About the home

The cottage is a pretty red bricked, Victorian stable building which have been updated over a number of years. Located within the gardens of the main house the stable has it’s own driveway and sheltered courtyard. Stable doors lead into the cottage and the large well equipped kitchen breakfast room. The sitting room is bright and comfy and we have a downstairs cloakroom with shower. The stairs wind up to two very pretty bedrooms and bathroom. Both bedrooms have lovely views over East Devon. Whilst the cottage is completely self contained, guests are welcome to use the main gardens for walking, picnics or croquet. This cottage is ideally suited for people looking for peace and tranquility, wishing to get away from it all, yet is ideally located for people looking to explore East Devon by car or those wishing to enjoy peaceful walks. Shopping and restaurants in Honiton and Exeter. Beaches at Sidmouth, Exmouth and Branscombe. Fishing at Beer and Lyme Regis. Golf and pampering at Woodbury Country Club.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The cottage is bright and fresh and manages to be clean and modern yet comfortable. Lots of games in the cupboard with digital TV and DVD player.

Further details outdoors:
Guests are welcome to use the gardens at Holcombe Manor, we have sun-beds, tables for breakfast or supper and croquet can be played on the lawns.

Further details

I know from personal experience how hard it is to get away with animals - and so within reason I do try to say yes to some pets - my cottage has narrow passageways painted off white and it is just impossible with our Devon climate to keep larger dogs away from the walls - and I need always to be sensitive to the needs of all my guests and many have pet allergies -

So - I would prefer not to have pets, but if you have small easily managed dogs - let me know at the time of booking.

Conditions

We are happy for people to bring babies, but we have very deep ponds and so not suitable for older children - bu do please ask -

When wishing to bring dogs, please let me know breed of dogs. I am usually happy to say yes to toy and miniature breeds - but the cottage is just not suitable for bigger breeds.

Short stays - in my peak periods I cannot accept short stay bookings unless they are at really short notice - I do try to say yes.

The West Country / Devon region

We are eleven miles from Exeter with it's beautiful Cathedral and wonderful shops and restaurants. The dramatic Jurassic Coast which is Englands first Natural World Heritage Site is only six miles away. The South West Coast Path can be joined at Sidmouth, a gracious Georgian town. With breathtaking scenery and majestic cliffs East Devon is quite wonderful all year round.

The Ottery St Mary / East Hill area

Ottery St Mary is one of the most historic towns in Devon,nestling in the beautiful Otter Valley. East Hill flanks Ottery and we can be found in Holcombe Lane a quiet and peaceful no-through lane inhabited only by farming families. The jewel in Ottery's crown is our wonderful Parish Church, voted amongst the 20 finest in England. The Poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge was born in Ottery and the Ottery Heritage Museum which is open from May to September features many aspects of the Poets life and work.
Ottery is wonderful to visit at any time of the year, we have Pixie day in June and of course the World famous Tar Barrel Rolling event on Bonfire Night in November.
We are ideally based to explore the local historic houses of Cadhay, Escot and Bicton with their own gardens, mazes and walks.

Ours is a lovely rural location just over 2 km from the nearest town of Ottery St Mary.
There is a bus service, but this is very limited and quite slow.
We recommend that you have your own transport and can advise you on local hire companies if necessary. However, if you do need help we can arrange a taxi or possibly collect you ourselves.
Trains from Honiton over good local coverage with a stopping service through to
London or westerly through Devon into Cornwall. This links to the high speed intercity service at Exeter.
You can fly to Exeter, 15 km distant; this is a small airport with European and UK flights. Bristol airport, 140 km away offers a much larger UK and international service.

“Relaxed And Refreshed..Who Needs A Spa!” I have been travelling to and from Devon several times a year and wish I had known about this place earlier. The stables is a clean, homely, modern holiday rental, with lots of extra welcoming... more

“I want to go again!” Fantastic property for rental, set in beaufiul grounds and countryside, hosts are welcoming and non-intrusive. We were welcomed by homemade scones, clotted cream and jam on the table! Very good value, amazing property inside and out and only a short drive to local beach and surrounding villages. Everything is within easy reach and the town of Ottery St Mary is lovely with great shops and a great tea room. I would happily recommend this property to anybody and plan to go back as soon as possible! Response: Thank you so much for such a lovely review.
