Description

Located in the small hamlet of Sheldon near Honiton, Southcott Farm Cottage is a lovely, stone built, pet-friendly cottage in Devon. Set in the heart of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Beauty and with wonderful woodland walks and mountain biking routes from the door, it's a perfect rural retreat for friends, couples or a family of four. Arrive to your own dedicated parking spaces, before making your way through the neat terraced garden to the picturesque cottage. You're immediately welcomed by a newly fitted, traditional shaker style kitchen where you can prepare delicious meals for your group on the feature Rangemaster oven. The charming sitting room is the perfect spot to unwind after the day's adventures, complete with a wood burning stove for added comfort whilst you relax on the sofa with a good book or your favourite show on the TV. When it's time to rest, climb the stairs to discover two well-appointed bedrooms: a king-size room and a twin (can be super king-size on request), both served by the sparkling family bathroom where a decadent roll top bath tub is ideal to soak your cares away. During the summer months, make dinner an alfresco affair and enjoy some quality family time in the fabulous garden; here you'll find a chimnea and bubbling hot tub - it's a brilliantly social outside space to be enjoyed year round. Your canine companions are very welcome too; with access to a pretty picnic lake there's plenty of space to stretch their legs and dog walking is available on request with the friendly homeowner. Your pooches will also receive their very own welcome pack! Also available by prior arrangement - DIY stabling and livery for horses. Start your day with a stroll around the lake or try your hand at a spot of trout fishing whilst admiring your picture-postcard setting before heading to a nearby pub for a well-earned lunch. Take a short journey to Honiton, a large market town with a variety of eateries, as well as the All Hallows Museum displaying handmade lace for which the town is famous. With the beauty of East Devon on your doorstep, walkers and wildlife lovers will be in their element; there is much to do within a very short distance of the cottage including seasonal tennis and indoor swimming (subject to availability and small local fee), wander through heathland and wooded valleys scattered with nature reserves, such as Lower Bruckland Farm and Holyford Woods, whilst the breath-taking Jurassic coast is a must for unforgettable coastal paths. Devon’s award winning Blackdown Hills Dog and

Puppy park within 5 mins walk of the property. Horse-riding is available within an hours drive from the property and good golfing can be found at both Honiton and Tiverton. The Devon and Somerset Gliding Club and Dunkeswell Parachute centre are also within a short drive. Lyme Regis perfect for a family day out by the sea with the Dinosaurland Fossil Museum, Monmouth Beach and Langmoor and Lister gardens for the best picnic spots, whilst Seaton is just a little further south; pack your clubs for a game at Axe Cliff Golf Club, ride the vintage tramlines along Seaton Tramway and stop for lunch at The Hideaway overlooking the idyllic shingle beach. Southcott Farm is the perfect spot from which to discover the delights of Devon.

From the moment we opened the door and seeing a welcome pack of essentials and scones along with home made lemon cake we knew we'd made a good choice.

Amber and Nellie the labrador came to greet us and made us welcome. The cottage is superb and in such a lovely spot, the hot tub was great after a long day being tourist's. If you want a nice quiet break this is the place to come. Nothing was to much trouble for Amber. Everything you could possibly need is supplied in the cottage, oh yes, the log burner is great. Many thanks Amber for being a wonderful host, see you again soon. Paul and Pat Sept 2026

It was wonderful from start to finish.

We had a wonderful greeting by Amber then in the cottage we had everything we needed and more. Amber had left us a cream tea. ( and I am Gluten free) Amber had made me GF scones and brought me a few GF things what a treat. The jacuzzi was wonderful. We had good weather and did a lot of exploring of the area such a wonderful week. Thank you Amber for everything you are amazing
