Spacious family friendly cottage on Cadhay estate

If you’re a family, group or couples looking to stay together for a short self catering break, then the Coach House is perfect. The ground floor is spacious with a well equipped kitchen/dining room and large lounge which has an extremely homely woodburner as the centerpiece. In the winter you can sit back and relax on our comfortable sofas with the woodburner roaring in the background. There are floor-to-ceiling windows with double French doors providing views and access to a front lawn. 

The Coach House is the largest of our three holiday cottages on the Cadhay Estate near Ottery St Mary, East Devon. It overlooks the main house, in the peace and tranquility of the countryside. The Coach House comfortably sleeps 6 in luxury within 1 twin room, 1 double room and 1 room which can be a super king double or a twin room. All 3 bedrooms are en suite and the cottage has a large yard next to it. All our holiday cottages exude history and luxury.

The Coach House is light, and very spacious, we’ve managed to retain many of its period features such as the exposed wooden beams upstairs and the old saddle racks. It is well furnished with some excellent antiques, interesting paintings, bright rugs and quality curtains.

If you’re looking for a relaxing self catering break in the beautiful East Devon countryside then the Coach House is ideal for you and your group. Alternatively there are plenty of more active pursuits locally such as horse riding, water sports, cycling, golf or fishing should you want a little more excitement. There are lots of local attractions to visit if you have children such as Wildwood Escot, the Donkey Sanctuary, Crealy or the many local beaches. There is also space for children to play right outside your cottage within the huge walled kitchen garden, access to a mown field for games, or play pooh sticks in the little stream opposite. 

Cadhay and the whole of East Devon provides you with many great walks, activities, eating places, pubs and attractions to visit with your group. You can explore the Otter Valley, get away for a long walk on the South West Coastal Path, indulge in a Devon cream tea, enjoy a leisurely pub lunch or just have a great day on the beach when the sun shines.

The Coach House is ideal for families or friends wanting a relaxing or active break in quiet and peaceful surroundings within the countryside and close to the coast and moors of Devon.

Reviews for The Coach House at Cadhay

Meet the owner

Rupert Thistlethwayte

The current owner is furniture maker Rupert Thistlethwayte, a direct descendent of the Pouletts whose coat of arms appear above the fireplaces. Over the past decade, he has restored Cadhay to its previous splendour and welcomed 100's of people to stay in his much loved Tudor Manor house or its nearby cottages. Rupert lives nearby on the estate with his partner Caroline and is usually there to greet you in person when you arrive and welcome you to the Cadhay estate. You'll often find Rupert working in the grounds with head gardener Dave and his able assistant Mike or ticking off tasks on a list of jobs given to him by Jayne the house manager. When he has time, Rupert makes beautiful bespoke modern furniture examples of which can be seen in most of our properties. Recently he's taken to electric mountain biking and loves discovering new routes in our stunning local area both in the countryside and along the coast. Rupert looks forward to sharing his wonderful estate with you.
