About Us
Dog-Friendly, Self-Catering holiday cottages in North Devon
Welcome to Town Farm a small collection of stone-built properties centred around a cobbled courtyard. Perfectly situated within the rolling green pastures of North Devon, and within 10miles of fabulous year-round, dog friendly beaches in both north Devon and north Cornwall. We offer two dog friendly, self-catering properties; Greystones sleeps four, or if you fancy a bit more space The Grange sleeps 6. The Grange incorporates Greystones and through an interconnecting door to 'The Granary', offering a self contained suite with it's own kitchen and living space. The Grange is perfect for a multi-generation family group
Beautifully positioned on the edge of Sutcombe village, with countryside views. Greystones and The Grange are both graded 4* Gold by Visit England, equipped to a very high standard and truly dog friendly.
Town Farm is the perfect location for everyone to relax and unwind. A short drive away is the pretty market town of Holsworthy, a great place to stock up on holiday provisions. A little further away the delights of the coast await. Bude is renowned for its fabulous beaches and is a mecca for surfers. Walkers will enjoy miles of coast path and this is the best way to discover the many hidden coves, sandy beaches and dramatic clifftops of the north Devon and Cornwall coastline. Clovelly, one of the most beautiful and unique villages in the Devon with cobbled streets and flower strewn cottages has become one of the most instagramable places to visit in the UK. Boscastle is as pretty as a picture, or perhaps spend a day in Tintagel, home to the legendary King Arthur, where you can see his impressive statue overlooking the Atlantic. Walkers and cyclists alike will love exploring the many trails over Dartmoor, a fabulous place to explore at any time of year. If you are bringing your four-legged friend with you, Town Farm is a dog delight. We have green lanes, footpaths, our own woodland walk and our apple orchard, all available straight from the door to keep furry tails wagging.
We are open all-year and offer short breaks outside of school holidays.
Dog Friendly
Being dog owners ourselves, Greystones and The Grange are truly dog-friendly (not just dog tolerant!). We provide lots of throws for sofas and beds, so your four-legged friend can enjoy snuggles at the end of the day, along with an outdoor warm-water dog shower for washing off muddy or sandy paws. Our welcome pack for your four-legged friend includes: water bowl, feeding mat, dog towels, dog poo bags and handmade dog treats. Our 1/2-acre orchard is enclosed, we have our own woodland walk and Greystones / The Grange have an enclosed garden.
Additional facilities @ Town Farm
The traditional clome oven room offers access to additional storage, a washing machine, tumble dryer, freezer, two dog crates, plus a couple of pairs of wellies for you to borrow.
If you are after a bit more fun and entertainment, head across the courtyard to our games barn which offers table football, mini-pool/air hockey and a range of board games.
Outdoor facilities @ Town Farm
We offer shared access to our 1/2 acre enclosed apple orchard and woodland walk. Our apple orchard offers space for your four-legged friend to run around. You can relax on a wooden bench and enjoy the country life, with wild bird song and maybe the odd mooing cow to listen out for.
Alternatively enjoy a wander along our woodland walk, before unwinding over a BBQ, or toasting marshmallows over the orchard fire pit.
We offer ample private off-road parking, with three generous spaces.
You really could park up and just relax into country life . . .
Resident Bats
There are resident bats who live at Town Farm (four species). The bats are mainly resident between May-October, and you may see and hear the bats around sunset as they prepare to leave their roosts for night-time feeding. They return to their roosts in the early hours of the morning, around 2-3am. The Granary attic in particular is a maternity roost where pregnant bats have their babies, and you may be fortunate enough to see the young bats 'learning to fly' around our courtyard on a summer evening.
CCTV
We have three security cameras, on the front, side and back of our property.
None of the security cameras are specifically focused on the holiday accommodation, and none are located in the cottage properties.
Our security cameras cover our property, due to our rural location.
EV Car Charger
We have a 7KWh EV charger at the property, available for guests staying at Greystones or The Grange. The charger is tethered and operated by Voltshare.
