About this property

Luxury country hideaway on the fringes of Start Bay

Cotmore Farm offers a warm welcome to discerning holidaymakers in three sympathetically and ecologically restored farm buildings, recently converted into stylish and luxurious holiday accommodation, and finished to the very highest specifications in natural and where possible local materials. Rose Cottage is situated at the heart of the farm, hidden behind a stone wall covered in climbing roses, clematis and honeysuckle, and reached through an arched gateway. Its jewel-like garden is completely private, filled with trees, shrubs and fragrant climbers, with a small herb garden for guests' use, a barbecue, and a patio offering glimpses of the sea at Beesands to the southeast. Three sets of French doors give access to the cottage, filling it with light whatever the weather. Inside, heated slate floors, individually controllable in each room, and stylish oak furniture create an atmosphere of comfortable luxury. From the entrance hall, a rustic oak door leads right to the bedroom, where an oak-framed double bed with pocket-sprung mattress is flanked by oak bedside tables with stay-cool LED reading lamps. Opposite the bed an alcove hides a large vanity basin and mirrored cabinet. Next to that, an obscure glazed door leads to the marble tiled bathroom, with its giant walk-in shower. French doors mean you can walk straight out from the bedroom to take breakfast in the cottage's private garden. To the left of the hall is the living room and the compact but fully equipped oak kitchen. A comfy leather sofa and flat screen TV add further pampering touches, while an efficient woodburner ensures the cottage stays snug whatever the weather. Here too French doors allow direct access to the garden, a haven for the birds that regularly visit our many feeders – we even supply a guide so you can identify them yourself. Foodies will appreciate the proximity of some of Devon's finest gastropubs and restaurants, while walkers (and their dogs) will not want for new routes to explore, with direct access from the farm gate to a network of quiet lanes, footpaths, bridleways, and the superb South Devon Coast Path.

A lovely break in rose cottage Cotmore farm
We had a lovely week away at the beautiful Cotmore farm. Piers and sue and their lovely family set the scene with their lovely cottage where we stayed and were always on hand with ideas of places to visit in the surrounding areas. Loved the chickens and the black pigs along with Jack the family dog. Would thoroughly recommend and hope to go back

About the host

Hosted by Piers Spence

Host profile image
Cotmore is a 17th century house surrounded by 13 acres of land that was already a farm more than a thousand years ago. It is a welcoming place that is home to Piers, Sue, various visiting student offspring, some cats, and a small, friendly, bouncy dog called Jack. We moved here from south-east England in 2011, with the aim of establishing an ecologically sustainable holiday experience such as we remember from our own childhoods in Ireland and Cornwall respectively. We have painstakingly converted stone barns and outbuildings to deliver stylish and luxurious self-catering accommodation at the heart of the farm. As well as horses, we keep Large Black pigs, Shetland sheep, and free-range chickens and ducks, all of which provide a plentiful supply of eggs, sausages, bacon and hams that we are happy to share with holiday guests. And, living just a mile from the spectacular south Devon coast, we take full advantage of our fabulous seaside location to walk, swim, cycle, surf and kayak.
