FROM JOURNALISTS STAYING AT YAPHAM

KIDDERMINSTER SHUTTLE - NOV 2009

Seek stunning, rugged coastline none of it overrun with tourists. One such corner is the Hartland Peninsula, an ideal spot to base yourself and visit its gems. Yapham Cottages offers cosy cottages and a clotted cream tea awaits you on arrival, a nice touch that immediately makes you feel at home.

READING EVENING POST by Hilary Scott

The award- winning Yapham Cottages on the Hartland Peninsula in Devon nestle cosily into the beautiful and rugged landscape - and everything about the cottages is cosy.......The cottages' owners supply you with a delicious Devon cream tea and the meal we had booked was stunning.

In Sept, TESCO magazine and TESCO on-line ran a feature on a year in the life of a typicaL holiday cottage in Devon and SHIPLOAD Cottage was chosen. Here is some of the article

..the setting for our wedding night was so romantic. Shipload cottage is picture perfect, idyllic, so quiet and secluded.

.. for the last six years we've had our main fortnight's holiday at this great cottage  .. the perfect base for getting out and about with our two sons.

a group of us booked all the cottages for New Year. We all lead pretty hectic lives so it was bliss to leave the stresses of the city behind...

TESCO - SEPT 

'Must be one of the most beautiful corners of England, let alone Devon. I would recommend Yapham Coastal Cottages as a base in that Devonian Heaven for anyone who is wise enough to choose it'

It is a very special place here at Yapham.I am sure we will be back.

The Hartland area is slightly isolated from the frantic tourist fray and that is definitely a plus point.... The cottage had all the usual mod-cons, but frankly it was the cream tea that was attracting most of my attention. With  homemade scones produced that day, they just had to be the best I've ever tasted, coupled with local jams made on a nearby farm it was the perfect start to a perfect break...

“No hesitation here in giving Yapham the 'Best of British' seal of approval.... we would be back at the drop of a Panama!
