Apple Cottage may be deep in the heart of the Devon countryside. Still, it lies within easy reach of the little fishing villages, beaches, and resorts lining Devon and Dorset’s Jurassic Coast, including Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Beer, Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth, Seaton, and Exmouth.

Yarcombe village is a peaceful rural affair, with plenty of countryside walks down the deep Devon lanes and fields. You can also try your hand at trout fishing in the village and bring some home to barbecue.

The historic market town of Honiton bursts with antique shops, traditional dairies, bakers and tea rooms. A little further afield, explore Exeter and its magnificent cathedral, or hire bikes to cycle the Ship Canal towpath down to the coast at Dawlish. There’s first-class cricket at the County Ground in Taunton for sports lovers or a chance to see Premiership Rugby at Exeter Chiefs.
