About this property

Fabulous luxury barn conversion on the fringes of Start Bay

The Barn at Cotmore Farm is your home-from-home just a mile from the sea on Devon's glorious south coast. Surrounded by 13 acres of pasture, woodland and orchards, it offers all the comforts of a stylish country dwelling, with the added bonus of farm animals to visit and pet, and all this within 10 minutes' drive of some of the best beaches in the country. Two flexibly configurable bedrooms with heated slate floors, each with its own luxurious bathroom; a huge, open-plan living space with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, a fully equipped kitchen at one end and comfy leather sofas at the other; and a secluded private sun-trap of a garden with dining facilities and barbecue; all this and more awaits you in The Barn. Located at the heart of the farm, where days unroll to the rhythm of the seasons, you’ll find it impossible not to relax and fall into step: collect your own eggs for breakfast, pick herbs for a lunchtime salad from the cottage garden, help yourselves to apples from the orchard. Finally, after another exhausting day at the beach or on the moors, walking, cycling, or just pottering around, when evening draws in and absolute tranquility descends on the farmyard, broken only by the sounds of the animals putting themselves to bed, snuggle up in front of a woodburning fire with a book from our library.

Wish we could have stayed longer!
We stayed at The Barn for three nights to attend a family wedding and loved our stay. We just wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy this stunning area and make the most of such a beautiful cottage. The Barn was really well equipped and comfortable, with a pretty outside seating area/garden. Just the right balance of modern, with bags of character. The welcome pack was a lovely touch, thank you. I’d also recommend buying some sausages and bacon from the farmhouse - they’re delicious! Thank you for a warm welcome and a lovely stay.

Cannot recommend highly enough!
Beautiful property, so well provisioned , we could not have asked for anything more. The comms from Piers before the stay was excellent and he made the rebooking of the stay (due to the original date being during lockdown) a breeze. The CV19 hygiene precautions taken were high quality and provided us with real reassurance. Thank you, Piers and family, for making our long awaited family break so memorable.

Brilliant stay
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Barn. Perfect location to visit Salcombe, Dartmouth, Start Point and Beesands. Lovely farm location alive with pigs, sheep, horses, ducks, chickens and of course Jack the poodle! Perfect for families or couples and very peaceful. Accommodation was immaculate with a wonderful welcome hamper - thank you. The ‘own brand’ bacon & jam were amazing, as were the fresh eggs each day. Piers was away on hols but we were made to feel very welcome by Sue and sincerely look forward to visiting this gem of a place again very soon. All 3 properties available look fabulous with a great deal of attention to detail. Stayed for 4 nights but so wish we’d stayed longer.

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.
