About this group of co-located holiday homes

South Farm offers self catering holiday cottages in Devon with free fishing open all year set in the beautiful Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Nestled on gentle slopes between Honiton and Cullompton in East Devon, we offer a self contained holiday with a choice of four self catering cottages and a large farm house with its own hot tub, giving a total compliment for up to 40 people.

South Farm is an idyllic holiday destination within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty less than an hours drive from Exmoor or Dartmoor. The guests at South Farm can enjoy stunning views and share the wonderful facilities. A communal games barn with badminton, table tennis, toys, books and board games is ideal for children to let off steam, whilst adults indulge in a sauna and spa or use the gym, perhaps even swim in the solar heated outdoor swimming pool after a “knock about” on our tennis court. The grounds are extensive with picnic tables (BBQ’s also available) and there is children’s play-area with trampoline and play tower. Close to the cottages are three well-stocked coarse fishing lakes. The surrounding fields are where deer and buzzards roam, as night falls you may even see the badger family and foxes that often pay us an evening visit.

Further details outdoors:
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 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.

Guestbook for South farm holiday cottages

Would just like to say a big Thank you to Gary and Debbie for making our stay at South Farm, Farm house so comfortable and enjoyable. It has been a wonderful holiday with so much to do tennis, badminton, horse riding, fishing, hot tub to name a few.

The Cremers and Caldwells (Farm House Aug 2009)


Our first visit to South Farm and we have truly enjoyed our stay.

Oaktree cottage is lovely, loved the layout and the superb views, the sunsets have been gorgeous. Appreciated the little touches like the flowers and candles. The facilities – games barn, tennis, trampoline and pool have all been tried and enjoyed.

Fishing has been fantastic, using luncheon meat and sweet corn just off the island. The lads fished the top lake and caught nearly 200 fish (little ones) in just one morning!

Thankyou Gary and Debs for a lovely holiday and for welcoming sister and family for a day visit.

The Parton and Oliver Family (Oaktree cottage July/Aug 2009)


Very comfortable accommodation, with excellent on – site facilities. We particularly enjoyed playing table tennis and of course the fishing, catching some top quality Carp. We have really enjoyed our holiday, in spite of the weather!

Richard, Heather, Catherine and Andrew Hillary (Carp Lodge Aug 2009)


Thanks once again to Debbie and Gary, you make us very welcome and we have enjoyed the week here.

Weather not good, but we have made the most of it. Fishing good plenty of carp up to 7lb and roach and Tench.

We liked the fact that you have brightened up the surrounding area with pots and plants very nice touch.

Anne and Vic (Lake cottage July 2009)


Just spent 2 lovely weeks in Carp lodge, lovely place, lovely people and great fishing.

My husbands an avid fisherman and has been for many years so when he praises good fishing sites they must be good. He was out there fishing nearly every day and catching decent fish. Needless to say that we will no doubt be back some time.

Norma Ken and Charlie (Carp Lodge July 2009)


The setting, ambience and features of the house made it a great place for a family reunion. Thank you Gary and Debbie for making it so welcoming and spotlessly clean.

The games barn and hot tub provided good back up for the British summer weather. To this end the conservatory was great for Granny to keep warm. Despite the weather we really enjoyed the stay, Thank you.

The Snoads, Bests and Bennets (Farm house July 2009)


Rebecca (me) had a really good time here because you have an extremely good kids place, the trampoline, hot tub and the swimming pool. Thank you for letting us stay here. Rebecca Snoad (age 9).

Our 4th visit and we still love it. Shame about the weather but it didn’t stop the days out or the fishing. As always Debbie and Gary made us feel welcome and it was lovely to see Rags again Hope to see you next year,

Frank, Susan and Jessica (Coshes garden July 2009)


We have really enjoyed our stay at South Farm. The children loved the pool and the trampoline. Only the weather was typical British, never the less we loved the walks and wonderful sights and views. The cottages are so nice.

Karin, Dirk and Family from Cologne in Germany. (Coshes garden, Cinders and Stables cottage 27/07/09 – 08/08/09)


Our 3rd stay at South Farm (1st stay in the Farm House). It still has a wonderful family feeling, long may it continue. We have enjoyed 4 days of glorious sunshine, tennis, badminton, fishing, trampolining and fishing not forgetting swimming in the rather cool pool although the thought of the hot tub made the swimming all the more bearable. I hope that we will be able to visit again. Thank you Gary and Debbie for your hospitality.

The Harpers (Farm house August 2009).


Being an OAP I have had plenty to see, the hills in the distance and the lovely birds in the garden. Seeing the girls in the hot tub, seeing Nick do a lovely BBQ. They played tennis, badminton and used the barn. An excellent holiday for me and my family. Thankyou, Marie Mabb (Farm house August 2009).


Great to be back in Lake cottage. Thanks to Gary and Debbie for the welcome on our return. Weather mixed but generally good. The fishing on home lake has been excellent but we were spoilt as we had the lake to ourselves most days. The improvements to the cottage are great.

Hope to be back again next year.
