Self catering is a lovely way to ensure your Devon holiday is a truly relaxing break. Wake up and look out over farmland and set your own timetable. In the school holidays, children love the freedom to explore safely. Outside the main holiday season couples and groups come to relax and chill out. With self catering you get your own food at your own pace - but why not order Devon pies and quiches ahead to save yourself some cooking while on hoiday? We can have local produce delivered to your accommodation from the farm shop up the road. Our lodges and cottage are pet friendly - which means your dog can come on holiday too, saving you money on kennels. There's 14 acres for dog walking! Most of the year we offer short breaks. Why not book last minute when the weather is good and escape to Devon for the weekend! Devon has great walking (we can lend you maps) and there is cycling for all abilities nearby.

Wheatland Farm is at the edge of North Devon's UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, which stretches from the edge of the catchments for the Taw and Torridge Rivers to its core at Braunton Burrows. So you'll be well placed for exploring North Devon's glorious countryside. Dartmoor is to the south, with Okehampton just 11 miles from the farm. You can borrow farm bikes, or hire mountain bikes and have them delivered to your accommodation. Explore Devon's Tarka Trail, relax at RHS Rosemoor, shop at nearby pannier markets, catch a performance organised by the Plough Arts Centre or Beaford Arts, walk - we'll lend you maps - or take a break from self catering and enjoy great local food at nearby pubs and restaurants. We're developing blogs about great days out in this part of Devon, with or without your car (please add your comments)and we also have a diary of local Devon events and details of Dartmoor guided walks near us.

They might be set in the Devon countryside, but the lodges are scandinavian designed, and extremely well insulated. That makes your holiday accommodation cosy even in winter. Beech Lodge, the biggest, has a double bedroom, a twin bedroom and a bunk room, plus a bathroom with over-bath shower and a large open plan kitchen/living area. Nuthatch and Honeysuckle Lodges offer smaller accommodation, and each have a double bedroom and a cross-over bunk room, with a good-sized open plan living/cooking area. The bathrooms have a short bath and over-bath shower. All three lodges have verandas overlooking the meadow. Otter Cottage has a double bedroom (with the best view on the farm, across the ponds) and a twin bedroom upstairs. There's a standard bathroom with an over bath shower. Downstairs, your accommodation has an open plan living /kitchen area with a wood burning stove. Click on the links above for more information and pictures about each lodge or the cottage.

We buy green electricity, from renewable resources, for all our accommodation (including our own house)and the lodges are extremely well insulated, making them cosy even in winter. All three lodges have solar hot water (with immersions for top ups). Otter Cottage has a wood-burning stove and we use our own or local well-managed wood. You can recycle most things at the accommodation, including all food waste, which goes into biodigesters. We have bikes for you to borrow (free) and we can collect you from the nearby station if you come car free. Wheatland Farm holds gold in the Green Tourism Business Scheme and gold level approval from the Devon Wildlife Trust for 2007-2008 and 2009. We run the whole farm for wildife, and one third of it, Popehouse Moor, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its culm grassland habitats and rare plants and animals. We use traditional management techniques here in consultation with Natural England and the Devon Wildlife Trust. By staying here you help make this management financially viable. We take great care over the environmental impact of both the buisness and our own lifestyles - if you want to know more, see our environmental policy read our greening blog or ask us a question.
