This location is absolutely stunning if you like beautiful green fields that roll down to the coastal paths and cliff lines of the spectacular Devon coast. As well as lovely old stone buildings, farm animals, pets and a comfortable and cosy cottage. Wonderful! We really enjoyed our stay here. Thank you to the Herselman family.
We absolutely loved our stay at East Soar Farm. Lovely hosts and excellent location for a break away from our busy lives. The cottage had everything we needed to make our stay memorable and very relaxing. Thank you again.
Lovely stay at East Soar Farm. Great location, peaceful and lovely walk to South Sands along the coastal path. Cottage was exactly what we needed. Will definitely go back.
We had a wonderful time at East Soar farm. The kids enjoyed being surrounded by the animals and we did the splendid walk to Salcombe Beach and back. The apartment has just what you need in order to cook, sleep and shower and was very clean upon arrival. We felt very welcome and well taken care off.
A Perfect place to disappear for a while.Wild natural beauty on the doorstep. Fabulous accommodation and all the comforts you need. We took our three Grandchildren and we are all looking forward to returning soon…. Very friendly and welcoming hosts who have worked hard to make the Farm a superb success and focal point of excellence for every visitor staying or passing through! Thank you, All the very best!
We enjoyed 3 nights in this comfortable and homely cottage which adjoins the main farm house. Plenty of room for our family of four and everything in perfect working order and condition. Particularly enjoyed the wood burning stove! We were given a warm welcome by our hosts who were informative about our surroundings and always happy to help with our queries. The location is absolutely perfect for cliff walks and 2 minutes brings you to the coastal path and the most stunning views of the sparkling sea. We were blessed with sunny days which added to the breathtaking panorama. 45 minutes walk turning left along the coast brings you to South Sands and thereafter, North Sands and finally Salcombe itself which was heaving with visitors due to the Easter weekend and glorious weather. It was bliss to escape the hoards and return to our peaceful cottage. Would definitely return!
We had a fabulous weekend at East Soar! The cottage was cosy and comfortable and the location was perfect for exploring the coastline. Our children loved their time on the farm itself, exploring the fairy woods and playing with Winslow! We will definitely be returning! Thank you!
What a fabulous location, walks on the Coastal path to the beaches from the cottage, plenty of firewood, kitchen has everything you need and comfortable beds. Would highly recommend and hopefully we will be back again! Thank you for a wonderful stay.
We had a much needed break at this most beautiful farm. The owners and all their family including the animals welcomed us and provided a haven in Devon. We’ll be back.
An der wilden und wunderschönen Küste liegt das Ferienhaus auf der Farm der Besitzer direkt am Küstenpfad, auf dem man stundenlang die abwechslungsreiche Landschaft erkundet. Wir hatten tolle Tage! Die sehr netten Vermieter haben uns mit sebstgebackenem Schokokaden- und Karottenkuchen und mit frischen eigenen Eiern verwöhnt - lecker!-herzlichen Dank! - auch für die Sorge um unsere wirklich späte Ankunft! Gerne wieder!
We loved our 2 day stay - fabulous situation and great walks into Salcombe - accommodation was tasteful, relaxed and comfortable - perfect for our girly reunion .
Was amazed with the cottage it was very homely and just the right distance away from salcombe town! Lovely views and lovely people, will definitely be recommending
Very well equipped kitchen etc., comfy bed and great supply of logs for wood burner.
Not the most congenial host but made up for very friendly dogs and cat!
Perfect for walking the coastal path and walking to Salcombe.
Beautiful location and excellent hosts. We loved our stay here. Had thought it might get a bit chilly but the log fire and heaters made it toasty warm, even in the blustery weather. Everything you could need or want for a break from it all. Highly recommend.
We arrived at the cottage, carefully following the owners instructions. Whilst it was late and very dark, we didnt get lost! Set adjacent to the main farmhouse, the property was very welcoming with a large entrance hall with plenty of hooks and space for coats, boots etc. Into the main sitting room - a very effective log burner, sofa, dining table & chairs and suitably equipped kichen. Also a good size bedroom. Upstairs 2 further bedrooms - one big double with sea view and the other with bunk beds, plus a good size family bathroom inc shower over the bath. Whilst its the end of october, we were never cold with the use of bedroom heaters and log burner.. You could stay in winter. The star of stay has to be the location - set in beautiful countryside, close to the coastal path. Yes, the position is extremely rural and the access road is more suited to a 4x4, but you could do it in normal car if you are careful - we did. It's a dreamy South Devon holiday let with helpful owners who couldnt do enough for us! And thank you for the fresh eggs for our breakfast, which in warmer months, we would have eaten on the courtyard. Almost forgot to tell you about the donkeys, white horse, sheep, pretty cats and friendly golden retrievers.... Happy memories
The house is in one of the most beautiful locations in the country. The countryside around the property is absolutely stunning. The most wonderful walks from the door. The farmer and his wife and family were extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful and couldn't have been nicer. They were extremely tolerant of our 6 month old labrador puppy. The farm is a wonderful place for children as there are lots of animals and it is all extremely neat and tidy. The cottage is simple but very comfortable and well equipped. My only negative comment would be that there were no side lights in the sitting room. The bed was really comfortable and the whole cottage felt very clean. Thank you to the Herselmans for a wonderful stay.
The walks from a east soar and the surrounding countryside and coast path are beautiful. The peregrine can be seen on the headlands. The swimming in the coves and beaches perfect. The place is well set up and enjoyed a lovely cosy night with the wood burner going. Lovely hosts and animals at the farm. All in all a great trip and our dogs were welcomed which is always appreciated
