Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"Very happy with location welcome and facilities."
Well appointed warm and comfortable. Will book again.

"Lovely cottage, was so quiet."
It is very rural though , you have to drive everywhere and the lanes are all single so it’s a bit nerve racking sometimes. We found it impossible to walk to the nearest pub as it was too far and with the single tracks did not feel safe.

"The Cider Barn is a fabulous cottage, attached to the owners' property one side and to another holiday home the other side."
It feels quiet and not overlooked and the thick stone walls mean that it is very quiet. The cottage is so quaint and has all the amenities you'd need, indeed most things seem brand new. It was really useful having the washing machine/dryer as the weather wasn't kind to us. We were there a week and the whole time we felt relaxed and happy. The local pub is an easy 20 minute walk and serves excellent food. We liked how easy it was to get to the place from the motorway/major roads and then the simplicity of travelling to the local beaches. We would have liked a folder of the local beaches, where to park, etc as we didn't know the local area. That said, Julie and Phil were great hosts with advice, when we asked them. We liked the fact that there was plenty of space for the 4 of us - wardrobes and drawers in both bedrooms, plenty of space in the kitchen area and it was lovely to be able to 'move in' for the week and not live out of suitcases, which you have to do with smaller apartments. The cottage does not have a grass area - just the picnic bench area shown on the photos but you can roam the farm and there is a swing/slide area. Overall, we were delighted with the accommodation, the area and facilities nearby. A great place for a week of relaxation and sunshine. The kids are pleading for us to rebook for next year!

"The Cider Barn is very comfortable and well laid out."
The facilities were very good, Julie and Phil seem to have thought of everything to welcome us and make our stay memorable. We had torrential rain most of the week and so we were limited as to where to go. We had planned on going to the local nature reserves but Dawlish in particular, was affected by flooding. We would highly recommend Shaldon Zoo - rare breeds. The staff are very helpful and the highlight was seeing the Margay and her kitten. Powderham Castle is a must if you have children. Jan & Co.

"Julie and Phil, the owners, were welcoming and helpful."
We settled into this quiet and remote part of Devon very quickly and enjoyed a relaxing two week October stay. The property is on a narrow lane with almost no passing traffic and suffers with little or no light or noise pollution. Peaceful, as we like it. Broadband wifi is available but due to bandwidth limitations is very unreliable including for catch-up TV. Probably not unusual in a location like this but a nuisance if you rely on the internet whilst away. We were mostly without a Vodafone signal too. Internet and phone connections apart we had a great stay and highly recommend the Cider Barn.

The cottage was beautiful, clean and cosy with everything needed for a stay. The outside space with table and chairs would be lovely in the summer and parking was good. The owner's were welcoming and friendly without being intrusive even going as far as to phone us to say that the main road was closed due to an accident but to ignore the signs because the accident was beyond the entrance to the cottage. We hope to return. We are used to one lane roads but a warning in the info of the one lane road with bends leading from the main road to the cottage might be helpful to someone who isn't aware of how they work and what to do if you meet someone coming the opposite way.

This attractive barn conversion is attached to the owners farmhouse on their 100 acre Devon farm in a rural village close to the beaches of Teignmouth and Shaldon.
This is an ideal cottage for couples, friends or families, with woodland play areas with swings and a fort and a quiet countryside setting, and is set amongst green meadows.
Guests are welcome to wander the farm to explore woodland paths, ripe apple orchards, friendly duck ponds and fields where hens, sheep and cows graze happily.
This attractive cottage has a spacious, open plan living area, which looks out across an attractive courtyard through two large arched windows which give a sense of light and space ensuring that families can relax together, cook together and eat together at all times.
The charming bedrooms have TVs and views across to the fields and hills.
There is a patio garden at the front of the cottage ideal for sun worshipping and enjoying the countryside views.
Just a mile down the road is the friendly village pub, The Elizabethan, which won a Taste of the West award in 2015 and has its very own Gelato ice cream maker!
The cottage is just 3.5 miles from Teignmouth, a popular seaside town with plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as the beach, harbour and handsome pier.
There are many family activities to enjoy as well, including an outdoor swimming pool, skatepark, adventure golf and two miles of sandy beaches.
Wander along the splendid promenade to the working port on the river side of town, where you will see plenty of ships coming and going in this fast-flowing estuary current.
Looking across the River Teign you can see the charming small regency town of Shaldon, home to the Shaldon Wildlife Trust's breeding centre for rare mammals, along with the well-known beach at Ness Cove, reached through a genuine smugglers' tunnel.
Down the coast is the English Riviera, with its micro-climate, tall palm trees, well laid-out municipal gardens and large promenade, lined with ice cream shops and cafes.
Torquay is the birthplace of Agatha Christie and so there are plenty of historic reminders of the author, plus this seaside town also provided the inspiration for the classic British comedy Fawlty Towers.
Paignton, which has a fabulous zoo and a steam train taking you to the River Dart, is also another day's outing.
Theres plenty to see and do whilst staying at this charming cottage.
