Just what we needed - a comfortable little cottage with two bedrooms, all clean, very handy for a short drive to Exeter. Parking right outside the cottage wasn't possible as there are many cars parked nearby, but we managed to find a space close by. Thanks for the flapjacks!

A lovely well thought out cottage that was designed with a visitor in mind. Well equipped but no clutter.
The owner was really prompt at responding to my queries and always answered in full.
As a single traveller I felt safe in the approach and once inside the property.

Lovely cottage
Cherry Tree cottage is lovely! Jacqui and Paul were such wonderful hosts and provided a cozy place to stay. They were so helpful with their knowledge of local places of interest for hiking, biking, and eating and so gracious in making me feel well taken care of. Really enjoyed getting to know them and the area.

Lovely Cottage
The cottage is well equipped and in a small village about 4 miles form Exeter. The bathroom had been renewed and was stunning. Jacqui was really helpful and gave us lots of tips which were invaluable.
The only slightly negative thing that we thought was that the kitchen is a bit "tired" and could do with some renovation.
Other than that, a very nice cottage.

Improvement needed.
It was a pleasant surprise to find the downstairs cloakroom. The dishwasher stank and it’s filter was full of waste food on arrival which I had to empty. The kitchen sink also stank with bits of food on the drain, the wooden surround was black mouldI feel no cleaning could have been carried out in these areas. There was a note to say that the sink overflow was blocked, why had it not been fixed. These finds did spoil our stay there as you wondered about the attention to detail.

Cosy, cute cottage!
We stayed here for three nights with our three-year-old son.
Jacqui and Paul were great owners - quick communication, thoughtful touches (stair gate, cuddly toys and scones on arrival!) and a well stocked house. It's a lovely cottage to use as a base for a break in Devon. I'd highly recommend it!

A sweet cottage in a good location for cycling and walking
Upon arrival the cottage appeared to be clean. Although upon further inspection it was obvious a more thorough clean was needed as there were lots of cobwebs on the ceilings and walls and a lot of dust on the staircase and light fittings. There are a few minor plumbing and maintenance issues that need to be addressed hence why we only gave 3 stars, this coupled with rusty garden furniture that either needs repainting or replacing. We feel this is constructive criticism which will help the owners enhance this lovely cottage.

Lovely cosy cottage in convenient location
The cottage was clean, nicely furnished and welcoming, with extra touches including toiletries, milk and other essentials on arrival as well as a delicious cream tea! The shower is lovely and the beds very comfortable. Jacqui and Paul were very friendly and helpful and there is a wealth of useful local information giving ideas for nice walks and places to visit. The local shop is also very handy just a few doors down.
The cottage is in a very handy position, with easy access to Exeter, Dartmoor and the coast. We particularly liked Topsham and Shaldon for great independent shops and waterside locations, Haldon Forest and Haytor for lovely walks with amazing views and Ashburton is a foodie's paradise - check out The Old Library for a fabulous brunch.
We had a slight issue checking in because the key safe code had been changed and I hadn't seen Jacqui's email telling me about this, but she answered her phone immediately and the problem was soon sorted. Our only negative was that there was quite a lot of noise in the street late at night on our first night, presumably from people leaving the pub a few doors away, but this only happened once. Apart from that we had a lovely time and wouldn't hesitate to return. Many thanks and we hope to be back :-)

Delightful Cherry Tree Cottage
We had a really delightful week staying in Cherry Tree Cottage. It is small but so comfortable and has all necessary amenities. It was very clean and Jacqui our host even provided a cream tea for us on our arrival! A perfect base for us to visit various friends in the area. The pub in the village is a must - we ate there three times in our week! The shop is open every day which is very handy.
I heartily recommend Cherry Tree Cottage

We had a brilliant 3 nights in Cherry Tree cottage- everything that you could think of was already thought of and provided by Jacqui, including some very yummy homemade cake that was just what was needed after traveling down! We were lucky enough to have the weather to sit out and enjoy the lovely garden, which was so peaceful and filled with fruit and flowers. The cottage itself had everything you needed,including some handy tupperware for a picnic! The shower was lovely,no constant fiddling to get the right temperature, and the bed was lovely and comfortable too-hard to leave in the mornings! Kennford is a great location to go to so many places and the info provided in the cottage was much appreciated to enjoy our break to the full. Everything was exactly as we would choose ourselves -if we could have taken the cottage home with us then we would have!Thanks again Jacqui and Paul for a lovely stay! Claire and Joe

The cottage is in perfect location for access to coast, moors and city. Beautifully designed and decorated. Very well equipped, everything that I needed was provided. The home made shortbread was a very welcome, unexpected extra.
it was perfectly clean throughout.
The stairs are picturesque but I found it quite difficult to get suitcase to upper floor and elderly people or those with a physical disability might find it difficult to go up and down them.
I have already recommended it to some friends

Spent a weekend there with my little daughter and my husband. On arrival we were welcomed with delicious cookies in the kitchen and very lovely letter from the owners. Jacqui (the landlady) was very helpful and gave us all information that we needed.The cottage is absolutely gorgeous, very tidy and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and very spacious. Also in the garden we had a selection of fresh herbs and strawberries which was lovely. The location is perfect. About 20 mins drive to Exeter and 40 mins to Plymouth so if you want to explore the area it couldn't be any better.
We are definitely coming back and I am sure that anyone who visits will be looking forward to staying at The Cherry Tree Cottage again!!
