, just a walk away. There was a little park for the boys and the local shop in the neighbouring village was well stocked. We loved it and would love to stay again. Fantastic break, thank you so much. The perfect cottage escape.

June in Beer is delightful. Quaint main street leading to a pebble beach (dogs to the left OK ). Can buy fresh fish/crabs on the slipway. Cute beach huts. Carol's place is on a steep hill, close to the beach, right by the old church. Its a lovely terrace cottage with everything we needed for a great weekend stay during fossil weekend in Lyme Regis about 10 miles away. Brandscome beach is over the valley and is family/dog friendly, with a super cafe, easy cheaper parking and less crowded pebble beach. Highly recommend this part of the UK and carol's place.

We had a lovely stay, the apartment is very comfortable and cosy. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed sitting in the garden with it's views over the Exe estuary. There are lots of nice walks in the area which was great for our two dogs. We would definitley book this Airbnb again if we want to stay in the area.

Harriet's place was amazing. Harriet was very responsive and proactive with helping us with our late check in. The house looks really nice in photos, but it's even better than in real life. We have only one regret, that we couldn't stay longer!

Stunning location, very friendly, helpful and accommodating hosts. Plenty for the children to see and do, with plenty of space and a large garden including some outdoor games to play. Our girls loved staying here and we can’t wait to visit again.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location, very close to Axminster and the coast. The cottage is beautifully furnished and very comfortable with great showers!! Some lovely restaurants and eating places nearby and close to River Cottage, where we were booked for Sunday lunch. Clive and Ruth were very friendly and helpful, I would thoroughly recommend it.

We had such a lovely time at Balls Farm Cottage. The pictures do not do it justice. There are lots of touches that make you feel that Gemma and her family care about the people who stay. The rooms are great with two good double bedrooms. The single bed room has a double aspect and with the weather being warm being able to open the windows for a lovely breeze was welcome. The kitchen is well stocked with crockery and glasses the dishwasher was very welcome. The egg chair in the garden was well used by the family during the stay as were the sun loungers. The two modernised bathrooms were a hit. Both the bath and the shower were used by the family and were well received. The cottage is very peaceful, with sounds of the surrounding farm animals a delight. A pheasant came to visit and could be heard calling in the morning. The garden is very pretty and adds to the cottage feel. Thank you Gemma and family for our lovely stay we would love to come again soon

Beautiful cottage, very peaceful and private. Loved how perfectly wonky everything is. Great location to get to nearby beaches. Helen was very proactive and kept in touch throughout. If we visit this way again I wouldnt hesitate to book another stay.

A wonderfully peaceful place to stay. You can walk out down the lanes and also find fingerpost routes to explore. There are brooks and streams and fords to cross. Suzanne's cottage is spacious and very well appointed. I had every pan and utensil to prepare a meal. The shower was excellent and easy to use. The beds were so comfortable. We thoroughly explored Sidmouth and had an excellent meal in the Anchor pub. We ate from the blackboard specials fresh fish options. In Seaton we opted for Pisano and the staff were exceptional. You will need to book for the popular restaurants in the evening. Budleigh Salterton in a lovely place to wander round and we ate in Wesley's café , which was a lovely friendly place. We would love to stay again.

Loved our stay at Spinning Wheel Cottage. What a find!! Beautiful place, lovely garden and the cottage was bigger than we expected. From the moment we walked in we were overwhelmed with how fantastic it was.

Simply wow, this has to be the best Airbnb around! At the end of a country lane is heaven in Devon. Ruth's place is a large studio, perfect for a couple to escape from the city into the peace of the countryside. It's very well appointed for self catering, either in the kitchen or the barbecue area. Everything has been thought about and taken care of. From welcome touches like the pint of milk in the fridge, through to the custom official Ordnance Survey map shows a level of thought, care and perfection I've never seen before. Staying here felt like staying at your own luxury home where you have everything you need, but without any trace of the feeling of clutter some other places can have when they're full of your host's possessions. The hosts afford you total privacy, there if you need anything or want to chat, but leave your to your stay. We ate breakfast on the balcony overlooking the beautiful garden, and had a couple of barbecues down on the patio late into the evening.

Beautiful, peaceful place to stay which is ideal for those who love nature. We came as two families of four with young children. The setting is stunning, the bluebells were out in all their glory in the magical woodlands where there was a sweet little natural play area suitable for little ones. There's plenty of wildlife and farm animals such as cows and horses. At night you can see the stars and listen to the birds and other animals which is so relaxing. Rooms and beds were comfortable. We visited the nearby donkey sanctuary and sidmouth beach which were both great. Lovehayne Farm is a great base with a huge living room and spacious dining area. There's also a courtyard garden with a BBQ. Very responsive and helpful hosts.

We love this place! Just what we needed who are all from London. We love the tranquillity of the place. The cottage is perfect for families! We love the fact that it has a big kitchen and a nice and cosy living room! Kids enjoyed the garden and the hot tub! It's not a bad drive to Sidmouth - which was recommended by the host to visit!

Our stay at Godminster cottage was wonderful and I cannot fault the hosting by Belu. From the moment we booked he was friendly and easily contactable no was very accommodating to our various requests. The cottage itself is beautiful with a lovely walled garden and outside seating area. We will definitely be back to visit again!

We booked a last minute mini break to Bluebell grey, enjoying visits to the beach during the day followed by relaxed evenings back at the cottage playing badminton and boules in the garden. As the evening light faded we settled down inside the cosy cottage with a gin and tonic or two playing cards around the table, feeling relaxed and comfortable. Thank you Michael for being so responsive with our last minute booking and for being so accommodating with an earlier check in time and equally relaxed with a later departure time. I will hold that lovely evening view across the fields in my memory. Thank you

We were a party of three staying in the stable cottage, we were all very impressed with the attention to detail that had gone into this outstanding very well appointed property. I think it is fair to say it lacked for nothing in our view. Would certainly put this place on a list of properties that we would consider coming to again. Michaela and her husband introduced themselves to us shortly after our arrival which made us feel very welcome.
