Charming Cottage In Peaceful Location

Set in the beautiful Coly Valley one mile from Colyton, Old Orchard Cottage sits peacefully within rural farmland enjoying lovely views of the surrounding river and countryside. Access to the coast is just 10 minutes away and there are plenty of fantastic walks either along the cliffs at Branscombe or further inland in beautiful rolling Devon hills and fields. The cottage sleeps five and has all basic facilities included. Private south facing terrace with access to garden, orchards and fields on the farm. Our chickens will happily provide some eggs for you as well! There is ample parking space for 2 cars at the property and the local town of Colyton just a mile away has much to offer including a variety of shops and pubs to choose from. Helpful advice available on all the local area has to offer. Dogs are welcome and we charge £30 per pet payable during their stay.

Happy Holiday in an Idyllic Cottage
Orchard Cottage is beautiful. We had a wonderful family holiday staying here. The property is a very pretty well maintained house set in a garden full of apple trees with horses just over the fence. The rooms are large, with a farmhouse kitchen, good size lounge, two good bedrooms. The upstairs bedroom is stunning. Our hosts Michael & Fiona were welcoming & helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here & would definitely return & highly recommend it.

Clean, spacious cottage in nice location.
Me, my partner and our 1 year old son really enjoyed our stay at Old Orchard Cottage which is set in a really peaceful location on Heathayne farm. This provided an excellent base for us for day trips to the beach, with the coast just a 10 min drive away. There is also a really nice walk to Colyton along the river right on the door step. The cottage itself was clean, spacious and had everything we needed, including a high chair and stair gate for our son. There were only 3 of us, but there was ample space for at least 5 people to stay with an additional 2 beds that we didn't use. Overall a very positive experience, and we would highly recommend this cottage.

Wonderful stay
What a gem! We loved staying here, the cottage is spacious and comfy and is really well equipped with everything you need. It’s a lovely peaceful setting with lots to do in the nearby towns and beaches. Our son loved saying hello to the horses every morning from the garden! We’d love to come back again one day.

Perfect peace and quiet
Cosy, good size property in an idyllic spot. Dog walks along the river metres from the cottage. Only a few miles to several pebble beaches for scenic walks. The nearby town of Colyton has a fascinating history as well as places to eat. A lovely relaxing cottage to stay in.

Relaxing by the river
Just the break we needed in beautiful Devonshire countryside with river walks on the doorstep and the coast a short drive away. It was lovely to be on an active farm with cows in the meadows and horses for neighbours. The house is great, comfy master bed and spacious kitchen. Colyton is an incredibly friendly village, 2 welcoming local pubs and steak and Stilton pies at Antons butchers to die for! Thank you Michael for a really enjoyable summer break.

3 Night Stay
Had a fun 3 night break in the cottage. Perfect for the dogs with a short walk to the river and fields. Inside more spacious than originally thought. Plates, bowls and cutlery a bit of a mish-mash. Some of the plates and glasses in a bit of a tired state and in need of being replaced. Upstairs bedroom not very private as it can be viewed from the kitchen. Garden, although not used needed a tidy up as mainly overgrown.

Delightful cottage in wonderfully quiet location
Set in lovely countryside but still in reach of local amenities, coastal towns and shops. We loved the walk from Beer to Branscombe and also visiting Lyme Regis. The cottage sits next to the original C15th farmhouse but is sheltered within its own garden area with paddocks of ponies, chickens and ducks as neighbours.

Lovely "Little Orchard"
Again we had a wonderful time in this little cottage with enough space for our three children and us. The landscape is really great, our trips to Honiton or to the dartmoor were phantastic, and it was very nice to talk to our hosts, Fiona an Michael! The children loved the friendly animals, and even the weather was fine! We will come back! Uli & Angelika

Great cottage, good size and layout, tastefully furnished, idyllic spot.
Photos on website don't do justice to the cottage, which is very lovely. Great layout, nice big kitchen, cosy living room overlooking the ponies, comfy beds, beautifully green spot - river walk lovely in both directions just out of the gate, graat beaches at Beer and Branscombe nearby.

Charming and peaceful countryside Cottage!
The cottage is spacious and lovingly furnished. There is everything you need. But above all, there is plenty of rest. The owners are very nice and helpful. We loved sitting in front of the fireplace or having breakfast outside in the Garden while watching the horses and ducks. We would love to come back!

Walkers paradise straight from the doorstep; very kind owners next door; lots of privacy. Pretty places to visit nearby as lovely beaches as wel.

Perfect cottage in an idyllic location, great for a relaxing break
We were looking for a relaxing long weekend away and we weren't at all disappointed, our two dogs visited with us and had a ball. We had a lovely warm welcome from everyone including the horses and chickens. The location is excellent to visit numerous coastal areas in not too much time at all, we really enjoyed our strolls around Lyme Regis and Sidmouth. Definitely planning a return trip one day.

Perfect!!!!!
Barn Owl Cottage could not have been more perfect. We traveled to England from the US to visit with family and friends. We have 2 primary age children and wanted a comfortable, peaceful cottage with room for the kids to play. That is exactly what we got. The cottage itself is beautiful, fresh and new. The upstairs layout with 2 bedrooms on the same level with a bathroom in between was perfect for our family. Downstairs we had loads of room and enjoyed having a fully equipped kitchen for light meals. Helen and Martin were the most gracious of hosts. Although we had complete privacy, we also enjoyed getting to know Helen, Martin and Fly :) We look forward to staying here again when we return to England next. You couldn't pick a better cottage to stay in. Fresh, clean, spacious, in a beautiful private location, with the best hosts! Thank you for sharing your space with us, Helen and Martin! We truly enjoyed our visit, meeting you both and staying at Barn Owl Cottage.

Wonderfully peaceful, idyllic Devon cottage
We had a wonderful stay in this stunning Devon cottage.You couldn't ask for more from the location! It was a real pleasure to meet the owners who were there to meet us on arrival and were so helpful getting us settled in. The cottage has everything you could need and is absolutely beautiful, we slept so well! We loved seeing the ducks, chickens and horses every day. I really hope we will be back in the not too distant future.

Delightful and idyllic retreat
We had the loveliest time staying at the Old Orchard cottage. The cottage itself is beautifully presented, spacious and full of character and charm. There's heaps of space both inside and out, and we made most of the Devon sunshine and the barbecue by eating out on the patio most evenings whilst watching the ponies in the field, and the other animals going about their business. The girls loved the ducks and the hens and Michael very kindly allowed them to help with feeding, which they really enjoyed. There is so much to do immediately around the farm - we loved the meadow behind the farm, as well as the walk up through the woods. Colyton, with all of it's amenities is very nearby, and yet the setting is such that you very much feel as if you're truly away from it all in the heart of the countryside. The cottage was a fabulous base for excursions to the beaches and coastal villages and towns, as well as Dartmoor. We would have loved to have stayed longer and will definitely be returning!

Peaceful, Idyllic holiday retreat
The cottage was beautiful just as the website and review said it would be, a wonderful quiet setting where you can enjoy life.. Its location was also great for easy access to the coast where Sue and myself did a lot of walking as did our dog (Reece) He loved it either being at the cottage or out walking the coast line in a wonderful part of the country. We would definately go back just because there is more to see and its a wonderful place to stay. Thank you Michael we all enjoyed our stay at the cottage.
