Knowle Farm
Child Friendly Holidays in the Heart of South Devon.
Tucked into a peaceful corner of the South Hams countryside, Knowle Farm offers a relaxed, family-friendly escape in the heart of rural Devon. Surrounded by rolling green hills and wide open skies, this charming property invites guests to slow down and reconnect — with nature, with loved ones, and with the simple pleasures of country life.
Thoughtfully designed for groups and families, Knowle Farm blends rustic character with home comforts. There’s plenty of space to gather and plenty of cosy corners to retreat to — whether that’s around the table for shared meals, out in the fresh air soaking up the views, or beside the wood burner with a book in hand.
The farm is home to a range of resident animals, adding a gentle rhythm to the days and a natural sense of joy for younger guests. Children can roam freely and safely, exploring outdoor play areas, discovering the small woodland, or simply enjoying the freedom of open space.
Whether you’re visiting to celebrate a special occasion, spend time with friends and family, or simply press pause on everyday life, Knowle Farm offers a place to breathe, unwind and enjoy a slower pace — all just a short hop from the coast and the wild beauty of Dartmoor.
Plan Your Stay
Knowle Farm is designed to make every stay feel easy, enjoyable, and effortless — whether you're gathering for a special celebration, enjoying a multi-generational family holiday, or simply taking time out in nature with friends.
Each of the 6 self-contained, 4 Star Gold cottages offers a comfortable base with everything you need to settle in from the moment you arrive. The layout of the farm makes it easy for groups to stay connected while still having their own space to relax. Shared facilities like the indoor swimming pool, soft play, tennis court, games barn and outdoor play areas are all just a short stroll from your front door — no need for car journeys or complicated logistics.
There’s plenty to keep all ages entertained, so you can plan full days out exploring Dartmoor and the Devon coast, or simply enjoy slow mornings on the farm, letting little ones run free while older guests enjoy a game of table tennis or a walk through the woods. On quieter evenings, gather for shared meals, watch the sunset across the fields, or enjoy a bit of friendly competition in the games barn.
Extras like cots, high chairs, stairgates and bed guards are available on request, and with babysitting and dogsitting offered by prior arrangement, you can even enjoy a grown-up evening out knowing your little ones (or four-legged friends) are in safe hands.
Whether you stay for a few days or a couple of weeks, Knowle Farm makes it easy to find your rhythm — and leave feeling rested, reconnected, and full of fresh air.
The accommodation at Knowle Farm includes a collection of comfortable, 4 Star Gold cottages designed with families in mind. The 6 cottages can accommodate between 2 and 8 people and each offers a relaxed, home-from-home feel, with thoughtful touches to make your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible. Built-in stair gates provide added peace of mind for those with little ones, and extras such as cots, high chairs, and bed guards are available on request.
The cottages are light, spacious, and simply styled to let the beautiful surroundings take centre stage — with countryside views, cosy living areas, and flexible sleeping arrangements to suit a variety of group sizes. Whether you’re travelling with toddlers, teens, grandparents or four-legged family members, everything has been considered to help you settle in and feel at ease.
For added support during your stay, Amy — who is DBS checked and a qualified vet — is available for babysitting and dog sitting by prior arrangement, offering a little extra freedom when you need it.
There’s plenty to keep everyone entertained at Knowle Farm, whatever the weather or age group. Start your day with a dip in the indoor swimming pool, enjoy a family game on the tennis court, or challenge each other to a round of adventure golf. Indoors, you’ll find a pool table and table tennis for friendly competition, while younger guests can let off steam in the toddler soft play area — a perfect space for little adventurers to play safely.
Outside, children can roam freely between the various outdoor play areas, explore woodland trails, and follow riverside paths that wind through the surrounding countryside. Along the way, you might meet some of Knowle Farm’s friendly resident animals — always a highlight for younger visitors. Whether it’s peaceful nature walks or energetic family games, there’s something here for every pace, every season, and every kind of getaway.
Set within 44 acres of peaceful South Devon countryside, Knowle Farm sits in a quiet pocket of Devon’s South Hams, surrounded by rolling hills and farmland, yet just a short drive from some of the region’s most loved coastal spots. It’s the kind of location that invites you to slow down and soak it all in — with winding country lanes, bird song, and big skies as your daily backdrop.
Whether you're planning hikes across rugged tors in Dartmoor National Park, picnics by the sea at some of Devon’s most beautiful sandy beaches, or slow strolls through pretty market towns, you’re never far from something special. The nearby town of Totnes offers independent shops, local produce, and a creative community spirit, while scenic drives take you to riverside villages, farm shops, and hidden coves. Rural, restful, and well connected — Knowles Farm is a place that brings the best of Devon to your doorstep.
That said, with so much to enjoy on the farm, you might find yourself happily staying put — soaking up the fresh air, exploring the woodland trails, and enjoying the natural rhythms of life in the countryside.
