Cheristow Farm Cottages

We’ve spent a wonderful stay with our kids at Cheristow Cottages, a superb place! It’s peaceful, lovely, cosy, calm and an extremely well equipped cottage. There’s even a sauna and a hot tub. The hosting family is very nice and happy to take the kids feeding the animals on the farm, a precious experience for the kids. We’ve got very useful tips for sandy beaches and places to visit. Highly recommended!

We recently spent a wonderful week in the Granary with our 5 and 3 year old children. Cheristow is located in a beautiful and unspoilt corner of North Devon, a great place to get away from it all. What sets Cheristow apart from typical self-catering cottages is how engaging it is for children. Our children loved feeding the chickens, ducks and piglets with Annie each day as well as being able to play with other children on the play equipment in the safety of the enclosed field. They were very sad to come home, a sure sign of a very happy holiday.

We had a totally relaxing stay in the Milking Parlour cottage - it was very well equipped, really clean and super cosy. The play area was great for the kids and the view of the sea from the patio was very pretty. Annie and her family made us feel very welcome and the children enjoyed feeding the animals and eating fresh eggs for breakfast! We did some lovely walks and enjoyed the stunning views whilst stopping off for a drink at the Wreckers Retreat. All in all, we would highly recommend.

We had such a fantastic time at Cheristow. Annie and Vicky were great hosts and on hand for any queries about the area- as well as daily chicken feeding which our son loved. Such a special spot looking down to the sea. We will definitely be back. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful stay at The Granary with our two year old. Annie and her family were so welcoming. We loved their warm relaxed atmosphere and the chicken feeding was a huge hit with our son as was the playground and lovely outdoor space. We had an excellent social time with other guests, but there was also plenty of privacy and tranquil moments gazing over the rolling fields towards the sea. The cottage was well equipped and spacious. We enjoyed BBQs and log fires (British weather). The local area has many beautiful walks and fab beaches.

Before arrival we, 4 adults, had clear details about Covid-19 precautions which were made for our safety & similar details to help us to protect the owners. We were so glad we chose this cottage which was comfortable, well equipped, run by a large, friendly family who thought of everything to help make the most of our holiday! We enjoyed walks along the stunning SW Coast Path, visits to local towns & golf at Bude, + a lesson on animal husbandry! We were given excellent ideas for eating out & were sorry to leave such a charming cottage. PS. Plenty for children to enjoy on the farm too!

Cheristow cottages are perfect for a relaxed family holiday. Our three kids enjoyed the large outside play area and feeding the animals in the morning. The kitchen is very well equipped for home cooking. The coastline is stunning and there ware lots of good walks closeby as well as nice beaches. Our hosts were very friendly and did everything to make us feel welcome starting from home made scones to supplies for a cosy fire in the evening. We would very much recommend these cottages.

We had a lovely second stay at Cheristow with a group of friends last weekend, and will most certainly return again (thinking of making it an annual holiday). It is a wonderfully idyllic setting (Hartland Abbey & the beach a short stroll), and the perfect location for families, since the collection of six small cottages allows for privacy amidst community. The kids really enjoyed playing on the wooden play structure & in the sand pit & feeding the chickens, ducks & pigs in the morning and the adults enjoyed the hot tub & sauna in the evening! Running out of room. Thanks, Annie, Vicky & Quentin

Me, my husband and our German Shepard had an absolutely fantastic stay in these lovely cottages. Annie and her husband was the kindest and most helpful hosts and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The scones and clotted cream as a welcome made the start feel so special. It is so easy to walk to town and around. We did some stunning walks and they even drove us to make certain journey easier. Got to say hi to their beautiful pigs and ended the nights with hot sauna, jacuzzi and wine by the fireplace. An absolute blizz. Looking forward to go back!

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay for 5 nights in April with one of the warmest welcomes we have ever received. Still warm fresh baked scones and clotted cream, fresh cut flowers and Annie was most helpful in recommending places to visit and what do do. The cottages were stunning and it was a truly blissful stay in a beautiful part of Devon. Myself, my 6 months pregnant girlfriend and Springer Spaniel will certainly be back! We can't recommend it enough.

Our stay at the Milky Parlour was delightful! We were warmly welcomed by Annie who took her time to recommend some places for us to visit. The sitting room is very cosy and warm, with its log fire, the bedrooms very comfortable. There is a terrace overlooking the endless garden that, if you are lucky, will offer you a breathtaking view of the sunset. We had such a lovely time walking along the coastline and saw stunning places thanks to Annie’s great knowledge of the area. We cannot wait to come back!
