Rural Holiday Cottage with Wonderful Countryside Views on Friendly Smallholding.

We converted Golden Square Cottage from an old dairy. The cottage was designed to make the most of the amazing views from our hill top position. The view from the bedrooms and the large private deck are really special.

The cottage is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The cottage is in a great location for walking and exploring the Blackdown Hills and the Jurassic Coast is within easy reach for great days on the seafront.

Finished to a high standard, with every detail carefully thought out. We've tried to be as environmentally friendly as possible, installing solar panels to provide hot water, using responsibly sourced wood for the windows and doors made by a local craftsman, and using eco friendly paints and finishings wherever possible. As even rural areas are moving with the times we now have a Fibre Broadband connection at the cottage.

Beautiful cottage in rural location

This is such a lovely cottage set on a small farm in beautiful Stockland. The owners are very welcoming and allowed the children to feed the animals which they loved. The cottage has everything you would need and is perfect for a family of 5. It's a very central location with easy access to Lyme Regis and Sidmouth. Would recommend to all.

A perfect cottage.

A very comfortable cottage with everything you need. Lovely fresh eggs on arrival, two bathrooms and large fluffy towels made our stay extra special. A quiet area and waking up to amazing views and sunrises added to the charm. Our dogs loved the orchard which was a secure area for them. We enjoyed the wonderful countryside and the cottage was well situated for the coast too.

Wonderful location.

This property is located in a very picturesque setting. We found it very easy to find using the postal code in the owner’s directions. We found the home very clean, well stocked and comfortable. The location was a great base from which we explored the area.

Excellent cottage stay

The cottage is really nice and cosy, feels like home. Stunning view over the hills and village, looks like a Christmas card scene with light fog and smoke from a nearby house. Brilliant log fire. The hosts were really friendly. Perfect experience.

Fantastic stay, excellent hosts and beautiful cottage

We had a fantastic stay, the hosts greeted us on arrival which was lovely. The cottage had everything we needed and plenty big enough for a family of four. The beds were very comfy, the whole place was spotless. Thank you 😊 also for helping with the little “incident” with the dog. We will definitely be back. Thank you again

A relaxing and quiet place to stay

Excellent. Decking area great for morning sun. Good views Good easy to use Log burning stove, not that the cottage was cold as has CH. Comfortable beds. Good layout of cottage. On site parking by cottage, handy to unload if wet. Good access to main roads, no bumpy gravel farm tracks to cope with. On site grounds to explore, with various animals to watch.

Devon Experience

We stayed here for a week and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The cottage was clean, warm and comfortable (we were there in November) with all the amenities required. It is located in a rural setting so peaceful and quiet at night. It is well located for exploring the Jurassic and Devon coastlines as well as Dartmoor and we even ventured up to Bath for the day - no problems. There are numerous walks to choose from complemented by any number of friendly pubs (can recommend the Tucker's Arms in Dalwood!). A most enjoyable experience!

Stockland: 15th to 18th April 2023

We have stayed at this farm-house previously and very much enjoyed it. This time, we took our young dog with us. The walks are great, although hilly, and the countryside surrounding this very rural spot is very quiet. However, it is not too far from Honiton, and a little further, the coasts of Lyme Regis, Seaton & Sidmouth. Lovely clean, well kept and extremely well equipped accommodation, and the owners on site in their own house are very friendly and helpful, but will leave you alone to get on with your break. We will go again, as most places and resorts are dog friendly, as is the holiday home. Highly recommended.

Nice Cottage in rural landscape and very friendly hosts

We had a two weeks stay in this Cottage with two adults and two children. The floor space was absolute sufficient for us. All rooms were very clean and tidy. The Arrangement of rooms was perfect for our stay. The Equipment was useful, especially the kitchen enabled us to cook from time to time. The terrace was ready for BBQ. The location of the Cottage is very silent, there is only a small road with small traffic. Rob and Kath gave us a warm welcome and during our stay they looked for us if they could give us any assistance. We enjoyed our stay and recommend this accommodation to people who like it silent and rural. For a visit in this area we clearly would book this Cottage again.
