The summer holidays so quickly drew to a close (where did they go??), it’s time to look ahead to the coming months. Our large cottages in Devon for autumn breaks are perfect for so many things – for days away with friends and family, for walking holidays, refined ladies weekends, self-catering corporate stays and family celebrations.

This month we thought we’d tell you about Old Trickey’s Flower Farm, a few miles up the road from Stonehayes Farm. Working closely with the seasons, they grow sustainable flowers and foliage to use in hand tied arrangements and posy jars, and they host bouquet workshops. Think of it as a very special extra to your large group stay at our Devon holiday cottages – especially if you’re celebrating a significant birthday or anniversary.

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.

It’s late June and it’s time for the big reveal, so without further ado – meet Julesbrook, our newly converted holiday house for 16 guests with a games room and hot tub. Off the beaten track in the Blackdown Hills, this is a very special place to stay, surrounded by beautiful Devon countryside. Think big open skies, think birdsong and wholesome fresh air.

One of the best things in life is spending time with family and friends, so if you haven’t booked to go abroad this year, take a look at our large holiday houses with hot tubs for summer 2024. Enjoy a few days away catching up, reconnecting and making memories that will always make you smile. Our luxury cottages are baby and toddler friendly and dog friendly; here at Stonehayes Farm there’s something for all ages.

There are some occasions in life that just have to be marked. Have a get-together to remember at our pet friendly cottages in Devon for family celebrations. It might be a special birthday, a momentous anniversary, an engagement or a graduation; either way our luxury holiday houses are the perfect backdrop and Stonehayes Farm is the perfect location.

Coming soon to Stonehayes Farm in Devon is Julesbrook, a spacious and stylish holiday house for 16 with a hot tub and games room. Julesbrook is a conversion of our 3 smaller holiday cottages – Dippers Rest, Wagtail Corner and Pipits Retreat, so sadly, we’ve now said goodbye to them and work has started on the transformation to a luxury large group holiday house.

If there’s one thing that makes us all really happy here at Stonehayes Farm it’s reading the reviews for our Devon holiday cottages. It means the world to us when we know that people love staying here, and of course it’s important to our future guests, so we thought we’d share with you some of the wonderful comments from our feedback.

The trees are going up as we write, the fairy lights are twinkling and it’s all looking very festive and lovely in our dog friendly Devon holiday cottages. There’s just one thing that remains - to wish you all a stonking great Merry Christmas from Stonehayes Farm!

Well, autumn is well and truly with us now, which means that winter isn’t far behind, so now’s the time to book holiday cottages for Christmas and New Year, taking advantage of our Special Offers. You’ll have the perfect country Christmas, tucked away in the Devon countryside in perfect cosiness; think gorgeous festive decorations, twinkly lights, and the wood-burner to keep you warm.
