Larkshayes Cottages

About Larkshayes Cottages

Larkshayes Cottages offers a beautiful selection of sleek holiday homes in picturesque South Devon. Part of the Daisy Door Cottage Style Collection, these restored buildings were converted from historic stables into modern and cosy cottages, the perfect place to relax and unwind on your rural retreat.

Peacefully tucked away in the Devonshire countryside, these cottages are a haven of pure tranquillity. The site provides each lodge with a complimentary welcome pack, including tea, coffee, milk and biscuits for your mid-morning tea-break, and a bottle of wine so you can unwind in the evening as you take in the glorious surroundings of the Blackdown Hills. Guests are welcomed to use the facilities of the nearby sister park, Andrewshayes – these comprise of a well-stocked bar serving drinks aplenty, a soft play area and outdoor playground for the little ones, and a covered heated pool so you can swim whatever the weather!

These lodges are a perfect balance of cosy and sleek, all carefully converted and beautifully furnished into a charming home away from home. For a romantic retreat, we love the Otter Cottage, a quaint space for two with a stylish interior and French doors leading out to a beautiful veranda, decked out with your own private hot tub. There is even an electric woodburning stove so you can warm up after a day of exploring! For larger parties, the Corry Brook Cottage sleeps up to six guests, offering a spacious living area and a generous veranda, with comfortable outdoor seating and stunning views from your sunken hot tub.

Larkshayes Cottages is an ideal base to explore the Devonshire countryside, surrounded by unspoilt rural scenery and offering a wide variety of walks, hikes and biking routes. The site is just a short twenty-minute drive from the Jurassic Coast - be sure to take a stroll along the coastline and enjoy the rolling beaches and bustling seaside towns. A little further along is the historical cathedral city of Exeter, a vibrant place with heritage aplenty and boundless activities to enjoy.

Larkshayes Cottages Reviews

"Quality accommodation, exceptional inside and out, hot tub an absolute bonus."

Brendan - Aug 2020

"Stunning views, peaceful, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, hot tub, everything we wanted and more, wished we had stayed longer!"

Debbie - Jul 2020

"Fantastic lodge, hot tub and surroundings"

Nicola - Jul 2020

"Brilliant holiday brilliant cottage lovely owners would defiantly return for another visit in future."

Shane - Feb 2020

"Hope to have a return visit had a great time"

Mark - Feb 2020

"On arrival we were greeted by Caroline, who gave us a quick tour. The cottage was very warm and cosy, with underfloor heating. We each had a dressing gown and slippers, perfect for going to and fro the hot tub. The hot tub was ready to use when we arrived, which was perfect after our journey.
Larkshayes cottages are a little touch of heaven."

Verified Guest - Jan 2020

"100% everything was perfect. Highly recommened. Would not hesitate to book again.
Only thing that would help is better directions i.e. a map or OS grid reference, rather than the written directions as they assume you are coming in from one direction only."

Gillian - Oct 2019

"Highly recommended for a quiet weekend away. Perfect location to relax"

David - Oct 2019

"On arrival we were greeted by Caroline and first impressions were great. We stayed in otter cottage and the cottage was clean and tidy. The owners have thought of everything, the kitchen is well equipped and includes a dishwasher and washing machine which were a god send and there was a bottle of prosecco in the fridge which was a lovely surprise. The cottage has 2 smart TVs with access to Netflix etc which was very handy as it rained a lot during our stay so was nice to be able to catch up on some box sets in our free time. Hot tub was great and very big compared to others places we have stayed. The only thing that would of been handy is an ironing board in the lodge but in the welcome book it states that there is one available on request. The cottage is kind of in the middle of no where which on one hand was nice but took a while to get anywhere as there is only country lanes and a lot of them are very tight so be careful and you definitely need a sat nav for getting around. Most of the beaches we visited were pebble. Exeter 30-40 mins away and a nice day out.
Our only criticism and this does not reflect on the owners or the cottage as it is in the hands of nature but whilst we stayed there was what can only be described as an infestation of Crane flies/daddy long legs!! It felt like it was part of the biblical 10 plagues of Egypt! It must of been breeding season for them and giving note to the fact that we were staying on a working farm there is not a lot we could do and accepted it for what it was but we were unable to keep the windows and doors open which lead to a lot of stuffiness inside and they were attracted to the hot tub when we were using it which was annoying. However, as mentioned this has no reflection on the owners or lodge.
Overall a lovely stay and nice break away!"

Laura - Sep 2019

"Lovely, quaint cottage with all the amenities you need. Very clean and tidy. Spacious and ideal size for our break away."

Kay - Sep 2019

"Fantastic location, peaceful and quiet. Close enough to beaches and attractions to keep the kids happy in the car. Beautiful cottage, a real home from home. The hot tub was a lovely way to relax at the end of the day."

Chris - Sep 2019

"Actually felt like we had had a proper holiday, so relaxing."

Lesley - Aug 2019

"Couldn't fault the accommodation and facilities."

Dale - Aug 2019

"We spend a lovely week at Yarty cottage. The hot tub was great, our children loved it. The views were breathtaking and we loved being greeted by the cows in the field everyday. The personal touches were very thoughtful. It was so relaxing and we would recommend it 100% "

Samantha - Aug 2019

"Absolutely amazing stay at Larkshayes cottages. Caroline & Peter are very welcoming. The location is beautiful! Would definitely recommend to anyone look for a real break and wind down! Definitely want to return!"

Sophie - Jun 2019

David - Oct 2018

"Just perfect. Didnt want to leave. Lovely for a relaxing weekend."

Leah - Sep 2018

"We first stayed at Yarty cottage 4 years ago and have just returned from our second stay. We were happy to find it just as we remembered. We had a lovely stay once again, peaceful and relaxing with outstanding views, but sadly the week flew by rather too quickly. I’m sure we will be planning another stay in the future."

Dawn - May 2022

"Just arrived back after a fantastic stay in Otter Cottage. Peter and Caroline, the owners, were very welcoming and introduced us to the place and told us everything we needed to know. In the lodge there was an information book which told us everything we needed to know about the local area. The accommodation was perfect, it was clean, comfy and cosy. The Hot tub was a treat and the views were lovely, it was really quiet and peaceful. Overall a fantastic stay and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Would highly recommend staying here and would return."
