"Sheep dot the hillside, cows comma the fields,
my barn a blip of brown in the breeze-blown green;
being sucked into undergrowth beside a shallow stream"
"Devon Hymns" Jeremy Clarke
Holyford Farm Cottages are situated close to the village of Colyford in East Devon. Only 3 miles from Beer (Channel 4 'Village of the Year' finalist in 2018) and 7 miles from Lyme Regis, it's the perfect base to explore the beauty of the spectacular Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
Holyford Woods has an abundance of wildlife, and offers some wonderful country walks literally on the doorstep.
Guests can enjoy a variety of self-catering accommodation options;
The Old Farm House property forms the east wing of the extended farmhouse building, which is Grade 2 Listed. It has a wealth of fabulous historic features, including extensive oak panelling, cross beams, inglenook fireplace and two spiral staircases, all dating back to the late Tudor period. The Coach House forms the major part of a converted Victorian coach house building. It adjoins The Gardener's Cottage which looks out over the farmhouse garden. Whilst each cottage has its own private seating area, there are various other spaces around the farm for guests to enjoy the sound of the nearby stream, waterfall and abundant birdsong. The night skies are also very special.
