Rooms

The four stone cottages boast cosy, yet contemporary, bright and inviting interiors. Renovated using the latest healthy building principles and outstanding sustainability credentials - you can relax in the knowledge that you’re holidaying responsibly. The Mill House is the largest property with the spacious open plan living areas and breathtaking country views. Five bedrooms and five bathrooms (luxury!) comfortably accommodate up to ten guests.

The Granary and Woodlark each sleep four guests in two sunsoaked bedrooms furnished with the comfiest beds and organic linen. Kids will adore Woodlark’s double bunk bed; a cosy spot for a sleepover after a day careering around the countryside. Originally the cattle shed, Caen Byre, is now an immaculately renovated cottage for families of up to five (plus dogs!). The south-facing courtyard garden overlooking the landscaped farm gardens and river is a magical spot for your morning coffee.

Eat

Each property has a fully equipped, beautiful kitchen. Think Smeg range cookers, fridge-freezers, dishwashers, plenty of storage space and natural washing up liquid. Preorder delicious organic goods from the Farm Shop and arrive to a stocked kitchen – you needn’t bring a thing.

Al fresco dining is a must during the summer. Barbeques and patio furniture can be found at each property, and you can have organic steaks, burgers and sustainable charcoal delivered to your cottage from the farm shop – giving you extra time to make the most of the gorgeous surroundings whilst sipping wine and watching the kids play. North Devon also has one of the most exciting food scenes in the country. So head off site and tuck into fresh seafood, Devonshire scones, exquisite pub grub or high class Michelin star dinners.

Activities

Little Comfort Farm has world class surfing, climbing, walking, cycling on their doorstep. If you’re an adventure-seeking family, North Devon is the perfect playground. Check out Woolacombe or Sauton Sands for a day at the beach. Or raise your pulse on the entirely traffic-free Tarka Cycle Trail.

Or while away hours at the fabulous farm. There are 70 acres to explore. Meet the animals and collect the eggs with Jeremy five mornings a week. Partake in a ‘nature discovery pick and mix’ session or admire the wildlife at your own pace roaming free range on the farm and wildlife trails. Light a campfire, share stories and fill up on sugary toasted marshmallows. There’s hours of fun to be had in the games room where you can leave older kids to safely socialise and play whilst parents indulge in some peace, quiet and wine.

Little Comfort Farm seeks to welcome all guests; providing exceptional, comfortable and safe accommodation. The Granary and Mill House are both wheelchair accessible and graded M2 by Visit England. The split level Mill House features living areas, twin bedrooms and a wheelchair accessible family bathroom on the upper ground floor.

About the owners

Jeremy & Jodie

Listed since May 2020

We fell in love with Little Comfort Farm at first sight. Nature is our passion and the wildlife we have on the farm is astounding. Our vision was to create a luxury retreat for welly lovers – somewhere families big and small could gather, reconnect with nature, get muddy searching for otter footprints, lost in the meadow searching for orchids, watch and listen to bats around a campfire and then retreat to 5* cottages fitted out to the highest quality. We think we’ve achieved it – a holiday full of adventure, discovery but also little luxuries. We’ve so many more ideas too…watch this space!

Owner recommendations

For stunning walks, you’d be hard pressed to beat Braunton Burrows, the sand dunes behind Saunton Sands beach, which is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (and has pram friendly sections!)
Marine Drive is a relatively unknown part of Woolacombe beach with a great café and views from the car park are stunning.
Our children love Exmoor Zoo and Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park.
Ilfracombe makes a fun day out – don’t miss the bijoux aquarium, Damien Hirst’s stunning statue and cute shops and amazing restaurants on Fore Street.
For food, some of our favourites are Block in Barnstaple for breakfast, the King’s Arms in Georgham for Sunday lunch and Riverside in Braunton for dinner…we can give plenty more…!
