Knowle Farm is idyllically set in 44 acres of beautiful South Devon countryside with its very own woodland and riverside walks to explore. Dating back to the 17th Century the six individual cottages have been lovingly converted, the majority with original thick stone walls. all full of character and all with lovely views to enjoy.
The cottages have received the VisitEngland Gold award for exceptional quality of accommodation. While comfortably and thoughtfully furnished with just about everything you might need there is a particularly helpful focus on families with younger children - cots and high chairs are of course supplied but you will also find items such as baby baths, microwave sterilizers and booster steps available on request - so you really do not need to pack the car to the hilt.
