“The cottage was an absolute dream to stay in, it was so nice to get off of the roundabout of city life and experience total peace and quiet and not a street light in sight or the sound of any cars.”

Although we didn’t see them very often the owners were helpful if you needed them. The cottage was very well equipped and tea coffee etc was provided. Tea towels washing up liquid and cloths were also provided there was also good quality towels supplied. Basic condiments were on hand to use salt pepper vinegar etc although I’m not sure if the owners supplied them or they were left by other visitors to the cottage.

Although we didn’t see them very often the owners were helpful if you needed them. The cottage was very well equipped and tea coffee etc was provided. Tea towels washing up liquid and cloths were also provided there was also good quality towels supplied. Basic condiments were on hand to use salt pepper vinegar etc although I’m not sure if the owners supplied them or they were left by other visitors to the cottage. There was no tv in the cottage which we was not too bothered about but it would of been nice to have the choice. There is no local shops i think the nearest one was about 6 miles away so if you intend to cook make sure you come armed with your supplies. Our dog loved the freedom of the walks and running about in the fields which the owners are happy for you to explore. We would definitely return to salters again.

“A beautiful, hidden gem in Devon.”

Quiet and peaceful for perfect little family holiday cottage. Really well equipped, very clean and welcoming. Would highly recommend.

- Mrs Andrews, September 2019
“The cottage was very well equipped and furnished to a good standard.”

- Mr Collins, September 2019
“Salter's is a beautiful modern barn conversion set on a working farm which expands for 240 acres.”

The setting is breathtaking and the surrounding area idyllic. Henrietta, the owner was so friendly and accommodating and we were greeted regularly by her two very friendly dogs. The location of Salter's was perfect for us and with a fabulous pub The Black Dog only minutes away in the car, we couldn't have asked for more. We would definitely recommend the food at The Black Dog and proprietors were very welcoming too. We would definitely go back!

- Mrs Alexander, September 2019

“A beautiful place to stay.”

- Mrs Sykes, June 2019
“A sympathetically restored building, done to a high standard.”

Comfortable beds, wonderful views, and a kind yet unobtrusive owner next door. Would definitely return, and happy to recommend highly!

“Beautiful location and peaceful.”

A lovely cosy stay with all the facilities.

- Mrs Butler, October 2018
“Absolutely stunning property in a perfect setting.”

Owners were very welcoming and the property was spotless and comfortable. Please note though, that milk was not provided (as per a review on Tripadvisor) but tea bags and coffee were. Thoroughly recommend and would love to return in the future.

- Mrs Badman, August 2018
“The cottage was lovely but in very remote part of Devon quite a distance from different places and the nearest supermarket was a good 30 mins drive away.”

- Miss Phillips, July 2018
“A wonderful location in a relaxing and peaceful environment.”

“The holiday cottage of our dreams!”

This cottage has been the most amazing blessing! Situated in the rolling hills of Devon, with easy reach of Exmoor and Exeter, Salters is a wonderful place to stay! It is an old barn which has been renovated to the highest standard we could imagine and eco friendly too! It has a wonderful traditional / modern mix and is well thought out. Downstairs is composed of an open plan kitchen / Living / diner. The kitchen is hand painted and fitted out really well. There was nothing we could have looked for that wasn’t provided. Old beams, oak floors, good art, well placed lighting and wonderful views make the downstairs somewhere you want to sit and enjoy. Under floor heating ensures that December days are cosy! Everything is done in great taste resulting in style, comfort and a huge feel good factor. The spectacular views over meadowland are maximised by the use of glazed doors and large, low windows. Upstairs the 2 bedrooms are again stylish with comfortable beds and quality linen. The bathroom has a power drench shower and the thick, fluffy John Lewis towels make the experience that of a top hotel room. Views from the bedrooms are equally good. Oli and Hen, the owners are delightful and made us incredibly welcome. They provided milk, tea, coffee, cereal. They are at the same time both down to earth farmers and interior designers with great style! We visited Crediton with its interesting Church and plentiful shops. The Lamb in Sandford is a great pub with a hearty fire and good food. We extended our stay to 10 days because this place was so good and so relaxing. We’d highly recommend this cottage. It’s the most lovely cottage we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in many! Thank you Oli and Hen!
