Our holiday’s can be let week to week commencing on a Monday or Friday, Midweek Breaks & Weekend Breaks. During high season we only let Friday to Friday weekly lettings.

Love the lake
We have a stunning setting around our “Secret” freshwater lake, with a large wooden lake house that is hidden away and can only be accessed along a magical woodland track, it’s not easy to find, secluded from the farm by the woods.
Love the farm
The farm is not a working farm, more like a glorious parkland Estate, surrounded by 100s of our neighbours, grazing Devon Longhair Sheep. We are however still very proactive in the farming process at Down Farm. We are active members of the Woodland Trust, the Countryside Stewardship and holders of a holding number to keep Piglets in the top wood, it enables us to participate in the management of our Farm.
Love North Devon
We are just a few miles from North Devon’s award winning beaches, Picturesque fishing villages and dozens of hidden gems. Just minutes from the A399, it is very accessible to get to, while the secluded setting means guests get away from the hoards in summer and find some tranquillity.

Love the woods
We are blessed with 2 woodland areas at Down Farm. The smaller wood is about 3 acres, we refer to this wood as the Christmas tree plantation, and this is where the Buzzards live alongside the resident Deer and Hares.
This is a heavenly spot to sit, with glorious views over our Valley and North Devon. A wonderful Devonshire stone wall encloses the wood; this is where we keep the pigs sheltered from the summer sun. There is also a hay barn, which is resident to a Barn Owl, this you will hear in the distance at night calling his song...It really is magical.
