The Experience
Half way up East Hill, are 17 acres of old apple farm. Among hens, farmhouse, gardens, play areas and a big communal courtyard with picnic tables are six cottages – heaven for kids. It’s pampering too, thanks to owner Jacqueline’s treatments: Indian head massages, Japanese facials, reflexology. Quarenden Cottage, the former apple store, is the largest in the row and all have a wood-burner apart from the one-bedroom cottage. They are light, bright and warm and best for families with young children.
Find open-plan kitchens with a cream tea waiting and comfortable bedrooms which fit under the eaves. The owners live in the farmhouse and Jacqueline makes marmalade, lemon curd, apple juice and fruit crumbles in season; you can also buy meat and vegetables from the farm shop nearby.
Choose from their great list of attractions: the Donkey Sanctuary, Crealy Adventure Park, the Jurassic Coast Hopper, or sign up to an on-site cookery or photography course.

We had a wonderful stay at Mazzard Farm, Ruud and Jacqueline are fantastic hosts and looked after us very well. The grounds are stunning with lovely spaces for children to play and explore, although the star attraction for our 3-year-old was undoubtedly Rory the (very patient) dog. There is plenty to see and do within reasonable driving distance of the cottages, with the Donkey Sanctuary, Sidmouth beach and Pecorama being just a few of our favourites. We would certainly recommend this as a lovely place for a holiday!

We had a wonderful stay at Mazzards farm. There was loads for the children to explore, from woods, orchards and playground. And an Aladdin's cave of toys, bikes and books to play with. All three generations enjoyed the comfy beds and clean, spacious accommodation. It was a thoroughly enjoyable stay in the beautiful Devon countryside.

Location
The neighbourhood
The countryside is very rural and filled with woods so the peace is absolute. You can walk to a farm shop at Coldharbour Farm in about 5-10 minutes along a lane with next to no traffic. They also run a field kitchen overlooking the valley and sell good food and alcohol. The nearest good restaurant is The Rusty Pig at Ottery St Mary, 4 miles away. The owners have written their own 'Rough Guide to East Devon' - very useful!

Introducing
Ruud Jansen Venneboer
Ruud and Jacqueline brought the apple farm in 2008 and developed the cottages from barns opposite the main farm house. They have goats, baby lambs in spring and hens in the orchard. They are passionate about recycling and renewable power - and welcoming guests of course.
Loved our stay here! So quiet and so well catered for. There is a room on site where you can help yourself to croissants, fresh apple juice from their own orchard! Games galore available and just a beautifully thought out accommodation. So much information available from hosts if required so no forward planning required as they have done all the hard work and sharing of extensive local knowledge! Thank you 🙏
