Crab Apple Cottage at Daisyland Farm - with a large enclosed garden and open views over the field to the woodland beyond.
The sitting-room has a wood-burning stove and deep comfy sofas to curl up on.
Two sets of doors open onto this wide paved terrace and the fully enclosed garden. The post and rail fencing also has rabbit proof wire and so is as secure as is reasonably possible.
The kitchen/dining-room is really spacious, with the front door opening to the farmstead.
The two and a half acre arboretum is the most beautiful and peaceful place to explore, sit with a book or have a picnic lunch.
Stairs lead from the sitting-room to the first floor of the cottage. There is also a door directly out onto the patio.
The kitchen is a delightful sociable space to cook in, with the farmhouse table in the other half of the room.
The sparkling worktop will inspire you to cook, but there is also a footpath through woodland directly to the friendly local pub.
Another view of the sitting-room. This is a sunny dual-aspect room but so cosy for a restful stay at any time of the year.
The gorgeous cottage in a fabulous setting.
The main bedroom has a king-size bed and its own en suite shower-room. High ceilings and a large window make this room lovely and light and airy.
You can sit in bed with your morning cup of tea and look out over the meadow. You are quite likely to see deer grazing in the evening or early in the morning.
The two bedrooms are at opposite ends of the corridor.
This is the en suite shower-room for the master bedroom. The wonderful shower has a rainfall shower head as well as a conventional one.
The second bedroom has views out over the 2.5 acre arboretum which is filled with unique tree species.
The bathroom next to the twin bedroom has a bath as well as a fitted shower.
The second bedroom set up as a super-king bed.
What a fabulous countryside setting these friendly neighbours have to roam and enjoy.
The garden is fenced to reassure parents with young children and guests who wish to being their dog with them.
A perfect place to enjoy the sunshine, and get immersed in your favourite book.
The outside space is perfect for all the family.
Newly installed EV charger for extra convenience.
Home produced eggs from the special breed chickens are available for guests to buy.
Guests can treat themselves to a lovely selection of home produce from the smallholding.
The very lovely Beer beach.
Lyme Regis beach is a great place for a day out.
Pay a visit to the peaceful Otter Estuary Nature Reserve.
Killerton House and Gardens are well worth a visit.

Crab Apple cottage is a wonderful space to relax and unwind in the heart of East Devon. The cottage itself is cosy, beautifully furnished and very well equipped. It's within easy reach of the coast, Exeter and Dartmoor but there are many gems to visit closer to home too; magnificent hill forts at Blackbury Camp and Hembury, beautiful woodland at Blackborough and wonderful gardens and houses at NT properties Killerton, A la Ronde and Knightshayes. We also especially like the Donkey Sanctuary at Sidmouth and walking the coast path between there and Branscombe. Another favourite spot is Budleigh Salterton where the walk to the cafe at Otterton is full of wildlife and interest. The Drewe Arms at Broadhembury is excellent for food. Lucy and Ian are exceptional hosts at Crab Apple; they are on hand if needed but generally unobtrusive. The welcome pack is full of home produced, delicious treats. Last, but definitely not least, I need to mention the arboretum; literally on the doorstep, this is a magical place to listen to the dawn chorus, soak up the scent of the apple blossom and truly get away from it all, relax and recharge. We've visited four times now and already looking forward to our fifth stay next year! ...

Quiet peaceful and totally chilling cottage in beautiful location
Mrs Williams April 2023
This is our third visit to this cottage - which I think says it all. The cottage is welcoming, clean and exquisitely presented. All the furnishings are of a very high standard. The bed is so comfortable, a great night's sleep is a given. It is light and airy and conversely, the log burner makes it warm and toasty, in the cooler months. The patio and garden are both generous in size and very dog-friendly, as it is fully enclosed. They are both well maintained. With its rural location, it is quiet and relaxing, yet its proximity to the coast and M5, means all parts of Devon are easy to access. Lucy and Ian are lovely and friendly hosts. The welcome pack, of their home produced crab apple jelly and fresh eggs, are a delight. This is an absolute gem of a cottage and we will definitely be returning....
