Beautiful little cottage

Gorgeous, well equipped converted barn with everything needed for a comfy stay. Piers and Sue are excellent hosts, lovely and friendly but not intrusive. Lots to see and do in the area, lovely nearby walks and good independent shops a little further afield.

We plan to come back - again!

The cottage is well kept and is in a beautiful setting, very peaceful countryside and a healthy 20 minute walk to the beach. The facilities at the cottage are excellent and the surrounding farmland is very picturesque with plenty of nature to watch. The welcome pack is full of local goods and has everything you need, Thanks Piers, we hope to come back again soon.

Lovely week away in a brilliant cottage

My husband and I stayed at Rose Cottage for a week on our Honeymoon and had an absolutely fantastic time. The cottage was clean and very comfortable with all the amenities we needed. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and we thoroughly enjoyed sampling the local Devon foods. Although the weather wasn't at it's best the log fire in the cottage more than made up for it! The cottage is within an easy drive of many places to see and things to do. We would both thoroughly recommend staying at Rose Cottage to enjoy this beautiful part of England.

We can strongly recommend Cotmore Farm!

We stayed in Rose Cottage at Cotmore Farm with our one-year-old son during a short tour of the UK and had a fantastic time. The cottage has been renovated from scratch and furnished to the highest of standards. It is located in beautiful countryside surroundings and has a lovely private garden. Owners Sue and Piers gave us a warm welcome, not to mention a very thoughtful welcome pack on the day of our arrival. Both are very kind; they prepared the cottage with toys and a completely new cot for our son. We were able to feed and pet the horses, visit the piglets, and collect fresh eggs every day for breakfast. Everything was perfect, and we are sure to come back again when our son is older and can remember this wonderful place by himself. We can strongly recommend Cotmore Farm!

Thanks for being our very first guests in our new cottage. We're glad you enjoyed the peace and tranquility of Cotmore Farm.

A lovely break in rose cottage Cotmore farm

We had a lovely week away at the beautiful Cotmore farm. Piers and sue and their lovely family set the scene with their lovely cottage where we stayed and were always on hand with ideas of places to visit in the surrounding areas. Loved the chickens and the black pigs along with Jack the family dog. Would thoroughly recommend and hope to go back

Great location and lovely property. Tranquil and well equipped.

We had a marvellous stay at Rose Cottage. It is set in a beautiful location and is hard to beat in its ease of access for the local beauty spots. We made friends with the animals on the farm and had fun feeding the piggies. The property itself is well equipped and has a pretty garden area where you can enjoy a glass or two in the evening. Piers and Sue are excellent hosts - friendly, helpful and discreet. The welcome pack, including delicious eggs from their own hens, was very much appreciated and we thoroughly enjoyed Piers' home-produced bacon and sausages. Highly recommended! We'll be scheduling a return ASAP.

A comfortable and cosy retreat

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing week in Rose Cottage and a warm welcome from the owners. Comfortable accommodation of a high standard, the cottage felt quite secluded, despite being part of a group of farm buildings and holiday cottages.

Eine Idylle

Das Rose Cottage auf einem Bilderbuch -Bauernhof lädt sowohl zum Verweilen auf dem Hof als auch in dem dazugehörenden schönen Gärtchen ein. Ziele für Tagesausflüge wie z.B. Salcombe, Kingsbridge, Dartmouth sind vom Cottage aus schnell zu erreichen. Die beeindruckendsten Küstenabschnitte Devons (Bolt Head und Sharp Tor) liegen fast "vor der Haustür und laden zu ausgedehnten Wanderungen auf dem Coast Path ein. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt bei den Gastgebern Piers und Sue sehr genossen und können das Rose Cottage für Interessenten nur weiterempfehlen.

Delightful retreat

Perfect for a Spring break - cozy cottage with a sunny, sheltered garden. We walked the SW coast path most days and enjoyed coming back to the comfort of Rose Cottage. Lots of places to eat out but the kitchen has everything you need to make your own meals. The welcome basket had some lovely treats in it - the farm's own eggs are a must, as is the pancetta. We loved just sitting in the garden watching the birds and checking on the lambs as we went out each day! Piers and Sue are very welcoming with a very light touch - you know they are around if you need them but they are not intrusive. It was a very relaxed holiday and we would certainly return.
