This property was completely beyond our expectations. Everything was thought of from the heat of the bedrooms to keeping the dog safely away from furniture. Lucy and Ian are fabulous hosts who we were sad to say goodbye to. Crab Apple Cottage really has a home from home feel.
Mrs Beale September 2020
This was our second visit to Crab Apple cottage and I'm sure it won't be our last. The cottage is warm, comfortable and very well equipped; Lucy and Ian are excellent hosts. The location is perfect for exploring East Devon. We loved meeting the hens, watching the apple pressing and sampling Lucy's lovely homemade produce. The arboretum is a simply stunning place, quite magical; a beautiful space to relax and unwind.

Another wonderful break at Crab Apple Cottage. Highly recommended.
Mrs Stephens January 2020
Beautiful cottage with all the home comforts you could expect. Lucy was a fantastic host and makes the most amazing ice cream. Fantastic location for dogs that require lots of exercise. Tranquil retreat that is close to amenities should you need to wander out, but this cottage is so wonderful you won't want to leave. Already planning our return

Mrs Broad November 2019
If you are looking for the perfect, peaceful break, then this cottage is definitely the place for you. We were utterly drawn into the peace and comfort of this delightful cottage. No matter what the weather, this cottage offers tranquillity and a place to recharge batteries. The owners are lovely, warm and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The cottage is spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. The wood burner adds a comforting glow as well as warmth, though the cottage has an efficient heating system. The beds are lush, guaranteeing a good nights sleep. The garden is enclosed and we felt at ease in the knowledge that the dogs were safe and happy. Wandering round the magical Arboretum, one could almost believe you were walking into Narnia. Woodland and fields are your neighbours along with a backdrop of stunning autumn colours. Perfect! We will be back in a heartbeat.

Mr Partelides October 2019
Great stay at Crab Apple Cottage. The property is immaculately presented and there are lots of thoughtful little touches from the home produce welcome gift to the supply of local maps and walking books. The large windows mean the house is always full of light and the eco heating system was so efficient we didn’t get to try out the cosy wood burning stove. The surrounding countryside provides lots of opportunities for coastal or hill walks and the hosts are on site if you want any help or local advice. We have already booked a return visit for next summer!
Mrs Lewis September 2019

Ms Summers July 2019
We had a wonderful short break at the cottage. Perfect for the dogs and us! Great location for doing as much or as little as you want. We will be back next year.
Mr Vaughan June 2019
Lucy and Ian made us so welcome and are excellent hosts. We enjoyed freshly laid eggs, strawberries and broad beans from the farm. The cottage was extremely dog friendly with every need catered for our dog, including a spacious garden with secure fencing, long leads, water bowl, towel and poo bags. The adjacent field provided an excellent exercise area for him.
The cottage is in a very quiet, rural location which made for a very relaxing stay. It is very well equipped with everything needed and our arrival pack of fresh flowers, eggs, bread, jams, tea and coffee was very welcome.
Mr Morley May 2019
Lovely quiet rural location with beautiful surroundings, especially the arboretum. A rare treat! Looking forward to returning already! Thanks to the great owners.
Mrs Beale May 2019
This is a wonderful cottage which makes a very convenient base to explore East Devon. The attention to detail in the finish and furnishings is second to none; Lucy is a very welcoming host and we look forward to returning to Crab Apple Cottage before too long!
Ms Ward May 2019
What a beautiful property, I could have stayed there forever! Lucy and Ian were very welcoming hosts and they have thought of every possible comfort. This is an eco house, running off solar panels in the field, we were fascinated by the latest tech 'mirror heaters' in all the rooms. The garden was fully dog proof and we could walk the dog around the beautiful arboretum and hay fields on site. The house is in a wonderful situation, it feels like you are miles from anywhere although you are actually very close to everything. Our party of three had the most relaxing week, my only regret was that it was too warm to use the lovely log burner! Devon is beautiful and everywhere is so dog friendly it is a breath of fresh air.

Mrs Sinclair May 2019
Lovely cottage, with modern furnishings. The garden is fully fenced with wooden post and rail, and chicken wire making it completely dog proof! The setting is very peaceful and there are a number of good pubs close by. The owners Lucy and Ian are very kind and friendly and are around should you have any problems. They are equally happy to give you complete privacy too.
Mrs Pruett April 2019
The owners make adults and children alike so very welcome - would highly recommend
Ms Purdy March 2019
Crab Apple Cottage is an outstanding property in every sense. The cottage is thoughtfully and beautifully restored, offering both style and comfort. The location is super, complete peace and quiet with a real sense of being away from it all. We loved the outdoor space, the garden and arboretum where everything was coming to life with the arrival of spring. The Owners Lucy and Ian are fantastic hosts, kind and hospitable and there is you need anything but mindful of privacy. We have had a perfect week that exceeded expectations and we will certainly return. Thank you.
