Little Torrington in the heart of the north Devon countryside
What our Guests Say... unsolicited thank yous
Thank you for all your hospitality and care in making our stay so lovely. We always feel so comfortable and welcomed. It is a special place.
Thank you for all the opportunities from feeding the animals, egg collecting and helping the chickens and ducks to bed in the evening :) to being able to go in and hold a
guinea pig or rabbit.
The girls learnt so much and grew in that time - getting a glimpse like this into being with and looking after our fellow creatures can't be learnt from a book.
We loved every minute, and miss it. We made wonderful memories."

"We love staying here. The cottages have everything you need and the children (and adults) enjoy feeding the animals, cleaning out and collecting eggs! There are so many things for the children to do, inside and out, and lots of space for them to play. Lots of lovely places to visit nearby, but the children are just as happy cuddling the animals and playing within the grounds and on the various toys without the need to leave!" Rachel, May 22
"Idyllic location, comfortable, charming accommodation. Wonderful for children and adults alike - just perfect" Patricia September 2020

"Excited to visit again, it was the best family holiday we have ever had, and we have never gone back to the same place, so I hope you can see what an endorsement that is!" Clare, January 2022
We had a fantastic time at Duck Cottage and can’t thank you and Laura enough for making us feel so very welcomed. Our 2 year old had a fabulous time with the animals, sit on tractors and pool.
Just brilliant 🤩

"A child's dream home! Baby animals galore, plenty of toys and activities for all ages, other children to play with, space to run around .. it was a struggle to get them to the beach!" Karen, August 2021
"Adults coming to cycle the North - South Devon cycle path .. perfectly situated, short cycle from the Route 27/Tarka Trail. Good parking, safe for bikes. Very family friendly and while we didn't travel with children we were not at all bothered by the children staying as there is plenty of room and outside space." Lindsay, June 2021
