The West Country / Devon region

The rolling wooded hills of Devon with small hedged fields and narrow lanes is ideally suited to grass growing and therefore livestock rearing. Our part of Devon is remote and therefore quiet and at night you can see the stars and hear the owls.

Due to the heavy soil the fields remain green all year round and there is abundant wildlife, including numerous red deer which roam freely on our fields. The wooded streams which border our land are perfect for taking quiet walks, picnics or for painting or photographing the varied landscape. Our weather comes from the south west and is usually mild even in winter.

Tiverton / Witheridge area

Tiverton is a historic market town occupied by the Romans who used it as a base for their activities in the West country.

The local museum provides an interesting insight into this aspect of the town's history. Visit the castle with its famous tapestry hangings and the pannier market held Fridays and Saturdays. There is a newly built leisure centre and a cinema.

The river Exe passes through the town as does the Grand Western canal and horse drawn barge trips take you through the most picturesque countryside. Knightshayes and Killerton House, two National Trust houses with beautiful garden are close by and well worth a visit.

How to get there

Pond Cottage lies halfway between the villages of Rackenford and Witheridge.

10 miles to the west of Tiverton, it is in one of the few remaining unspoilt areas in England and only 17 miles from the M5.

Detailed information on how to get from the A361 to the cottage will be supplied on booking.

Facilities

Further details outdoors:
The farmhouse with range of stone barns is surrounded by its own garden, arboretum, orchard, swimming pool and ancient pond which laps against the stone walls of the granary.

Inside the granary is the old two screw cider press and crusher, used every autumn to make cider and apple juice from our 10 acres of orchard. You are welcome to participate in this activity.

The cobbled court yard also contains the unique 18th century hen house still in use.

Further details

The 7 Kw Lorraine wood burner is the perfect way to heat the house due to the substantial insulation (free logs & kindling from the wood shed) but should it turn very cold during the winter months there is electric underfloor heating downstairs and programmable electric radiators in the bedrooms and heated towel rails in the shower rooms.

The cottage is available all year on a weekly basis with shorter breaks also available in the low season.

A deposit of £200 is required before a reservation can be confirmed and the balance is required 4 weeks before arrival together with a £100 damages deposit.

All bookings include linen and towels, which are changed weekly.

Guestbook for Pond Cottage

Thank you so much for our lovely holiday at Pond Cottage during October half term.

We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and found the cottage to have far more than we have ever experienced in previous self catering holidays. The bottle of wine, jam and eggs were a lovely touch and very much appreciated. The cottage is so spacious and warm, with the log burner being particularly beneficial during the cold weather.

Our daughter really enjoyed walking in the fields with the sheep and collecting eggs from the hen house - she cannot wait to tell all her school friends about her experiences. I loved being able to walk freely and safely through your fields - with only the sheep to speak to!! We found lots of interesting places to visit during our short stay with you - not bad as we were having to please 3 generations!

Thank you so much for the warm welcome that you extended to us - it made our holiday all the more enjoyable. We certainly will visit you again - hopefully next summer for yet another week! We may even have the opportunity to try out the swimming pool should the weather permit.

Kind regards

Helen and Ellie Jackson.
