Rural farm vacations in Devon

The accommodation at the farm comprises of a large lodge, converted from a cowshed, a wooden lodge, two small wooden cabins and a cosy stone cottage, which is named after the opportunistic otter spotted pilfering the farmyard pond. The two lodges, which sleep eight and six, both feature hot tubs and the largest is especially accessible thanks to its flat floors and wet shower room. The smaller cabins and the cottage sleep four each, while the latter is particularly well suited to off season and winter getaways when you can keep warm with its wood burning stove. Additional amenities range from microwaves, TVs and towels to pianos and BBQs.

Vacations here are self-catering, and all accommodation comes with a fully equipped kitchen, although that doesn’t have to mean hard work. Get your local produce delivered to your door from the farm shop down the road (if you don’t fancy the walk) or eat out at one of the nearby pubs. Accessibility is made easy with the option to borrow perching stools, raised toilet seats and audio guides to the area, among other things. The farm is dog-friendly, and kid-friendly too, with plenty of space for them to range free. Keep them entertained catching carp on the wildlife pond, or borrow boats, paddleboards or bikes. It’s a year-round rural retreat, where winter can be spent quietly away from the crowds, and spring and summer showcase nature at its most spectacular.
