“We have recently enjoyed a lovely stay at Southcott Farm Cottage.”

The cottage is cosy & furnished to a high standard. The beds are so comfortable. One of the first self catering cottages we have stayed in that provided shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, & hand wash in the bathroom & kitchen & enough toilet rolls to last our stay. Also the kitchen is well equipped. On our arrival Amber had kindly left scones, cream & jam (delicious) milk, butter, bread, biscuits & granola. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate & an assortment of various teas were also provided. There ...

Dogs are also catered for with towels, bowls, dog treats & dog tags. Amber is very welcoming & is happy to provide information on the local area. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub before sitting in the lounge in front of the log burner. I can highly recommend the cottage especially if you have pups like us.

Jayne August 2024

“Access for us wasn’t great.”

Perfect for dog owners, but unfortunately the strong smell of dog from the carpet did detract from how nice the rest of the property was. A very generous welcome basket which we thoroughly enjoyed and a very well equipped cottage with everything you need.

- Jayne, August 2024

Hi, I’m so sorry the access was difficult for you, there are steps down to the property, however we do welcome access via the side gate if mobility is an issue at all. I’m really sorry there was a dog smell from the carpet, I don’t believe this has been highlighted before and I think it is probably noticeably to non dog owners but I hate to think that would detract for non dog owners,, please be assured a new hoover with deep cleaning for pet odours has been purchased so hopefully this will negate any issues for future guests both dog owners and non! I’m glad you enjoyed the property in the main and sorry you didn’t get the 100% experience I aim to offer guests to the cottage. Property Owner

It is such a beautiful peaceful location. The cottage had everything thing you could wish for. It was very dog friendly and there was lots of outside space for the dogs to roam around. The bed was super comfy and we slept like a log. The hot tub was nice to soak in after a days walking.

“Southcott cottage is lovely,we had 3 dogs and Amber really provided for them ...”

Southcott cottage is lovely,we had 3 dogs and Amber really provided for them with treats,towels and food bowls the cottage was spotless and welcoming with a log burner and every thing we could possibly need including a cream tea on arrival the only small hitch is the cottage would not be suitable for anyone with walking disabilities as there are lots of steps I would recommend it to anyone who wants a peaceful holiday in a lovely setting

- Rosina, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted you had a relaxing weekend and that you had an enjoyable time with the dogs. so sorry you found the steps a little difficult, I do hope you managed to avail yourself of the side access when required.

Steffani October 2023

“We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Southcott Farm Cottage!”

We were very welcomed by Amber and Nellie when we first arrived. Amber showed us around and left us to it. All the little touches made our stay special; home made scones, doggy treats, blankets for the sofas(our dogs like to snuggle by us while watching TV and Amber and Kevin understood that!) Amber and Kevin were always happy to help; we needed a spare crate, a stair gate and a mop and bucket to clean the mucky paw prints(just a text to Amber and it was brought over to us). We all enjoyed the walks on the land, especially the pond. Nathan and Katie took the rowing boat out and the dogs loved to swim around trying to catch them! The enclosed field was a win too, it was so lovely to get up in the morning, take a couple of steps and let the dogs run around first thing. This cottage has literally everything you could ask for..and more! We will be booking and visiting again in the very near future. Thanks again to Amber, Kevin and Nellie! - Steff, Carl, Nathan, Katie and the puppies; Xena, Luna and Athena(hopefully we will be joined by Cooper next time too)

- Steffani, October 2023

Delighted to have you stay with us, thank you for choosing Southcott Farm Cottage and we would love to welcome you back and hopefully Cooper as well. Property Owner

“Thank you to Amber & Kevin, for a lovely Cottage to stay in for the week.”

Sadly our arrival time was delayed by several hours due to car trouble. Amber & Kevin had no problem with this & even left us a welcome de stress treat in the fridge! Along with a lovely welcome basket of goodies. The gluten free scones were a lovely touch, as well as making sure I had some dairy free milk was very kind of you too. The Cottage is lovely & quiet & well stocked with more than expected. We bought our own games to play and was happy to see a cupboard full of games too. We have friends/family that live in, Cullompton & so it was lovely that they were able to join us for an evening of BBQ, games & hot tub. We enjoyed the local walks & going to see the horse just up the lane. They really helped to build Joshua's confidence around animals. A nice relaxing week had by us all. Thank you. Paul Julie & Joshua

“Loved this cottage!”

Amber was the perfect host, she was there is needed, but didn’t invade your privacy. You couldn’t be made to feel more welcome, lots of personal touches. We had 4 dogs and 2 young grandchildren, and we were all welcome! The weather wasn’t on our side, but it didn’t matter, as the hot tub was used tai or shine, and in July we was able to make use of the wood burner! We had a fabulous week!

Richard July 2023

“We were in need of a relaxing break, Southcott farm cottage has that in bucket fulls.”

Beautiful countryside, lovely well stocked cottage, everything you could need but more importantly want, a wonderful hot tub to relax in and watch the stars from, the log fire ready to light, which was fabulous! The lake to relax by and fish should you wish, the sheep moving around the fields.. the list goes on! But what it also has... is the most wonderful host. Amber and of course the gorgeous Nellie! To be greeted after a long journey in such a lovely way was just so wonderful, thank you! Then to find the lovely cream tea waiting for us in the cottage, not to mention the welcome hamper for both us and our puppy! There really is nothing that Amber has thought about to make your stay as special as it can be. Thank you so very much. Richard, Kerrie, Grace, Alice and Jasper

“This is an amazing cottage if you are looking for peace and quiet.”

The only sound is the birds singing. Amber made us very welcome as did the lovely Nellie. We sat down by the pond and watched Nellie help Kevin clear the weeds which was very entertaining.

