This has to be one of the loveliest areas of Devon to visit, rich in green fields, woodland, rolling hills and cider orchards. The opportunity to free yourself from the constraints of a car is a real advantage here, where the village pub and train station are all within walking distance. Apple Cottage, one of two beautifully appointed, eco-friendly, rustic cob and stone barn conversions, the other being Plum Cottage, lie just outside of the pretty village of Colebrooke in the heart of the Devonshire countryside. Newly refurbished to a high standard the cottage uses an Air Source heat pump to provide both water and heating and the owners are keen to promote a green lifestyle providing guests with eco friendly cleaning products to use during their stay. Apple Cottage sits in the grounds of the owner's Farm, surrounded by fields and overlooking a cider orchard.
