South East Devon - Honiton - Farm Holiday Cottages

Farm Holidays - Spring, Summer,
Autumn and Winter Breaks

East Devon and the Villages that surround Honiton, are still primarily
agricultural areas, with tourism becoming more important.

Agriculture and farming follows a cycle of patterns that are
dictated by the seasons.

Whenever you choose to take your holiday on a farm remember that
with each season something wonderful awaits.............

Springtime is newly born animals, primroses and daffodils in meadows of lush grass. Crops are planted in newly ploughed fields. May sees woodland carpeted with bluebells. Flowering gorse and heathers on common land. The task of getting in next winters fodder begins.

Summer is flowering scented hedgerows and sweet smelling hay. The corn crops begin to ripen and turn golden. Lazy days on the beach or cycling in the lanes. Cream teas and Barbecues and warm evenings sat in the garden. Village Fetes, Agricultural and animal shows or Craft fairs.

Autumn heralds the end of the growing season. The crops are gathered in. A purple haze of heather covers moor land. Trees transform to colours of gold and bronze and shed their load. The illuminated Carnival processions get into full swing every Saturday night. Animals are brought into the farmyard into their winter home and start on the fodder that has been gathered through the summer for them.

Winter is when nature takes a rest and life is at a slower pace, with cosy log fires, sparkling frosts and the odd snow flurry. Time to take stock and plan for next years seasons.

Short breaks taken in winter, spring or autumn,
take advantage of the changing views over the countryside and rural areas - each season is totally different.

To walk over the farm and to view the farm animals, please remember to pack your wellingtons, as we are in a river valley and our fields can be sticky at times!
