South Farm holiday cottages are situated in East Devon in the Blackdown Hills which are known locally as the secret hills due to their tranquil setting, we are central to Devon's many tourist attractions, summer and winter, beaches, moors, market towns, Torquay, Dartmouth and the seaside resorts of Lyme Regis, Beer, Sidmouth and Exmouth, all part of the recently designated Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage site.

Apart from coarse fishing in our lakes, strolling our quiet lanes and enjoying the birdsong and peace, we have our own access to adjoining Woodland Trust woods. Within walking distance, there is also the Sheldon Equestrian Centre, Hollies trout fishery and by prior arrangement, we can also arrange a visit to the local milking parlour only a short walk away by footpath. There is also good cycling, along the quiet country lanes.

Or you could take to the skies and after visiting the Memorial Museum at Dunkeswell, launch yourself out of a plane, parachuting, go gliding, learn to fly or drift overhead in a hot air balloon from Exeter.

Honiton, 7 miles away is a delightful Devon market town. Shop at a Farmer's market or the High Street shops that offer the best of Devon food, then browse through the antique shops. Also Visit historical Exeter, the regional capital only 20 minutes drive or bustling Taunton, a little further.

For the adventurous, there is 4x4 driving range, go-karting, hiking or mountain bike riding on our own Blackdowns, Dartmoor or Exmoor and surfing off the golden beaches of North Devon. And don't forget fossil hunting at Charmouth.

All year round Devon hosts Special Events and Festivals many of which are hosted at National Trust houses and gardens. So much to do and so little time!

If that all sounds too energetic come to South Farm holiday cottages with just a good book, a sketch pad or a fishing rod. Forget the car and enjoy the tranquillity and beauty of rural Devon. Be active or relax at South Farm holiday cottages accommodation.
