About Crabtree Lodge

A pretty little 1930's inspired cottage on a hill at the heart of the Killerton Estate in Devon with beautiful views towards Ashclyst Forest.

Sitting on a country road, this former rector’s cottage is great for walkers and outdoor lovers, with its brilliant position on the Killerton Estate, but also close to the M5, making getting there and away really easy. Renovated to give a luxurious feel, this little lodge now sleeps 4, and has stunning parkland views.

Open the front door of this cottage, and you’ll be in the entrance hall, with a bespoke kitchen, separate dining room and cosy sitting room all off the hallway. There’s also a grand bathroom on the ground floor with a separate bath and shower. Head up the stairs to the two stunning bedrooms, one double and one twin (which can be made into a double on request). You’ll also find a separate WC. The upstairs bedrooms look out over the wonderful Killerton countryside and parkland. Outside there’s a small enclosed garden where you can enjoy the same wonderful countryside views.

The cottage sits on a country road on the Killerton Estate, right next door to Crabtree School House, another holiday cottage which sleeps 6. Both properties can be booked together if you’re travelling with a large family or group of friends. You’ll find the wonderful 18th-century Killerton House, shop and café just a 10 minute stroll away across the estate. Killerton itself offers 6,400 acres for you to explore, filled with miles of footpaths and cycle paths that cross historic parkland, formal gardens and a wider agricultural estate. You can hop on to the trails from the cottage doorstep, so it’s the perfect spot for outdoor lovers and walkers.

Once you’ve explored everything Killerton has to offer, then Broadclyst is the closest village to the cottage, where you’ll find a village shop, post office and pubs and restaurants. Beyond that, the vibrant and historic city of Exeter is just 20 minutes away by car with its bustling mix of independent and big name shops, bars, restaurants, pubs, cinemas and theatres. And if you’re keen to explore more of Devon, then why not head into the wilds of Dartmoor, or the beach at Exmouth or Sidmouth? And if you’re keen to explore more National Trust places, then head to Knightshayes, a Victorian country house.

About the Acorn rating

Back to top

To help find the best cottage for you, we have created our own quality rating system for our holiday cottages called the Acorn rating. Ranging from 1-5 Acorns, the rating gives you an indication of a property’s facilities, fixtures and fittings, with five being the highest quality level. The Acorn rating is not connected to any other industry rating system that may be used for holiday cottages and is only to be used as a guide that covers location, style of interior and the facilities you may be looking for. We do not set our cottage pricing based on the Acorn rating we have given a cottage as all our cottages are of an individual nature. Therefore, we recommend that all factors are considered when making your choice. In addition, some of our cottages are curated to be sympathetic to their time period. This means that they might not have all of the aspects of modern living, but impress in so many other ways.

1 Acorn: simple living accommodation with basic furniture and fixtures fit for purpose and clean. Running water and a toilet are provided. There could be some limitations to heating and washing facilities – details of these will be stated clearly on the cottage's webpage. Bedding, linen and towels are supplied with a few exceptions, which are again clearly stated). Facilities for basic catering and living are provided. In general, a 1 Acorn cottage does not have WiFi.

2 Acorn: a mid-quality range of furniture and fittings. Bathroom facilities are basic or there may be a high number of guests to bathroom ratio depending on the size of the cottage. Very few 2 Acorn cottages have WiFi and the kitchen white goods and washing facilities are basic. Bedding, linen and towels are supplied in all 2-5 Acorn cottages.

3 Acorn: a good, standard offer. Generally it is correctly proportioned for the number of guests but could have a few compromises, for example a small kitchen, or a lower bathroom to guest ratio. The variety of white goods available will be better than a 2 Acorn cottage.

4 Acorn: these cottages have more premium furniture, fittings and lighting. Additionally the ratio of bathrooms to guests is likely to be higher, and the bathrooms would be more likely to have separate and spacious showers instead of showers over baths.

5 Acorn: a luxury accommodation offer with very few limiting factors. This is the highest offer available. It is well-equipped and has spacious facilities throughout the cottage or is set within an extraordinary location or building. The furniture is of a high standard, and has real comfort for modern living.