Beautiful woodland dog-walks nearby. Good road access to beaches further afield. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners, as was our dog.

Steven February 2023

“Family of four - two adults and two young children.”

We had a wonderful break at Southport Farm Cottage, which, whilst rural, is perfectly located for good access to all that Devon and Dorset has to offer. Our host Amber, was very welcoming, with excellent communication throughout the stay and was on hand to support were needed. A minor issue following a power trip was quickly addressed with minimal fuss. Amber goes the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable, providing an ample welcome pack including breakfast items and freshly baked scones, jam and cream; and access to ample firewood for the log burner. Doggy treats, dog towels and extra towels for the hot tub were also provided, making our stay even more comfortable. A personal highlight was the lack of light pollution allowing for late night hot tub soaks under fantastic starry skies. Thanks Amber (and Nellie the dog) for making us most welcome. We would, without hesitation, visit again and recommend to friends and family. Thanks S & L.

- Steven, February 2023

Thank you so much for choosing Southcott Farm, it was a pleasure to welcome you all, delighted you had a fun and relaxing time. Lovely to see everyone (dogs included) enjoying themselves. We look forward to seeing you again sometime in the future. Property Owner

Elizabeth November 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage.”

A lovely place for a 'get away from it all' escape. The cottage is beautifully decorated but feels very homey and cosy. Everything you need for self catering is provided, with a very well equipped kitchen. The beds are very comfortable and have nice quality bed linen and good pillows. It was also extremely dog friendly with throws provided for sofas and no restrictions. The owners are friendly and helpful without being intrusive and responded immediately to any problems. Our dogs were allowed to use the adjoining field which was appreciated for early morning and late evening runs. There is miles of woodland surrounding the property. There is a forest walk very close by and more forest walks within one or two miles drive which are all suitable for long off lead walks for lively dogs. The hot tub is the icing on the cake, lovely for a soak looking up at the stars after a days walking.

- Elizabeth, November 2022

Thank you for choosing our cottage, so glad you had a relaxing time and hope to welcome you back for some wild swimming in the lake when a little warmer. It was a pleasure to have you as guests. Property Owner
Sharon October 2022

“This was a last minute booking and Amber was very accommodating.”

The welcome pack on arrival was amazing with everything to get us started, she had thought about the children and what they may like. The cottage is well equipped if you are looking to self cater or equally well placed for local pubs for evening meals or takeaways. We all loved the hot tub which was a nice treat! Location wise it's a great base to explore Devon and Dorset. We enjoyed some trips into Dartmoor National Park to see the wild ponies and other animals. Children's activities would recommend the miniature pony centre in Dartmoor, Go Ape at Haldon. There's a lovely walk to the Avon Dam where you can also see the wild pigs. We all had a nice relaxing break away - thank you!

- Sharon, October 2022

Lovely to have you and the family visit, delighted you had a fun and busy time exploring. Missy Sheep is on her way back to you and we would love to welcome you back again in the future. Thank you. Property Owner

How lovely to host you and your friend and I am so glad you had the total break and chill that you were hoping for, thank you for choosing us and we hope to see you again one day. Property Owner

There is nothing to fault with either the property or the hosts. Amber and Kevin made our holiday perfect.we will definitely stay again (and again and again)

“You can see the care and thought that’s gone into this cottage.”

It has everything you need and more. What a lovely surprise finding wonderful scones with jam and cream, milk, bread butter and more. The dog also had plenty of treats too and the idea of the extra dog tag with cottage address on was very good. The hot tub was a treat after returning from a long dog walk. I would recommend the cottage it’s in a beautiful part of Devon and a beautiful cottage. The owners even though they live next door are not intrusive at all. I will be rebooking.

“What an amazing cottage.”

Made very welcome by Amber and Kevin. The welcome goodies were very much appreciated, even goodies for our 2 poochies. The cream tea on arrival was to die for and it was the best we had all holiday. Southcott cottage was a perfect base to visit other areas of Devon and Cornwall, and when we got back after a day out we had a soak in the hot tub which was heaven. Super dog friendly. We have stayed in many cottages throughout the UK and Southcott was by far the best. We shall be recommending this cottage to everyone we know because in our opinion everyone should experience Southcott Cottage. Very quite location which was perfect for us.

You are so very kind, thank you. delightful guests and adorable pooches. We are so pleased you chose Southcott Farm cottage and we look forward to welcoming you and your friends back in the future. Property Owner

“Perfect!….”

We were looking for a countryside setting to relax, walk the dog and a base from which to venture out each day. We found exactly that. From our pre holiday message, warm scones and cream tea on arrival our hosts were both friendly and extremely accommodating. Local recommendations, the use of land and the property were all part of the unwritten “package”. We were all made to feel very welcome including our young Vizsla. The cottage was of a high standard and well equipped. And the hot tub was fab, even in the rain!

“The owners were very welcoming and friendly on our arrival, giving us information about the surrounding area and which fields we could exercise the dogs in.”

There's even a pond if you fancied a bit of swimming! The cottage was lovely and relaxing and provided us with everything we needed. The welcome pack was amazing and even the dogs weren't left out, provided with a jar of dog treats! Loved the idea of the dog tags too with the contact details on :) We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the thoughtfulness the owners provided - we will definitely return one day !

“What a lovely place to rent we couldn’t fault your lovely cottage, it’s very rare that places take 3 dogs and the way you think about things like dog tags and towels spot on.”

It’s a shame I live in Devon and only 8 miles away otherwise I would definitely stay again . My family loved it so they might book again in the future. I wish you all the best with your new adventure and carry on with what your doing. We loved the way you supplied breakfast not many places do that. Perfect place for a short stay or even a long stay perfect in every way . Thank you
