About this farm stay rental
South Farm offers 7 self catering holiday cottages plus a large farmhouse in Devon with free fishing open all year set in the beautiful Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
All the Holiday cottages have a traditional country feel, well equipped and homely.
There is a large games barn with badminton, table tennis, toys, books, art table and board games. The solar heated outdoor swimming pool is open through the summer months and there is a shared hot tub and sauna which operate at different times of the year. There is a tennis court with rackets and balls for use. The grounds are extensive with picnic tables and BBQ’s available and there is a children’s play-area with trampoline. Close to the cottages are three well-stocked Carp / coarse fishing lakes. The surrounding fields are where deer and buzzards roam, as night falls you may even see the badgers and foxes that visit.
South Farm is an idyllic destination for those wanting to fish, it is suitable for families and with fantastic views and walks it is a great get away from the busy pace of life. It is not far from the south coast and seaside towns of Sidmouth and Beer. It is less than an hours drive from Exmoor or Dartmoor.
All our self catering holiday cottages are dog friendly, they will love the long walks through the woodlands and open fields in and around South farm.
Some of England’s darkest skies are above Devon and one of the most amazing sights on Earth should be the night sky
Star gazing is one of nature’s wonders that town and city dwellers tend to miss out on because of light pollution. No Light pollution here at South Farm holiday cottages means you can enjoy the star gazing holiday experience in full glory and you have the swimming pool, play park, tennis and fishing lakes and much more to enjoy during the day.
So grab your telescope or pair of binoculars, head outside and catch some celestial glory and a star gazing holiday to remember.

We couldn’t have enjoyed our holiday home more . Justin and Pippa were the best of hosts . Nothing was too much trouble . The site itself offers so much to do ( for mixed ages) and is in a stunning spot . Beaches and experiences are in easy driving distance . We’ve already booked again for next year .

We stayed in the farmhouse and the whole site has everything you need to keep the children entertained. The games room covered all ages and had something for everyone. The children's painting shed was a lovely surprise and the pool was a good size too. The owners were very helpful, and couldn't do enough for you. Only thing that slightly disappointed us was that for the fishing you had to have a licence but there was no mention of this on the website. Other than that,, not one grumble and everything was perfect.

Beautiful property in an amazing setting. Very large, clean and comfortable rooms, well equipped kitchen and facilities were great too. The swimming pool was a hit with everyone. Deb and Gary were really helpful, there if we needed them otherwise not intrusive. We stayed a week and never left the property. A perfect location for relaxing. We didn’t feel the need to go out anywhere.

The farmhouse was an amazing venue to rent with some other families. We had mostly teenagers and there is just so much to do with badminton, table-tennis and tennis court that the kids were never bored and was so great to see them off devices! The house is beautiful and the views and countryside around is lovely… especially when sat in the hot tub or out for a woodland walk! Even when the weather was bad… there is so much to do and plenty of room for out party of 10! The management Gary and Deb were brilliant and so helpful! I will definitely be recommending it…. Although maybe I should keep it a secret so I can book it again! Thanks so much to Gary and Deb for a really brilliant stay… even the 2 storms couldn’t effect how much we enjoyed it!

We rented the farmhouse at South Farm for half term. Stunning location, the house itself is beautiful - super clean -and added bonus of a hot tub. We don't fish, but the owners kindly lent us a rod and net. Some of the facilities were limited due to covid such as the sauna and gym but it didn't spoil our enjoyment - nor did the rain. Lots to do in the area for kids- ours loved everything we did (diggerland, bear trail, seeing wolves and birds of prey, the fishing and of course the hot tub!) We had a wonderful stay and wouldn't hesitate to return.

The farmhouse and location was just perfect for our family holiday, it felt very special and was exactly what we all needed. Thanks to Deb and Gary for making the stay so lovely and for all the advice from Gary about places to go. We all really enjoyed the fishing too, the place is looked after extremely well.
The farmhouse was equipped superbly and very clean and furnished really nicely. The hot tub was great and good to know that it is well maintained and checked every day.
My only comment would be that the pool needed to be warmer, especially for me to be tempted to go in, but I understand the reasons for you not being able to cover it up – this didn’t effect the holiday though as we went to the beaches instead which was lovely.

Our family had a lovely stay in the Farm House. The location was beautiful and quiet. No traffic so the kids were safe & free to run to the playground or play barn when they wanted. The kitchen was very well equipped. As I tend to do a lot of cooking it made my work much easier. The kids enjoyed fishing in the very well stocked pond. Would certainly stay again.

This place has it all. A lovely big farmhouse with the most amazing views. There is no need to leave the grounds as it has everything you could want such as tennis court, badminton court, swimming pool, hot tub, play barn, plenty of lakes for fishing and lots of places to explore.We really enjoyed our stay celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary and look forward to returning in the future.

We loved the farm house it was spacious for us all to be together, loved the log fire, big kitchen and really big lounge. Everyone enjoyed the games room and hot tub in the evenings. The cottage is quite a way from any local village about 6 miles and the roads narrow, some nice coffee shops and pubs which are mainly dog friendly. Tesco nearby so were able to pick up supplies and the kitchen was lovely to cook in, they also had an aga should you wish to cook in that. The owners were friendly although we did feel there were many rules on how to stay there partly understood why but felt it was a little over the top. Views from the rooms were great and it was quiet and peaceful.
