The Perfect Farm Holiday - 01803 712260
Lower Collaton Farm Holiday Cottages offer three lovely self catering cottages on a traditional old Devonshire farm, nestled in the quiet valley of the River Gara. Set in the heart of peaceful countryside it is a small working sheep farm surrounded by rolling hills where sheep and cattle graze. Perfectly placed in an Area of Great Landscape Value in the heart of the South Hams, Lower Collaton is just six miles from the coast, Dartmouth, Totnes and Kingsbridge. 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. If you are planning holidays in Devon there's nothing better than a Devon farm holiday!
The prices quoted for our self catering cottages under Availability include heating, linen and towels. There are no 'extras'! Free Wifi is available in all
cottages, and one well behaved dog is welcome in The Byre and The Stables
at a weekly charge of £20. Online booking is available through the booking
form on our availability page, or email/phone if you prefer!
The Stables (sleeps four), is a self
catering cottage sleeping four (double and twin bedrooms). It has loads of
character with the original large old beams exposed in all rooms. It is an
"upside down" house to take advantage of the views down the valley.
The Old Granary (sleeps just two)
our smallest self catering cottage is a perfectly delightful little cottage for two,
tucked into a quiet corner of the grassy courtyard. An ideal base for walkers and birdwatchers, or indeed a cosy love-nest for the romantically inclined!
Short Breaks are available from Fri-Mon and Mon-Fri.
The Byre (sleeps six), our largest self
catering cottage, is a comfortable and spacious converted barn, with three en
suite bedrooms (double, double/twin and twin), a fully equipped kitchen, and a
large living room with big sofas, exposed stonework, scissor beams, and an
old oak dining table.

Prize Winning Sheep
"Ali" has a beautiful fine fleece and won first prize at the Mid-Devon Show for Best Shetland Ewe. After producing Dickie and Dastardly in 1994 she is now retired and loves to be fed from the bucket. We have exported our fleeces to Japan, which we are quite proud about, though unfortunately not a very profitable exercise! More about the farm...
History
Before the Norman Conquest Collaton was owned by the mother of King Harold II of England. In the seventeenth century the value of Collaton was put at just £50. More about the history of Lower Collaton Farm...
