Welcome to South Coombe Farm Holiday Cottages
South Coombe is perfectly situated in one of the most beautiful parts of Devon. It has both country cottages – suitable for parties of between two and six - and bed & breakfast accommodation of the highest standard. We are lucky to be able to call South Coombe our home and we invite you to share in the peace, tranquillity and harmony that it instils in everyone who visits.
The farmhouse itself – which houses the bed & breakfast accommodation - is over four hundred years old and is a “chocolate box” Devon thatched cottage of immense character and beauty. The four country cottages – created from barns that are around three hundred years old – ooze charm and yet have all the facilities of modern living. All have stunning countryside views.
The swimming pool complex – which is considerably younger – is ideally placed for guests to enjoy. It was completed in 2006 and houses a 10m x 5m indoor swimming pool, a sauna, a games room and a fully equipped gym. Situated on the site of an old Dutch barn, the complex also has an outdoor patio where guests can relax in the open air.
Once a working farm and now a haven for wildlife, South Coombe is surrounded by fifteen acres of land where guests may wander at their leisure. Grassy spots along the stream that runs through part of the farm, and the lawns adjacent to the duck ponds make lovely settings for impromptu picnics. Sharing the open space you will find our free-range hens and ducks.
Within the lovely old cider orchard there is a children’s activity play area with slides, swings and climbing frames making this just the right place for children to have fun. We have strategically placed a picnic table adjacent to the play area so that parents can sit and drink a glass of wine whilst supervising their children!
Guests with one pet are also welcome to holiday at South Coombe. We have ample secure space for dogs to run and play without worrying the other animals. We do ask that dogs are not left unattended in the cottages or allowed upstairs.
Witheridge village is 1 mile away and has a general store, post office and newsagents where you can buy most everyday items. The village has two pubs serving good food and both have been well visited by our previous guests.
Situated between North and South Devon, we are within easy reach of Exmoor, Dartmoor and the coastal resorts. So, although lots of our guests choose to spend their days with us, if you do want to see more of Devon, we are perfectly placed for you to do just that.
Please come and join us for a relaxing break soon!
