“Jane & Andy were excellent hosts and we would love to go back”

- Mrs Radford-king, July 2019
“An ideal place for a quiet, peaceful holiday.”

The owners were lovely - helpful & friendly. We plan to return in the future

- Mrs Sheardown, June 2019
“The owners are wonderful We are carers for a young man with special needs and they let him feed the sheep each morning and night and fill the water troughs up.”

He loved it and so did we.The house had everything we needed.Yes it is off the beaten track and we needed the car but it all added to the charm.The local shopping centre wasn’t far away.And the village shop two mins up the road.It was a long drive as we live in Yorkshire but worth it..

- Mr Naylor, May 2019
“We had a great week staying at the Milk Shed.”

The house and garden are lovely - we especially enjoyed feeding the lambs. It’s also ideal for dog owners. Jayne and Andy made us really welcome. Would definitely recommend!

- Mrs Townsend, April 2019
“To stay at The Milk Shed is charming.”

The fresh coffee, bread, eggs and slices of cake were a lovely addition to the warm welcome we received from the owners on our arrival. The Milk Shed is ideally situated for exploring the East Devon countryside and the coast. If you are looking for a "get away from it all" relaxing holiday then this is the place; we would not hesitate in recommending this delightful holiday cottage.

- Mr Daisy, March 2019
“We had an amazing holiday at the milk shed, the owners are so hospitable.”

We were made tea and coffee on arrival and supplied with fresh home made bread, scones and jam and also freshly laid eggs from the chickens. The milk shed is extremely comfortable and has all the items needed for home from home. The outside space for children is brilliant and keeps them entertained. The sheep and the chickens are an added bonus and we were fortunate to be able to look after them. I absolutely totally recommend a holiday at this magnificent place.

- Mrs Simpson, October 2018
“Loved the milk shed nice & cosy, but quite remote if like facilities, ok for us though ,our sat nab took us the wrong way ,all round houses on all the single track roads to get there, the local community shop is handy & well stocked, Jayne &hubby helpful & friendly.”

Also the sheep said hello every time we came drove in. Would reccomend again. Linda & Brian.

- Mrs Sellwood, October 2018
“The cottage was equipped to very high standards, and was very comfortable.”

Very nice owners to deal with.

- Mrs Attwood, September 2018
“Just returned from the most wonderful stay at The Milk Shed.”

Jayne and Andy made us feel so very welcome from the moment we arrived with a hot drink, home made cake and even ice creams for our children. The accommodation was spotless and very well equipped and in our opinion perfectly located to explore many attractions for a super holiday. We loved it and hope to return soon.

- Mrs Jackson, August 2018
“Lovely cottage and very kind and helpful hosts.”

Drinks and home made cake on arrival, home made bread (which was delicious!) And their own free range eggs too. All just perfect.

- Mrs Cameron, August 2018
“There very welcoming people in spite of being a very busy couple,and we would love to go back there in the future!”

- Mr Griffith, June 2018
“Lovely little milk shed which was spotless and very nicely presented with comfy beds and all kitchen requirements, laundry in the main house.”

The owners were away and Christine a friend was left in charge. She was delightful and extremely helpful with suggestions of where to eat in the evening etc.Fresh eggs, milk ,bread and scones a lovely bonus. We were however disappointed with the description of dog walks from the property. This consisted of any one of four fairly busy lanes with high hedgerows keeping the dog on a short lead. Or a short walk up to a farmers field which was ready for harvesting. We would also have preferred to have the garden adjacent to the rental accommodation. But am I being too fussy?? Overall we really enjoyed our short break and would recommend a stay here. Anne F

- Mrs Farrell, June 2018

Open-sided games barn (table tennis, table football).

Dogs strictly to be kept on leads in grounds due to livestock.

Inside, smart and cosy with original and quirky touches.

Two bedrooms - a double (5' bed), and one with two singles; smart shower-room (suite).

Boot/utility room (washing machine, freezer) across the courtyard.

A super, friendly base for touring this interesting and diverse area of east Devon. Plymtree: small village (good pub, church, community shop) amidst rolling farmland, between Cullompton, 5 miles, and Honiton, 8.

About the location

PLYMTREE

Honiton 8 miles; Tiverton 11 miles; Sidmouth 13 miles.

Plymtree is a delightful village in East Devon with plenty to offer it’s visitors. Lying in the valley of the River Culm the village is surrounded by rolling Devon hills, green wooded valleys and scattered farming villages. Plymtree is home to a local pub, The Blacksmith Arms, along with additional village pubs within two miles serving good food. Also of interest is the community shop, run by volunteers and the historic parish church of St John the Baptist. The church itself dates back to the 14th century and of great interest is the 15th century addition, the painted rood screen. In the churchyard gaze at the ancient Yew Tree, thought to be over 1100 years old and the inspiration for the village’s name. Plymtree is only a short drive from the dramatic 20 mile stretch of Jurassic Coast, England’s first natural World Heritage Site. Resorts such as Seaton, Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth are found along this stretch of coastline, and all have plenty to occupy their visitors. An easy drive from Plymtree is the cathedral city of Exeter with plenty of large shops, a wealth of museums, a theatre and many fabulous restaurants. Plymtree is also close to the rugged and unspoilt expanse of Exmoor National Park as well as the tranquil and beautiful Blackdown Hills (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).
