    “This property is the best self we have stayed in having had 40 years of self catering holidays.”

    I only gave it 9 out of 10 because the paths down to the door from the car park may be a problem for people with reduced mobility, and make it a bit awkward getting luggage to and from the house. Very peaceful setting, charming house, very well equipped, and lovely garden with lots of sitting areas

    Thank you so much for this lovely feedback. It's quite an accolade to be the best you've stayed in during 40 years of self catering! We're delighted to know that guests have enjoyed their stay at Appletree Cottage. Thank you also for the kind words you left in the guest book for Cheryl, our lovely housekeeper, and for Amanda and her team of gardeners. It means a lot to them when their efforts are appreciated. So a thank you from all the team and we hope to see you back in Appletree soon. Thank you for drawing attention to the garden paths. We mention in the cottage notes that there are changes of level and the property is not suitable for people with limited mobility. Over the years, we've widened the paths and steps, reduced the changes of level and in general made it a bit easier to move from the parking area to the cottage. However, the cottage and gardens are built into a hillside, which is part of their charm, and there's a limit as to what more can be done. Given notice, we're sure our lovely neighbour would allow guests to bring their suitcases up her virtually step free path through her garden to our cottage. With best wishes, David and Hilary Property Owner

About the location

BOVEY TRACEY

Newton Abbott 6.5 miles; Teigmouth 10 miles; Exeter 15 miles

Nestled in the valley of the River Bovey is this stunning little town known as "The Gateway to the Moor". Bovey Tracey got its name from the meandering river that flows through it, with 'Tracey' representing the family that were the lords of the manor after the Norman Conquest. It has a great history with heavy involvement in the English Civil War which resulted in the name of the town's pub "The Cromwell Arms" which serves real ale and good food. The history of the town can be discovered in the Heritage Centre, with the Dartmoor National Park Authority also nearby. Bovey Tracey offers a selection of shops and cafés along with the stunning Mill Marsh Park and the Dartmoor Whisky Distillery which offers guided tours. The town comes just outside of the Dartmoor National Park which provides seemingly endless walking and cycling paths along with incredible scenery. The market town of Newton Abbot sits nearby, offering a fantastic day out with charming buildings and a good range of amenities. The beautiful city of Exeter is also within driving distance, and if a day at the seaside is what you're after then take a trip to Teignmouth.

Note: BBQs are not permitted due to the thatched roof. Short breaks are not available.
Due to the changes in level in the terraced garden, this cottage is not suitable for young children or those with limited mobility.
Parking at the rear of the property is accessed via a narrow lane.
Reduced rent for smaller groups up to 2 people - available all year.
Note: For any holiday starting between 16th September and 27th May, a heating supplement of £35.00 will be added to the cost of your holiday.
