This month we want to tell you about one of our favourite places near Stonehayes Farm – Otter Valley Ice Cream & Field Kitchen at Monkton near Honiton. When you come to stay at our family friendly and dog friendly Devon holiday cottages you’ll find plenty to see and do nearby but this place is only down the road and it should be high on your list. Delicious food and ice cream with views over the beautiful Otter Valley; what’s not to like about that?

In line with the government announcement on 22nd February 2021 we can welcome guests to our holiday cottages near the beach in Devon from April 12th**. This will be for single households and support bubbles, until 17th May when two households or support bubbles, or 6 individuals will be allowed to stay at self catering holiday accommodation in England. Then, as Mr Johnson set out in his speech today, hopefully, by 21st June there will be no limitations on social contact and we’ll be open for good! Woo-hoo! Come on down!

Well, if you’re looking for the perfect summer holiday cottages in Devon for 2021, now’s the time to book. The Health Secretary suggests that people should plan for a great British summer rather than think of going abroad just yet; he’s also revealed that he’s booked his summer holidays in the West Country already, so if he’s thinking positive…

As we’re all under stay at home orders again and the cottages here at Stonehayes Farm are closed we thought we’d pick up where we left off with our Lockdown Lookabout, helping you to find things to do on your holidays in Devon. Something to look forward to when you’re down here staying, something to plan ahead for when days are brighter and we’re someway back to normal. So come along, come with us to Wildwood Devon, which in our opinion, is one of the best family attractions around.

There are lots of groups of cottages to rent in the UK but finding something that has everything you need isn’t as easy as it seems. We believe we have the answer here at Stonehayes Farm; tucked away in our own little world in a quiet corner of Devon we have 5 gorgeously homely holiday cottages sleeping 4-14. Book them all to sleep 34 or have as many as you need.

If you missed out on the summer rush and are still in need of a holiday this year, come to Stonehayes Farm for peaceful and relaxing winter breaks in the UK. Things went crazy when the holiday sector was allowed to open up again and holiday cottages throughout the country were fully booked in no time for the summer holidays and into autumn. We can’t believe how busy we are but we don’t mind one bit because it’ so exciting to see guests enjoying their stay at our gorgeous Devon holiday cottages.

This week we’re continuing our Lockdown Lookabout from our family friendly holiday cottages in Devon, only this time we’re not going anywhere. We’re staying right here at Stonehayes Farm, because sometimes it’s good to appreciate what’s on your doorstep and with 15 acres of unspoilt countryside we’ve got a lot to be grateful for. This time of year it’s absolutely beautiful – even more so with the glorious weather we’re having, plenty of daylight hours, blue skies, blazing hot sunshine. Come and see….

Welcome to the latest blog for Stonehayes Farm, where our family friendly holiday cottages in Devon remain closed to guests under government guidelines. In the meantime, we’re going to carry on with our Lockdown Lookabout, where we can tell you about some of the wonderful things to see and do near here. This time the focus is on one of our favourite places and one of the biggest family attractions in this neck of the woods – the Donkey Sanctuary, Sidmouth.

If you go up to the big car park in Hemyock on a Tuesday evening, chances are you’ll find Marc Jerem there with his SOUL FOOD van if the weather’s not too foul. Chances are there’ll be a queue there too, and sometimes, a bit of a street party atmosphere. Hemyock might only be a village on the Blackdown Hills but on a Tuesday night, man, it’s got SOUL. If you’re staying in one of our Devon holiday cottages at Stonehayes Farm you can have a piece of that because the other thing that Marc does is private catering.
