The Perfect Rural Hideaway
Lower Collaton Farm is a traditional old Devonshire farmhouse, dating back to Domesday and before, nestled in the valley of the River Gara. Set in the heart of peaceful countryside it is surrounded by rolling hills where sheep and cattle graze. It is a small working sheep farm with hens and ducks running in the courtyard. Perfectly placed in the heart of the South Hams, Lower Collaton is just six miles from the coast, and under twenty minutes from Dartmouth, Totnes and Kingsbridge, as long as you’re not stuck behind a tractor! The gardens of Agatha Christie’s Greenaway on the River Dart and the D’Oyle Carte’s Collaton Fishacre (both National Trust) are close by. Walkers can trek from Collaton or take a short drive to Dartmoor or the South Devon Coastal Path.
Rosie and James offer quality B&B in The Farmhouse, with three en suite bedrooms and facilities for families. Guests have the use of a walled rose garden in the summer. Free internet Wifi is available.
The Stables, which sleeps four, has the original large old beams exposed in all rooms. It is an “upside down” house to take advantage of the views down the valley. ** Also newly available this year is The Byre, the same but larger, sleeping six with three en suite bedrooms. Photos etc on the website soon. please ring or email to check availability.
The Old Granary is a perfectly delightful little cottage for two, tucked into the corner of the grassy courtyard. An ideal base for walkers and birdwatchers, or indeed a cosy love-nest for the romantically inclined! Winter Short Breaks are available.
