Lower Collaton Farm is a traditional old Devonshire farmhouse, dating back to Domesday, nestled in a peaceful secluded valley, only six miles from Dartmouth, Totnes, Kingsbridge and award winning local beaches such as Blackpool Sands.
It is a small working farm, and apart from the hens in the yard Rosie and James have a very small flock of Shetland, Jacob and Zwartble sheep. Some are particularly friendly, and guests are welcome to be introduced at closer quarters. Three of the old barns have been skilfully converted into comfortable and characterful self catering holiday accommodation.
The Stables and The Byre, which both sleep four, have an upside down layout, with open plan on the first floor and double and twin bedrooms below. The ancient beams are exposed, giving the cottages lots of character. There is an outside seating and BBQ area. They are available from Easter to the end of September. A dog is welcome in the Stables.
Tucked into the opposite side of the farm courtyard is The Old Granary, a delightful and charming cosy cottage for just two. With maple floor and beamed ceiling, the downstairs bedroom has an adjacent wetroom. Up the winding stairs is the kitchen and living area. Outside is a pretty little garden. It’s available throughout the year, and for short breaks out of season.
