Description from owner
Description
Appletree Cottage is our third and last farm building conversion at Cotmore Farm. It has the same stylish layout as the TripAdvisor award-winning Barn at Cotmore Farm, and the same level of finish: two large slate-floored bedrooms on the ground floor at courtyard level, one with a super-kingsize bed, the other either a twin or a super-kingsize, depending on configuration, and each with its own luxurious bathroom; bright and airy open-plan upstairs, with oak floors, vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, roof lights, fully equipped kitchen, comfy leather sofas, WiFi, woodburner; and direct access through double French doors to a private sun-trap garden terrace carved out of a green Devon bank, surrounded by steep banks filled with wildflowers, and a winding path leading up to the enclosed apple orchard. And of course you have all the amenities of the farm at hand: horses, piglets, chickens, ducks, sheep – endless entertainment for animal-loving children (and adults!).
Located at the very end of the farm courtyard, Appletree Cottage is accessed through a sturdy oak door which gives to an entrance hall dominated by a large bookshelf brimming with modern fiction, colour reference books and and an exquisite range of children's picture books that will provide endless evening or rainy-day diversion. To the left, another ledged oak door opens to a limestone bathroom, with P-shaped bath, Grohe power shower, wall-hung basin, curved towelrad with eco-switch, and discreetly located toilet. This family bathroom doubles, via an ingenious Jack-and-Jill arrangement, as ensuite to the master bedroom, the next room along, where a 6ft super kingsize oak bed takes centre stage, flanked by bedside tables with LED stay-cool reading lamps. Painted wooden shutters in the master bedroom and bathroom allow precise control of light ingress, and on hotter days allow a cooling breeze to circulate while maintaining absolute privacy. Across the corridor, a spacious second bedroom can be configured with two or three single beds or one super-kingsize bed, with easily enough room to add a travel cot. Another ensuite bathroom boasts a huge walk-in enclosure with Grohe power-shower, wall-hung basin, sensor-switched vanity mirror, curved towelrad with eco-switch, and discreetly located toilet. All downstairs areas benefit from touch-sensitive underfloor heating, individually controllable in each room.
A glass balustraded staircase winds up to the first floor, a stunning open-plan room where the architecture of the vaulted roof and exposed trusses of ancient pitch pine combine to create a sense of airy space and light. Views to the south and east look over gently rolling hills towards the sea at Beesands, while to the north, a wall of glass positively invites the countryside in. To the left, a compact but fully equipped kitchen and comfortable dining area mean you can cook with confidence if you don't fancy going out; to the right, two comfy leather sofas, a widescreen satellite TV, and a fully room-sealed Burley woodburner guarantee snug evenings in, whatever the weather. Double French doors give onto a totally secluded, glass-balustraded private terrace which is a real suntrap from breakfast till sundown, with outdoor dining facilities and barbecue. Behind the terrace is a steep Devon bank full of wildflowers, roses and cotoneasters, with a small herb bed for guests' use. Paved steps lead down to the front door, while a grassy path winds up past the dovecot to a sheltered cider apple orchard with a trampoline and a grassy area perfect for a game of football, badminton or croquet. Horses, cats, chickens, Shetland sheep, and rare breed piglets provide feeding opportunities for animal-loving children (and adults!), while birdwatchers will delight in the abundance of visitors to our many tables and feeders – a visiting ornithologist recently identified over 50 species in and around the farm. And since we're barely a mile from the South West Coast Path, walkers (and their dogs) will not want for new routes to explore.
Appletree Cottage is one of three imaginatively converted farm buildings at Cotmore Farm. The others are Rose Cottage, a former piggery offering luxurious single-storey accommodation for two, and The Barn at Cotmore Farm, which accommodates up to 5 guests in two bedrooms, with a fabulous open-plan living space above, opening onto a private suntrap garden surrounded by green Devon banks. Both cottages have won the coveted TripAdvisor Award of Excellence.

“Spring at the farm”

“Great stay!! Exactly what we hoped for!!”
From the welcome to final day we were very well looked after throughout in what was a lovely cottage. The facilities in the cottage were wonderful and made for a relaxing, ‘home from home’ atmosphere. The log fire was lovely and despite the poor weather we found lots to do. We followed up on previous guests’ recommendations for dinner and activities with our 6-year- old which turned out well. It would be a shame not to visit either Cricket Inn and/or Britannia at Beesands if you do visit Cotmore as the local fish available from both is phenomenal!! Thanks for a great break, look forward to visiting again soon

“Peaceful & tranquil cottage”
Thanks to Sue and Piers for a lovely cottage , away from the hustle and bustle of modern life but not too far from civilisation . All the amenities for you to use and the welcome gift was very tasty and enjoyed by all. Appletree Cottage is lovely and spacious with a great private patio to relax and unwind , nice big bedrooms with 2 bathrooms , a great open plan diner/kitchen lounge . Piers directions to the cottage are most helpful as Satnav is no good in finding it , once you have your bearings then no problem. There are plenty of local villages around with great pubs , bigger towns are not far away if you need them. Highly recommended.

“Second Time Round and Just As Good as The First”
Once again Appletree Cottage and of course Piers and Sue hit the mark. To say that Appletree is a cottage on a South Hams farm would not do it justice. It is truly a sanctuary of light and calm with f… More

“High quality accomodation in beuatiful country setting, very close to several great beaches”
Appletree is clean, high quality barn conversion with lots of light surrounded by trees with glimpses of the nearby sea. it was such a refreshing, peaceful setting with a small private terrace where we ate every night and lots of additional space for our 8 and 11 year olds to run around in. The adults loved Hallsands and Beesands (very good pub and fish and chip takeaway on the beach just a few miles away) shingle beaches which are super quiet even in August - great for peace, swimming and fantastic views along the coast. We love the area for the choice of different types of beach, all so close together. The coastal walks here are some of the best we have done in the UK and the views from nearby Start point lighthouse had me mesmerised. We also spent lots of time at the sandy beaches of Bantham and Thurlestone which are less than half an hour drive and Mill Bay at less than 20 minutes away, an estuary beach with masses of sand and calm, sheltered waters. Loads to do in the area on top of this such as boat rides from Dartmouth, surfing, Crealy theme park in Exeter, steam trains. Sue and Piers were perfect hosts - welcoming and helpful but left us to it. Would definitely love to return.
