Mazzard Farm Cottages

We stayed in Bramley Cottage at Mazzard Farm ... and we loved every minute of it! The cottage was comfortable and well-equipped. We particularly liked the fact that any baby/toddler equipment we required was also provided. The cottage grounds are lovely and peaceful, surrounded by countryside. Our son really enjoyed the play equipment on site such as a the trampoline, scooters and the football net, and it was nice for him to see the goats and chickens too. The open courtyard in the middle of the cottages made for a nice, community feel and was a great space for the children to play outside.

As a retired couple we enjoyed our stay in the comfortable well equipped Bramley cottage in peaceful rural surroundings mid May before school holidays began. The owners welcomed us with scones for tea and supplied details of all local attractions and eating places. We found plenty to interest us in the village of Ottery and local seaside towns. Devon lanes were filled with wild flowers, but are generally narrow. It was a refreshing short break.

Loved our stay here! So quiet and so well catered for. There is a room on site where you can help yourself to croissants, fresh apple juice from their own orchard! Games galore available and just a beautifully thought out accommodation. So much information available from hosts if required so no forward planning required as they have done all the hard work and sharing of extensive local knowledge! Thank you 🙏

We had a wonderful stay at Mazzard Farm, Ruud and Jacqueline are fantastic hosts and looked after us very well. The grounds are stunning with lovely spaces for children to play and explore, although the star attraction for our 3-year-old was undoubtedly Rory the (very patient) dog. There is plenty to see and do within reasonable driving distance of the cottages, with the Donkey Sanctuary, Sidmouth beach and Pecorama being just a few of our favourites. We would certainly recommend this as a lovely place for a holiday!

We had a wonderful stay at Mazzards farm. There was loads for the children to explore, from woods, orchards and playground. And an Aladdin's cave of toys, bikes and books to play with. All three generations enjoyed the comfy beds and clean, spacious accommodation. It was a thoroughly enjoyable stay in the beautiful Devon countryside.

Great place. Well run. super friendly. Electric car charger! Amazing gardens...

Situated in the bottom of a wooded valley, Mazzard Farm is a special place, particularly for families. Lots of things for children to do on site and plenty of places nearby to visit. Only 6 miles to the coast at Sidmouth! These spacious, well-appointed cottages exude rustic charm, but have many modern conveniences.

Great place in a lovely setting. The owners are helpful and friendly and they offered us lovely scones and cream and jam on arrival. The cottage was spacious and homely and our toddler loved the garden, the goats, chickens & toys. We enjoyed some fun days at the beach in Sidmouth, Branscombe and Beer, which are just a short drive. Highly recommended!

This was our 3rd stay at the wonderful Mazzard Farm. Paradise for kids, relaxing for adults. Near enough to the town and beaches to be able to get out and about easily, but also feels like you’re miles from anywhere. We definitely recommend for anyone with little ones who love open spaces!

We stayed in Mazzard farm in the last week of August 2019 with our two yound children (4 &6) and grand parents. We had a great time in this quiet location, far from any noisy urban environment. The weather was good so we had BBQ and watch the stars. Lovely garden with great tasty apples, for the pigs too. The children loved it and it was a pleasure to walk around discovering all the secrets of the valley.

Our family stayed in Medlar Cottage for a long weekend in January 2015 with our two year old daughter and could not fault Mazzard Farm. The grounds are perfect for exploring with little ones and the cottages are well stocked with everything you could need, including the necessary cots, monitors, high chairs and toys which toddlers require! Nearby Ottery St. Mary has plenty of lovely foodie shops, perfect for buying local produce to cook and enjoy back in front of the log burner in our cottage. We are certainly planning to return next year and would highly recommend.

A really wonderful stay - very welcoming hosts, beautiful grounds and splendid accommodation. It was our first holiday with a new baby and we could not have been better catered for. We hope to return one day; highly recommended.
