Mrs Fearon 
“As we have been to Stables twice before, we knew what to expect and therefore it met our expectations.”
It is a lovely comfortable cottage with great views and the gardens are amazing. Being just outside Ottery St Mary, it is easy to pop to the shops - indeed you could walk it if you wanted to! There is plenty of beautiful countryside on the doorstep, river walks, coastal walks and hill walks.

- Mrs Burrows, July 2019 Mrs Fearon “This is our second stay at Stables, Cadhay, so we knew what to expect this time.”
Stables is a lovely, bright, comfortable cottage with great views of the manor house, gardens and walled garden where there are allotments. Everyone is so friendly and considerate, and a great bonus if you are staying for more than a week is a free tour of the magnificent Tudor house and beautiful garden. Tea and cakes can be purchased in the old apple store and either consumed inside or outside on the terrace. Cadhay is close to Ottery St Mary which is very convenient for shopping and within half an hour you can be on the Jurassic coast.
- Mrs Fearon, June 2019 Miss Tily “This is a beautiful place for solitude and escape from the world.”
Cadhay has restorative powers. This was our fourth visit and we hope to return again. Recommended by us without any reservation at all
- Miss Tily, April 2019 Mrs Wickson “We absolutely loved this location!”
Walkable to Ottery and lovely walks out from the Stables. Extremely cosy furnishings and the log stove proved a welcome return home in February.
- Mrs Wickson, February 2019 Mrs Carter “Lovely holiday let Very well equipped and homely Fantastic walks right on the door step Didn’t want to come home !”
- Mrs Carter, February 2019 Mrs Orwat “What a wonderful property to have as a base for our Summer holiday!”
Thank-you Rupert & Jayne for your attention & advice. Every comfort provided for; we had the best sleep I can remember, on any family holiday. Easy to walk from property to local attractions, & within half an hour of a number of great Devon beaches! We would love to return next year. Best wishes, Helen, Richie, Maddy, Joseph & Suzanne.
- Mrs Orwat, August 2018 Mrs Fearon “The Stables and the Cadhay estate are a little slice of heaven!”
It was much better than we expected it to be. The owner and caretaker were extremely helpful and made us feel welcome and we were treated to a tour of the main house and stunning garden on Open afternoon where we met more of the staff and helpers. The cottage was very spacious and well-equipped and we felt very comfortable. Everyone was so friendly. The estate is quite close to Ottery St Mary, a lovely old town with all that we could possibly need and it was not far from some lovely places and the beautiful coast. We shall certainly go back!
- Mrs Fearon, June 2018 The property
In a corner of the original walled kitchen garden of magnificent Cadhay (G100, tours on Fridays), 50 yards away, are the former Stables and Coach House.
They have been beautifully converted with flair into two good cottages, each with its own small patio and grassy area (table/chairs) overlooking the walled garden.
Inside the walled garden are beautifully kept allotments, fruit trees and a fascinating greenhouse, tended by the resident gardener, one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable you can meet.
Over Whitsun Bank Holiday week in May, a church fête and other charity events and the Nat.
Garden Scheme are held at Cadhay and the walled garden is open over August Bank Holiday, when a section of the garden is roped off for your privacy.
