Pear Tree Cottage

Pear Tree Cottage forms part of a small cluster of converted barns at Higher Holcombe Farm, set within a lush valley that opens towards Lyme Bay. The position delivers far-reaching views across the water to Exmouth and Dawlish, while the tors of Dartmoor appear on the horizon on clearer days. Private farm tracks connect straight to public footpaths, allowing walks to the coast or inland without needing to drive.

The cottage itself suits small groups or families looking for straightforward self-catering accommodation. Downstairs, an open-plan living area includes a lounge with comfortable seating, a dining space, and a kitchen equipped for everyday cooking. Upstairs, reached by a staircase, are two bedrooms – one with a double bed and the other with twin beds – along with a bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower.

Outside, each courtyard cottage has its own secluded patio, screened for privacy and positioned to catch the evening light over the Jurassic Coast. The surrounding farmland attracts a range of birds, from house martins and swallows to buzzards and kestrels, adding to the sense of seclusion.

Teignmouth lies a short drive away, offering a long sandy beach, a Victorian pier, and a working harbour. The town provides everyday shops, cafes, and restaurants serving local seafood. A passenger ferry crosses the estuary to Shaldon, where narrow streets lead to another beach and riverside paths. For longer outings, the open moorland of Dartmoor and the cathedral city of Exeter remain within easy reach.

The cottages at Higher Holcombe Farm rate highly with many reviews, with guests often noting the well-maintained interiors, welcoming host, and the balance of quiet rural surroundings with convenient access to the coast.
