Overview
Property code: BURSC

Bring the family and your dog to enjoy a stay at this gorgeous farmhouse located on the owner’s 400-acre farm just 2.5 miles from the seaside town of Sidmouth. Guests are encouraged to learn more about rural life by exploring the farm and visiting the animals: an ideal holiday experience for little ones! To the rear of the property, a generously-sized private garden is a fantastic place for you to relax while your dog chases his tail on the lawn. Children meanwhile are sure to adore the shared play area.

This property really is doggy heaven, with its generously-sized enclosed garden, plenty of places to sniff around, and gorgeous countryside surroundings offering miles of walks.

The open-plan lounge/diner makes it easy for you and your family to spend time together, whilst the two bedrooms can each accommodate two guests, the first being a double and the second a  twin. Guests are also welcome to explore the farm, taking care to keep dogs on leads due to the resident livestock.

Set within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and just 2.5 miles north of Sidmouth, staying at this property allows you to experience both countryside and coast with your canine companion at your side. Part of the Jurassic Heritage Coast, Sidmouth’s seafront offers a sand and pebble beach which is open to dogs from September through to May, with a smaller section welcoming your happy hounds all year round.

Perfect country get away. So quiet and peaceful and a lovely location. House was spotless, comfortable and well equipped. Sky TV (with movies and sports) and smart tv kept the kids happy when we were home. Really friendly and welcoming family who took the time to show us around their dairy farm.

An ideal location on an isolated farm. Lovely to relax, unwind & watch the cows - wonderful! Yet still near enough to the town of Sidmouth only a few miles away.

The cottage is very comfortable, clean and well equipped. A great place to relax and enjoy. The location is ideal for all local attractions. The only negative is the road to the property which is full of potholes and needs very careful driving. Other than that everything was perfect

A comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting, lovely walks and surrounded by lovely woods. The down side for us was the steep descent and accent from the property was a little daunting given our advanced age, we did manage to walk being reasonably fit for our ages, others may not be able to, it may be a help to others if this information was listedRead more on the advert. I would recommend the property to younger people we know. Hide

The property was tidy and clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, we found it wasn't age, and disability friendly. The location was central for visiting Devon, just a shame about the lane, but for peace and quiet, just right.

As a family of four including a baby and toddler we had a fantastic stay here. Lovely and quiet, beautiful views and friendly hosts. The accommodation was really clean and well equipped, we had everything we needed. Our toddler loved watching the cows, playing on the slide and especially making friends with the farm cats toast and marmite!

A comfortable cottage on a working dairy farm which adds another dimension to the holiday. The welcome and friendliness of the hosts really made our stay as we were able to see the calves and cows throughout the week, great for the little ones. Lovely and peaceful, the location is great for day trips out to the beaches and other local attractions.
