About this property

Cottage in pretty village, easy access to Exeter, Torquay + coast + countryside

Cherry Tree Cottage is a charming cobb cottage in a village setting, in the heart of the Kenn Valley, and only 5 miles from the city of Exeter. The convenient location, just off the A38/A380 "Crossroads to Devon", gives easy access in any direction - the coast within (15 minutes) inc Torquay, the Exe Estuary Cycling and Walking trails (which runs from Dawlish up to Exeter and Topsham and onto Exmouth), the East for the Jurassic Coast (15 minutes), the stunning Dartmoor National Park (20 minutes), the stunning Teign Valley (15 minutes), The English Riviera, Torquay and Paignton (25 minutes), Plymouth (25 Minutes) and North Devon (1 hour), etc.
The property has 2 bedrooms - 1 double and 1 single (sleeps 3). It has an Inglenook fireplace and Woodburning stove , a Rangemaster cooker to complete the beautiful homely country kitchen/diner, dishwasher and washer/dryer. There is underfloor heating in the stylish travertine wet room. The hand-made oak staircase is a particular feature of the property. There is a peaceful and pretty cottage garden where you can sit out and enjoy a glass of wine!
The village boasts a friendly and well stocked shop and a village bar (both 100 metres from the door), and just a mile away is the Ley Arms, a 12th Century thatched pub.

Ideal for location and comfort
Just what we needed - a comfortable little cottage with two bedrooms, all clean, very handy for a short drive to Exeter. Parking right outside the cottage wasn't possible as there are many cars parked nearby, but we managed to find a space close by. Thanks for the flapjacks!

Tout simplement parfait !
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce superbe cottage très bien situé, hyper confortable et très bien équipé : tout ce dont on pourrait avoir besoin s'y trouve ! Nous ne manquerons pas d'y revenir et remercions à nouveau Jacqui et Paul qui font tout leur possible pour rendre le séjour de leurs hôtes le plus agréable possible (mention spéciale aux scones et aux flapjaps ;-)

About the host

Paul and I have been lucky enough to live in Devon for most of our lives. I have lived in Kennford for 13 years - we live together now - just up the road! I most recently worked as a PA and Paul is our sound Accountant! We love being outdoors exploring the countryside, either on foot or on our bikes, and know that we have the very best on our doorstep. The Kenn Valley is stunning and we regularly enjoy a bike ride along the Exe Estuary trail or escaping to Dartmoor National Park for a walk and a picnic (just 20 minutes away). The city of Exeter has a lovely feel and there is of course lots to see and do. We also love to pop down to Topsham (the old Port). We hope you will feel free to enjoy the many walks and cycle rides we have left in the comprehensive welcome/visitor information pack so that you make the very best of your stay (we have done your homework for you!)

Why they chose this property

We do love the village. It has everything we need - with a great local shop, some great pubs and a village bar, but at the same time we are just a 10 miles from the coast and 15 miles from Dartmoor. We will never tire of this area, so we have decided to stay put and buy a holiday home so that you can get a taste of the good life!

What makes this property unique

When we saw the cottage we fell in love with it as it is just so characterful, but immaculate. It has the most beautiful handmade staircase and we love the exposed beams. It is a perfect combination of old meets new - with the stylish shower room, inglenook fireplace and beautiful oak staircase.
