At Stonehayes Farm we have gorgeous self catering cottages for Autumn breaks in the Devon countryside. What a wonderful time of year to get away for a week or a short break! The summer rush will be over, the roads won’t be so hectic, all the attractions will still be open and hopefully, it will still be warm enough for days on the beautiful beaches of the Devon coast.

Grab yourself a last minute Devon holiday cottage. The sun is shining, the birds are twittering away in the hedgerows, butterflies are flitting about and down by the river dragonflies are getting rather amorous! It’s so gorgeous at Stonehayes Farm this time of year, especially on clear days like today when you can see for miles and miles across the vast open countryside of East Devon. You should come and see it all for yourselves – we’ve got a few special offers over the summer holidays, so grab them while they’re going….

We’re quite new to this game but we’ve noticed that there’s a big demand for houses to rent for family celebrations. It seems that a lot of people choose to step away from hiring a hall for a big old bash with singing and dancing all night, and instead they’re looking to find a big holiday house in the country where they can get away for a few days with close family to celebrate that milestone birthday or anniversary.

Well, here we are enjoying a beautiful English springtime at Stonehayes Farm, even if it has been a little chilly at times. Everything is looking so lush and gorgeous now, the hawthorn blossom is out, filling the air with its heady fragrance, the hedgerows are full of cow parsley, campions and snapdragons, and up at Dumpdon Hill there are striking drifts of bluebells.
