For children there is a play area with swings and a trampoline. We are ideally placed to reach the sea, from sandy beaches, surf at Croyde or Saunton, to rocky coves or old fishing harbours such as the world famous Clovelly. The beaches in North Devon are amongst the best in England and the area has been recognized as having environmental importance and has been delegated a UNESCO Biosphere reserve. There are countless walks to explore from the farm and we are minutes away from the Tarka Trail, ideal for walking or cycling. There are a wealth of beautiful historic houses and gardens to visit nearby and numerous family attractions to enjoy. We are situated between the Moors, making it easy to explore the depths of Dartmoor or Exmoor and the pretty villages that are scattered around the area. As well as farming organically we try to be as environmentally friendly as possible and generate our own renewable energy from our wood boiler and solar panels.

Interaction with guestsCovid-D Update March 2020 Our cottages remain open for visitors and once here you need not come into direct contact with anyone else. We are in good health and have no cases of covid-D in the vicinity. Our cottages are deep cleaned to the highest standard before and after each booking. You can still enjoy walking in the countryside, fishing on the lake or watching the wildlife or our new born lambs. Pool Hygiene We have looked into pool hygiene safety with the Pool Treatment Advisory Group who state that Public Health England have said: “We have checked with our national leads who confirm that coronavirus would be inactivated at the levels of chlorine used in swimming pools.” We are open for business as usual but with preventative measures.

Lovely quiet and clean
The house is lovely, the pool is fantastic. Everything was clean and well cared for. On the two occasions there was a need for help it was dealt with quickly and we were kept informed the whole way. We would definitely stay here again. the WiFi did drop out from about 6-8pm every night but nothing too drastic. Not a terrible amount of things to do for kids around there other than walks but obviously that isn't their fault. BBQ was offered. Torrington is closest shops and seems to be a cash only based town which we found hard 🤣😂 it was a lovely stay overall though.

Wonderful Cottage
We booked a week at Meadow Cottage. The accommodation is stunning with beautiful views across the countryside. It was spotless when we arrived, the kitchen had every appliance you could think of. The under floor heating in the kitchen & lounge was lovely. Due to Covid you were given a time slot each day for the pool, this worked at very well as it was easier to plan the day. Despite the bad weather we went on the woodland walks which are within the grounds. Sophia & Roy were excellent hosts, always there if you needed them but nothing was to much trouble. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful barn
Just got back from a wonderful weekend away celebrating my parents ruby wedding anniversary. The barn is beautiful and has everything you need for a cosy weekend. The pool is lovely and warm which the children made full use of. The beds are comfy and the wonderful fire keeps you very well heated. We would love to come back. Definitely recommend.

Meadow cottage Roborough ...Amazing
We all had a wonderful holiday. The house was clean, impressive, and warm. The pool was kept at a lovely temperature and was also kept very clean. Two of my children who couldn’t swim, after one week, were able to swim unaided. Sophia and Roy were very kind to us and lent us fishing rods free of charge. The scenery was breathtaking and was peaceful. Walking around the beautiful forest, our eyes feasted on the nature and serenity that greeted our every turn. Wild flowers, together with the wild pheasants that roamed freely in the forest and surrounding landscape, added much richness to our stay. The children ran in the fields and watched the lambs grazing and the chickens pecking and scratching wherever they chose. It was all a picture of true beauty. A holiday we will never forget. A must to return. Helen Jeffers

Amazing Family Get-Away
We booked Meadow Cottage as a surprise family get together for a 70th birthday. The cottage didn`t disappoint in any way. The cottage is beautifully decorated with a homely feel. The weather wasn`t great whilst there so the pool was a fab addition, the kids where in it at every opportunity. My fave part of the cottage was the log fire, unlimited logs were available so we made the most it!!! The owner Sophia is very welcoming and friendly. I loved the little added touch of some milk, a bottle of bubbly and cake on arrival. Will definitely be coming back and would recommend to anyone xx

An excellent country escape for all the family
This was our second visit to Meadow Cottage and it lived up to our memories from the first visit. The cottage itself is clean, tidy and welcoming. The cake and wine left for arrival is always welcome. The rooms are a good size and have plenty of storage. The bathrooms and all facilities are perfect for our needs. There is a lovely little garden plus there are the woodlands and farm for you to explore. The cottage is excellent value and a home from home. In addition there is the brilliant swimming pool which is available to use anytime. We had a ball in there at least twice daily. It's 1.2 metres and our 5 five year olds absolutely loved it. The cottage is next door to a smaller cottage and so the pool is only shared with whatever small number of guests are in there. We visited some great family places during our stay, all from the information brochures left in the cottage. It's the perfect escape from busy urban life and I would recommend to anyone - couples, small families or larger groups.
