If you’re looking for somewhere to stay for gatherings with extended family and friends, it’s good to know that our beautiful Devon cottages at Stonehayes Farm provide holiday accommodation for up to 34 people. You can have the entire site to yourselves for whatever reason – a reunion, a wedding, a special birthday or anniversary celebration, or just to spend downtime with the people you love most in the world.
Getting together with all your favourite people is one of the best things in life and you can have the whole of Stonehayes Farm all to yourselves! That gives you holiday accommodation for up to 34 people, so it’s the perfect solution for when you want to spend time catching up with extended family and friends. You might be looking for accommodation for a wedding in this part of Devon, for somewhere to celebrate a significant birthday or anniversary, or just somewhere to stay so that you can all have a jolly good catch up.
Stonehayes Farm is tucked away in the Blackdown Hills AONB/Natural Landscape just a mile or so from the market town of Honiton, easily reached from the M5, A303 and A30. It’s such a special place to stay, far, far removed from the hustle and bustle of bigger towns and cities, like a different world where life slows down and the pace drops a gear or two. Spend unhurried days in the beautiful Devon countryside, with spectacular scenery, peace and quiet and nature close at hand. This time of year it’s a dream; the flowers are nodding their heads in the hedgerows, trees sway gently in the breeze, and a whole patchwork of fields is spread out across the valley, stretching out for miles and miles to meet the sky.
There are 3 gorgeous holiday cottages here, each one carefully furnished and equipped to make every minute of your stay perfect. Pippinsands was once the farmhouse and is an idyllic blend of country character and modern facilities. The thatched roof, the big front door, flagstones, original floorboards and exposed timbers are centuries old; interiors are packed with charm, giving the look and feel of a big country cottage that’s worthy of a magazine feature (even if we say so ourselves). 6 bedrooms sleep 14 guests, there’s a large garden with a play area and the added luxury of a hot tub.
Julesbrook has a more contemporary vibe that blends seamlessly with the rustic features, like hefty stone walls, quirky window openings and wooden beams. Back in the day this was farm barns used to shelter cattle, and to store hay and apples, but a very considered conversion brings it right into the 21st century as a luxury holiday house that sleeps 16 in 7 bedrooms and has a games room, movie room/living room, and a huge garden with a hot tub and play area.
And then there’s Siskins Nook, a dear little holiday cottage that sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms and has a garden with a hot tub. Still the same charm, still the same high quality of accommodation. It’s ideal for a family or for older couples who like their own space.
The beauty of having the whole site to yourselves is that you have not just free use of the three cottages and gardens, but also of a separate games room with a pool table, table football and table tennis, a grassed central courtyard, and the 15 acre grounds – all yours to roam as you wish. Have a big game of rounders in the field followed by a picnic down by the riverside, take a stroll through the meadows whenever you want to – and of course, it’s somewhere to walk the dog. Oh yes, we are dog friendly too! In total, 5 dogs are welcome – 2 in the larger cottages, and 1 in Siskins Nook.
Our holiday accommodation for up to 34 people is family friendly, and you’ve probably realised already that there’s something for all ages. We can supply a number of cots, highchairs and stairgates on request, making things easier for you. In fact, there’s a lot we can help with to make your holiday or weekend away just how you want it to be; we work with local partners who can provide catering services, entertainment, pampering and even flowers to add a homely touch to the cottages, or for a special occasion.
So if you need accommodation for an extra large group, come and enjoy the magic of Stonehayes Farm. Soak up the charm, make yourselves at home, love being together, and most of all, be happy. This is where good things happen, where everlasting memories are made❤️
