Oaktree Cottage

Sandford Cottage

Sandford Cottage is located on Southmoor Farm close to the village of Hawkchurch near Axminster, South East Devon.

The very secluded and peaceful holiday cottage was rebuilt some 8 years ago to the original design with local stone, solid walls and exposed low timber beamed ceiling.

Southmoor Farm is approximately 80 acres in total, 24 of which are used primarily for livestock. The majority of the land remains untouched and the result is acres of secluded 'wild' areas including woodland, meadows, ponds and streams for you to enjoy. Apart from being a birdwatchers paradise, we can boast a multitude of wildlife with badgers, deer, fox etc.

The very attractive village of Hawkchurch is within 2 miles where the local pub serves home cooked food and the market town of Axminster is less than 3 miles. Lyme Regis is approx. 6 miles with the large shopping areas of Exeter, Taunton, Honiton, Yeovil and Dorchester al well within 1 hours drive.

Christmas and New Year, weekly bookings only, changeover day friday.

Stone Farm Cottage

Two tastefully and comfortably furnished cottages next to 17th Century longhouse, set in a lush valley amongst 7 acres of fields, garden and woodland bounded by Rookery Brook - a haven of peace yet only 20 minutes drive from Exeter and close to Dartmoor.

The nearest beaches are Dawlish, Dawlish Warren and Teignmouth which are only 30 minutes drive away or further afield are Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth or the South Hams.

The Old Dairy

Tower Cottage

Tower Cottage was formerly part of Buckland Abbey, a Cistercian abbey owned to-day by the National Trust, but it is now a building in a privately owned mediaeval courtyard in the grounds of the Abbey.

The magnificent scenery of South-West Dartmoor offers walking, golf, fishing and riding, and there are National Trust walks through the surrounding countryside which can be joined from near the cottage. Being so near to the Cornish border, we are well placed for visiting a large number of NT houses and famous gardens in both Devon and Cornwall.

The market town of Tavistock is eight miles away; the weekly craft and antique market is fun for collectors, but most necessities can be found in Yelverton, three miles away, including meat, fish, fruit and veg. and a Post Office. The village P.O. at Crapstone (1 mile) has excellent bread. There are good local pubs in both Milton Combe (Who’d a Thought It) and Buckland Monachorum (The Drake Manor), both less than a mile away.
