About the home

AT EAST DEVON, between Lyme Regis and Sidmouth, we are a half a mile outside of Colyton, a quarter of a mile off the road (along a concrete private road). Colcombe Abbey Farm is a small family run farm, we are predominantly dairy (you are welcome to come and see the cows being milked and see the baby calf's) with a 120 Friesian herd, a small number of beef animals (75), a beautiful horse and a dartmoor pony. We have five dogs (a Spaniel, a Jack Russell, a Dalmatian and a Huntaway and a Collie) which are not allowed around the mobile home. There are 20 free range chickens running around, 3 geese and you can always hear the birds singing.

The two bedroom mobile home sits on a large grass paddock (200ft x 200ft). It is fully equipped, inclusive and has a full valet on change over day. Just outside there is a picnic table, bar-b-cue and a large trampoline.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Smokers are welcome, however smoking inside the caravan is not permited.

Further details outdoors:
There is plenty of room for parking.
Outside gas bar b cue included at no extra cost, ideal for making the most of warm summer evenings! A large trampoline and picnic table situated beside the caravan.

Please note that the trampoline is use at your own risk, this is because my insurance company has stated they are to high risk against accidents for them to insure.

Further details

New arrivals welcome 3 pm onward. On departure day, please vacate by 10 am.

The third bedroom is a pull out double sofa bed in the lounge which can be shut off with a drawing of the curtains. There is also a level spot next to the caravan which can be used to pitch a tent at a minimal charge - please contact me if interested.

Conditions

To book;
Contact me first either by telephone or email to check availability and then assuming the caravan is available, a £80 deposit is required and then at least 6 weeks before arrival date the total balance must be settled.

Security deposit;
£40 per week to be added into the total. This will be fully refunded on departure subject to the caravan being left clean and tidy and similar to how it was found. In the event of breakages these must be declared and a fair settlement will be reached.

Cancellation procedure;
For any reason should you need to cancel your holiday I will do my best to re-let the week(s) and if I can do so I am happy to give a full refund.

If anything I have said is unclear or seems unreasonable in any way please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to try my best to help.

A welcome pack will be provided for arrivals, this includes tea, coffee, milk and some biscuits.

Colyton is a small historic town with a rebellious legend. It has an 11th century St Andrews Church with a hexagon tower. Colyton has 3 pubs and 2 additional restaurants, an old oak bark tannery, the only one remaining in the country. There are 2 tennis courts and 2 playing fields. A good fish and chip shop, 2 general stores a very old fashion post office, An Aladdin’s cave hardware shop and library. Just on the outside (towards the grammer school) there is a lovely picnic area.

Picturesque and tranquil rivers Coly and Umborne meet as you enter Colyton; here there are ducks in plenty that children can enjoy feeding bread to.

Linking Colyton to Seaton is the famous Seaton Tramway which travels alongside the Axe estuary.

“A haven of peace tucked into the glorious East Devon countryside.” Comfortable accomodation and very friendly and welcoming hosts. Whilst being an ideal location for a peaceful holiday there is also the opportunity to gain an insight into the real world of dairy farming. My five year old granddaughter thouroughly enjoyed helping to feed the calves and collect eggs. There is a trampoline for for the use of the younger guests which is an extremely fun way of burning off excess energy. We have stayed here a few times over the past five years and we are always loathe to leave. We will definitely be returning. The Voysey family are very welcoming and considerate of their guests. Easy access to the beautiful Jurassic coast. One not to miss for the children is a day at ESCOT, nr Ottery St Mary and do try the wierd and wonderful milkshakes on offer at Honiton Pottery. Favourite places: Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary, Seaton Tramway and Dartmoor which is a liitle over an hour away by car. If you fancy a day in Exeter, I recommend taking the train from Axmintser, it is very cheap to park the car at the station. And of course Colyton itself. A pleasant walk into the town, a look at the Church and a beverage in one of the local pubs or tea shop. If you dont want to go into Seaton for fish and chips, the local take away is very good.

Good accommodation in really lovely part of Devon. I recommend Beer and Lyme as Lyme has a sandy beach and a good place to eat in the evening. Richard and Family very nice & friendly :0)
