Larkshayes Cottages is a countryside escape with a bit of class (plus and a fab hot tub!) Set on the edge of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, these converted stables offer guests peaceful Devon views, slick interiors and the kind of rural calm where you can really unwind and catch your breath. Each cottage has its own unique style with private verandas, sunken hot tubs and fully kitted-out kitchens. You'll be greeted by a lovely welcome pack containing tea, coffee, biscuits and a bottle of wine to kick things off in style.

This is an excellent location as you’re also just two miles from sister park Andrewshayes, where you can use the covered heated pool (Easter to October), grab a drink at the bar and let the kids run riot in the soft play and playground. Handy if you’ve got little ones or fancy a nice drink somewhere new.

For couples, we’d go with Otter Cottage. It’s made for two, has an electric woodburning stove and the veranda is spot-on for a glass of wine in the hot tub. Or go bigger with Corry Brook Cottage which sleeps six, has great views and loads of space inside and out. 

Enjoy plenty to do nearby as you're just 20 minutes from the Jurassic Coast. Or head to Lyme Regis or Charmouth for fossil hunts or just to smash some fish and chips by the sea. Axminster is nearby for shops and local food, and Exeter is under an hour if you fancy a cathedral or a bit more bustle.

Larkshayes Cottages is a fab, peaceful spot that's private without being cut off and has all the comforts you'd expect. Many guests return here year after year. Check your dates below.
