Everything we wanted and more!

Everything we wanted and more!

- Mr Maltby, June 2021
Mr Wardle June 2021

“Beautiful cottage, with amazing garden.”

Peaceful setting. Well located for Dartmoor and coast, though narrow lanes not for the faint hearted!

- Mr Wardle, June 2021
Mrs Weaver June 2021

“Wonderful property, always wanted to stay in a thatched cottage.”

So well appointed though the access needed some effort, we nailed it! Spectacular gardens, perfect location for us near to Bovey Tracey. Very well supported with contact to the owners, 100% clean throughout and Covid secure. Chocolate box presentation and a wonderful welcome - Prosecco and flowers. Super relaxing and we would definitely return. A week of relaxation after a terrible year of lockdown, comfortable and every amenity there for us! Thank you so much Hilary and Dave. x

“House and garden lovely in an ideal, but remote setting.”

Has everything you need for that quiet holiday in the country. It is close to Dartmoor and coast for those days out. Excellent spot.

- Mrs Yates, May 2021
Mrs Hesketh May 2021

“We had a really relaxing week in a beautiful cottage, the only downside unfortunately was the British weather!”

After the driest April on record the weather decided to play Mr Nasty for our holiday and we had every type of weather imaginable, apart from warm sunshine! It did mean we couldn’t take advantage of the cottage’s beautiful garden but it didn’t really deter us from getting out and about and enjoying the warmth of the cottage on our return.

“The neighbours hedge bulges out into the approach to the parking space at the rear of the property, making it extremely difficult to reach .”

Mr King September 2020

“By far the best equipped cottage we have ever rented and was spotlessly clean.”

Owners were really helpful both before and during our stay. The cottage felt like a home rather than a holiday let.

- Mr King, September 2020
Mr Hyttner August 2020

“The cottage is great but bthe access to parking is very tight and not suitable for any large vehicle”

- Mr Hyttner, August 2020
Sadie August 2020

“What a lovely, comfortable cottage.”

We felt very welcome and very much at home there.

- Sadie, August 2020
Mr Jacobs August 2020

“Ideal base for a week exploring Devon and after a day sightseeing it felt like you were coming home such was the delight of Appletree Cottage.”

Everything you could possibly need was provided for; it was a pretty much perfect place to stay.

- Mr Jacobs, August 2020
Mrs Haynes July 2020

“This was our second visit to Appletree and it did not disappoint.”

The cottage was spotlessly clean, in fact the owners and their housekeeper had gone above and beyond to make the place safe for our visit. At the same time the cottage was cosy and comfortable and we did not want for anything. The Gardens are spectacular and with plenty of garden furniture provided they made a lovely place to relax in.

- Mrs Haynes, July 2020
Mr Cave December 2019

“Great place to stop”

- Mr Cave, December 2019
Miss Parkes October 2019

“We had a lovely week in this beautiful thatched cottage on the edge of Dartmoor and within striking distance of many attractions.”

The cottage is equipped with everything you could wish for, and wonderfully cosy and characterful. Our only regret is that we weren't there in the summer to make the most of the garden, but hopefully we will be back again!

- Miss Parkes, October 2019
Mr Simpson August 2019

“A quintessential English cottage with a peaceful location just a few minutes from the heart of Dartmoor.”

We couldn't have wished for better!

- Mr Simpson, August 2019

What a lovely cottage even left us a bottle of prossecco which I thought was a nice bit of an adventure driving to cottage and not really sutible for older people stairs very steep but still very nice

Mr Fletcher July 2019

“Fantastic cottage owners very helpful”

- Mr Fletcher, July 2019
Mr Dennis May 2019

“Appletree Cottage is extremely well maintained and very comfortable.”

The two bedrooms are of a good size, well presented with plenty of storage and the beds comfortable. Those are the only two rooms upstairs and the staircase is a little on the steep side as one may expect in a cottage of this age. Downstairs is spacious with a beautiful lounge area with window seats in the bay overlooking countryside. There is a large well equipped kitchen where we ate and it would be a real challenge to find anything to be critical of, it was really lovely. When we stayed in early June 2019 the garden was even more beautiful than shown in the photographs and anyone interested in flower gardens will love it. However there are plenty of steps and the paths are narrow. Parking/turning is tight with a big car. We were really happy there and had a brilliant holiday. Thanks.

Mr Clifford May 2019

“Lovely thatched cottage, one of the best we have stayed in.”

The facilities and equipment were excellent - just like home from home.

- Mr Clifford, May 2019
Mrs Haynes April 2019

“A really lovely country cottage with a beautiful garden in a very peaceful setting.”

The cottage was warm, cosy and very well equipped. We wanted for nothing, a real home from home.

About the location

BOVEY TRACEY

Newton Abbott 6.5 miles; Teigmouth 10 miles; Exeter 15 miles

Nestled in the valley of the River Bovey is this stunning little town known as "The Gateway to the Moor". Bovey Tracey got its name from the meandering river that flows through it, with 'Tracey' representing the family that were the lords of the manor after the Norman Conquest. It has a great history with heavy involvement in the English Civil War which resulted in the name of the town's pub "The Cromwell Arms" which serves real ale and good food. The history of the town can be discovered in the Heritage Centre, with the Dartmoor National Park Authority also nearby. Bovey Tracey offers a selection of shops and cafés along with the stunning Mill Marsh Park and the Dartmoor Whisky Distillery which offers guided tours. The town comes just outside of the Dartmoor National Park which provides seemingly endless walking and cycling paths along with incredible scenery. The market town of Newton Abbot sits nearby, offering a fantastic day out with charming buildings and a good range of amenities. The beautiful city of Exeter is also within driving distance, and if a day at the seaside is what you're after then take a trip to Teignmouth.
