Wheatland Farm's self catering holiday accommodation cares for your stay and the environment. Our cottage and lodges won the 2012 Visit England Sustainable Tourism award, and your Devon farm holiday will be comfortable, sustainable, relaxing and inspiring.
Stay in one of our three self catering lodges, or try Otter Cottage, by the farm pond (with wood burner).
Whether you want a base in North Devon, love nature, want to walk with your dog, cycle the glorious Devon countryside, or just relax with a book, our self catering accommodation is for you. Both North Devon and northern Dartmoor are within easy reach of our lodges and cottage, and there are lots of ideas for Devon days out on our growing blog - please add your thoughts!

Here's a few more wildlife pictures from our Devon farm this August. Delicate damselflies, Wavy St John's Wort - one of the rare flowers that makes our our Site of Special Interest nature reserve 'special'.
A bee swarm is a placid thing...
The orchids are in flower again on Popehouse Moor...
The cows are back! Here's a clip of them arriving, first time out of the farm yard, and being 'herded' across the lodge field to their new quarters...

Devon Self Catering Holiday Accommodation
Short Breaks Exploring North Devon
Holidaying with children
Walking, cycling, fishing, good food and pubs - Devon has it all. We're open year-round and offer short breaks all year apart from 6 weeks in the summer school holidays. We are in the heart of Devon yet offer incredibly peaceful surroundings. Many guests just come to relax and chill out. Order some Devon delicacies from our neighbour's farm shop or let the nearby award-winning pub kitchens take the strain! Stride out on Dartmoor, borrow our reclaimed bikes, leave the car behind for a day and go exploring on the bus, let us take you on a guided nature walk or just take your book down to the woodland pond on Popehouse Moor.
Holidays for dogs too...
Why put your dogs in kennels when they'll be welcome here at Wheatland Farm? Ask us about good dog walks - we can lend you maps too. Most Devon pubs welcome well-behaved dogs, and dogs are welcome everywhere on the farm apart from the 7 acre SSSI nature reserve. More information about bringing your pets on our 'dogs welcome' page. Come and meet Muttley!
Children love the space Wheatland Farm offers - 21 acres to explore, managed for wildlife and your enjoyment. Kids can visit the cows in summer, collect eggs from the hens, fish the small pond and play on the swings and slide. Older children particularly enjoy the free-to-borrow bikes and the mown volleyball / badminton court. North Devon's attractions are within easy reach, and after a great day, there's outdoor space for children to be out from under your feet when you're cooking - or why not all decamp to a nearby pub for a family friendly meal out. More about family holidays on our 'children welcome' page.
