A collection of character homes, rented together, and set on an historic Devonshire farm – this place is a dream come true. At its heart there's the manor house. An imposing place, built from local stone some 200 years ago, it's set over three floors and is the star of the show. On arrival here you can bag yourself one of the plush, en-suite bedrooms, before gathering for drinks in the formal entertaining space downstairs (there's a dining table with places for eighteen). Elsewhere, the barns have been converted, creating six one-bed cottages and suites around a shared courtyard. If you're planning a big celebration, you can also rent the enormous glass-roofed barn nearby, with its event kitchen. Around the estate you'll find all the things you'd hope for in a farm. Meet the farm animals, explore the pond and even – if the good old British weather is on your side – grab your towel for a swim in the outdoor pool.
