“Wonderful place for a short Fall/Winter getaway!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2010

My husband, a couple of friends and I stayed at the smaller of the cottages two weeks ago. We had traveled to England by the Queen Mary 2 and I wanted to show my husband the beauties of rural England as he had never been. We couldn't have chosen a more beautiful location than Devon and a nicer cottage than Yapham. We especially appreciated Jane's delicious scones with the pots of jam and clotted cream the evening we arrived as we had been traveling since 6 a.m. Although the weather was stormy, the cottage with its thick stone walls and good central heating was cozy. The kitchen was very well equipped, the bedrooms comfortable; our friends were especially happy to see that they had an en suite. We were pleased to have Scrabble and a Junior Trivial Pursuit to while away the evenings. During the day we put waterproof outdoor gear on and tramped around the coastline, visited Tintagel and Clovelly. It was wonderful; the weather didn't bother us a bit and it was lovely not having to fight crowds at Tintagel.

One word of caution: restaurants are difficult to find open at this time of year and we would advise you to go farther afield than Hartland if you are looking for an evening meal. Our takeway fish and chips were terrible (my husband actually got ill on them) although Jane assured us that something must have been wrong that night because the takeaway shop is usually very good.

“spectacular coastline meets paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2010

Yapham is a perfect place for people trying to find some silence and rest. Nevertheless there is plenty to see and to do. The coast offers unextpected views and you learn a lot about the strength of nature. And when you come back to the cottage, you will find a comfortabel place. We stayed at Barley Cottage for two weeks and every single day was a treat. Jane and Jimmy know how to make people feel happy.
For us it was a privilege to get the chance of sharing two weeks with them on their estate.

If you are looking for a total get away from it all break then this is exactly what you will get, off the beaten track, beautifully presented accomodation, the owners have thought of everything. Good location for exploring North Devon and Cornwall.

“An Autumn Delight!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2009

We were looking for somewhere a little off the beaten track to escape for a while and someone recommended we take a look at Yapham Cottages in North Devon, the website offered rugged stone cottages in what looked to be a beautiful area...we were not disappointed when we arrived! homemade scones greeting us and advice/recommendations of what we could do during our stay from friendly hosts Jane and Jimmy Young. The cottage was delightful and the scenery beautiful in the autumn- perfect for a long walk finished off with a drink by the fire in the local pub. We would totally encourage people to go to Yapham if they want a break from the norm, good value for money too...go go go!!

“Outstanding position with beautiful and tranquil surroundings.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2009

Having recently returned from yet another visit to Yapham cottages, we can only say that after each visit we are very sorry to leave. On every journey down to Yapham we eagerly anticipate our arrival, knowing that there will be something new awaiting us. We have yet to be disappointed. The owners, Jane and Jimmy Young make everyone so welcome and they are constantly improving their excellent accommodation. They are a fund of knowledge about the area and are always willing to discuss potential places of interest. In fact, they never stand still, and are always exploring more potential places to visit.
