My husband, Myself, our Son (nearly 3) and FiFi the dog have just returned from a lovely stay in Appletree Cottage.
Great accomodation in a rural setting with easy access to great beeches and towns!
Such a lovely touch to have a hamper of local produce to start the holiday off, the best egg yolks ever!! Be sure to purchase some of Piers' sausages and bacon, and make sure you take plenty home, Yum!!
Downsides are no WIFI, but really this is a good thing(or so I kept telling myself).
No quick easy off road walks for dog from property, and toilet duties to be done on lead (if you have a chicken savage of a dog) as no contained area!
Apparently it is MUCH cheaper if you DON'T book through AirBnB! Research!!

I stayed in Appletree cottage for a long weekend with my wife and very young children, we found the cottage nicely appointed, clean and very cosy.. Piers was extremely welcoming and the goodies left in the cottage were very tasty. We loved staying on a working farm as this is what we are used to. The star of our stay was the area, we have fallen in love with this part of the South Hams, we liked the walks on wind swept beaches and visiting the local towns, so much to see and do, what a lovely place.

We stayed in Appletree Cottage in mid September, and had a lovely time. The cottage itself was very well equipped- the kitchen in particular! Big bedrooms with comfy beds and underfloor heating. Our 2 year old loved seeing the pigs, horses and 'chinkins' (chickens!), and it was nice to be able to wander around and look at the animals whenever we wanted- thanks Piers!

The location is perfect, very peaceful and within easy reach of some great places. We visited Salcombe, Dartmouth, Start Point, Slapton Sands, Blackpool Sands. Beesands (the home of the Cricket Inn which is lovely and the little shack that does good fish and chips) is only a mile or so away and had 'something about it' that we really liked. I think it was the peacefulness and the great views out to sea.

The ONLY, very minor thing I would point out is the lack of safety net around the trampoline! I know that it was used at our own risk, and our 2 year old loved it, but we were running round it like idiots whenever she went on to try and stop her launching herself off the edge! (which she would have done given half a chance!!).

Lovely holiday, we have already recommended Appletree Cottage to friends and family!

We enjoyed a fantastic short break at Appletree Cottage. This was our fourth time at Cotmore Farm . We had previously stayed at The Barn but on this occasion it was booked so we decided to try Appletree Cottage. We can honestly say that Appletree is every bit as good as The Barn. The cottage is virtually new and has been finished to an extremely high standard and specification. Everything you would expect from 5 star accommodation is provided. The bedrooms and en-suites are luxurious. The open plan living area and kitchen are faultless. Our 2 1/2 year old son loved reacquainting himself with the chickens, sheep, horses and especially the pigs ! The farm is located in a stunning area with fantastic beaches very nearby. We have travelled extensively and can genuinely say that the owners Piers ans Sue have got this absolutely spot on.

We stayed at Cotmore Farm in 2011 and revisited this year and was not disappointed. Appletree Cottage is the last of three conversions that Piers has completed and it is home from home with everything you need to ensure your stay is pleasant. A great welcome pack awaited with some lovely fresh pressed Apple Juice from the orchard and fresh eggs from the rare breed chickens that are on the farm.
We have now stayed in the Barn and Appletree Cottage and I hope it won't be another 4 years before we get to stay again.
The hosts are extremely helpful and nothing is too much.

great hosts, great accommodation, great location, easy to find , easy to get about , the hosts were there if needed but were also very discrete.
