Review of Colcombe Farm Holiday Home
Reviews from our community
4 reviews The caravan is one of two and was incredibly clean. We cooked several evening meals and breakfast most days and found all the utensils, pots & pans we needed - well equipped kitchen and gas oven. Colyton is a lovely village, our boys are 8 and 14 so managed the 15/20 minute walk no problem. So easy to get everywhere; Lyme Regis, Beer, Sidmouth, Charmouth, Seaton, Bridport and so much more - lovely area, will definitely return. We enjoyed meeting the new Dalmatian puppies, watching the cows go to milking twice a day, the geese, the turkeys, the chickens, the dogs and the friendliness of the owners all made our week here perfect - we had a fantastic week and are already talking about coming back next year!

What a great place to stay. Where to start? The hosts are friendly and welcoming, the caravan thoughtfully kitted out, with play facilities on site. The location is excellent for accessing a good range of places to visit and It was a treat to be on a working farm with Mr (not too) Grumpy Gander, his wife Matilda and their friend Malcolm not- a -goose.

Colcombe Farm is a working farm with everything that goes with it. If you are looking for sanitised luxury then this is not the place for you.
If you are looking for a spotless caravan in the midst of peaceful surroundings, the opportunity to watch the cows make their way to graze following milking, the chance to make friends with lots of dogs, seven chickens, new calfs and shy guinea fowl then this definitely IS the place for you.
Thanks to Sylvia for her friendliness and willingness to chat in spite of being busy. It was a pleasure to meet you.
Dorset and Devon - what is there to say? Another great reason to holiday in the UK!

We stayed at Colcombe Farm for a last minute weekend break in Autumn Half Term. The caravan was clean and comfortable, and kept us warm and dry despite some atrocious weather. The beds were comfortable with bedding, pillows etc plentiful, although the single beds were definitely 'caravan-sized'. Sylvie was very friendly and helpful. Our youngest son in particular loved the trampoline, the chickens and the geese.
This is a lovely area to visit. Lyme Regis is on the doorstep, and the firework display on the Cobb was excellent. Charmouth is good for fossil hunting, and we had a great walk over the cliffs from quaint Beer to Branscombe. There would be plenty to do round here for a much longer stay.

Having never stayed in a caravan before we did not know what to expect. This caravan is a really good size and is in a lovely location. The lounge was huge, although there was only 2 of us we would definitely return with 6, the kitchen had everything you could need. The caravan is on a pretty farm with loads of outdoors space. The owners were very helpful and flexible, allowing us to arrive early in the day despite us only staying the one night.
We went to a lovely pub where the staff were really friendly. There are so many places on the doorstep like lyme regis etc we will definately be back to explore the area more! The town also has a bank, shop etc so you can easily go there on the evening have a drink and walk back.
Excellent value for money we will definately come again!
