Holly Hock

About this property

Prepare yourself for a truly incredible holiday. This spacious stone cottage, located on a working farm in rural Devon, is rated 5*, can accommodate a mixed group plus five dogs, and you can even bring your horses. The holiday resort has on-site services including beauty treatments, and you’ll have a private hot tub.

Enter the property for an airy, open-plan reception/dining area/lounge, overlooked by a mezzanine. The place is full of natural light through the glass patio doors and surrounding windows, and in the evening, you can make use of the wood burner, set in a stone inglenook fireplace. Continue through an archway to find a spacious and well-equipped kitchen. Head up the stairs and take the time to notice the exposed beam and vaulted ceiling. Here, you’ll find a family bathroom with a freestanding bath and a huge shower, a twin bedroom, a king-size bedroom, and another king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Outside, there’s a private patio, perfect for fabulous evenings in. You’ll see a BBQ and dining area, and then a hot tub for a long, slow soak. Guests have access to shared grounds, including a play area for children, chicken coops for fresh, free-range eggs, and three lakes for fishing.

You’ll be staying in the centre of Devon, surrounded by beautiful countryside and fascinating history. The Stone Lane Gardens, 4.5 miles away, are well worth a visit, and you’ll see sculptures and rare plants. Further along there’s Castle Drogo, 6.5 miles, a mock medieval castle with extensive grounds, situated on an ancient gorge. If you’d like a day on the coast, try Dawlish (26.5 miles), a bustling seaside town with a main beach and a few quieter spots, plus pubs and fish and chip shops.
