Festive Swimming

All around the coastline people celebrate Christmas time with a dip in the sea. Fancy it yourselves…

The costume choices are endless too, from traditional Santa hats and Christmas jumpers to crowd-shockingly small swimming trunks and mankinis!

Once you’ve been in the sea head back to Apple Mill or Burrows, jump in the hot tub (hot chocolate or fizz is optional) warm-up, and get ready for a relaxing Christmas Day accompanied by the wood burner and a large social open plan kitchen, dining area, and living room.

Christmas 2021 is booked for both Apple Mill and Burrows at Pebblebed Cottages; we are now taking 2022 Christmas bookings.

Book yourself with a party of up to 6, 8 or 14 in for your luxury self-catered holiday in Devon. Good friends, great things to do and a fabulous holiday.

We have just come back from a stay at Pebblebed Cottage. We rented both Apple Mill and Burrows, both barns are on the... same farm in Venn Ottery, East Devon and conveniently located in the countryside and close to the coast. We enjoyed stargazing in the hot tubs and cozy afternoons by the wood burners - both a real treat. Amazing bedding and spacious rooms. Not a detail is forgotten. Thank you very much Sarah!read more

We took all of the rooms at Pebblebed Cottages as we were part of a wedding party. It's a lovely quiet location... although not far from the sea and surrounding towns.The accommodation was superb. Privacy if you want it, though the two cottages are side by side, so socialising was very easy. All of the facilities you would expect, plus a woodburner and even a hot tub.Sarah who looks after things is on hand if you need anything, although not at all intrusive. Very friendly and super efficient.read more

Just last week a group of us stayed at The Burrows. The space was just as described and exceeded our expectations. The... cottage was extremely clean, comfortable, spacious and in a beautiful private setting. Use of the hot tub was a luxury! It had everything we needed and more, with Richard and Sarah being excellent hosts. We would definitely stay again!read more

Another dreamy stay at Burrows! Truly the only place I can ever feel peaceful. Burrows really is a special cottage, it... has a big heart and you feel at home as soon as you open its beautiful white doors. If the hustle and bustle of your daily life is grinding you down, this is the place to be! A true diamond in glorious Devon. Thank you for another wonderful stay Sarah.xread more
