Browse, sample and buy from high quality producers in the glorious surroundings of Knightshayes Court. Children's event tent. Cookery demonstrations. Normal Admission Charges Apply. Runs from 11:00 to 17:00. Knightshayes Court is about 25 miles from your holiday accommodation.

Take a short break in Devon away from the crowds! Outside the peak season you can often arrive anytime Friday and leave at your leisure on Sunday (but please check with us!). Our self catering cottage and lodges are fabulously cosy and in the heart of glorious Devon countryside. Dogs are welcome. And you can often make a last minute booking when the weather looks good. Come and enjoy Devon's glorious autumns and early springs. If you've nothing planned, escape for a couple of days! Take off for a weekend of misty early mornings followed by crisp sunshine and clear skies. Stride out on Dartmoor, swish through autumn leaves in Devon's wooded combes, or marvel at the unfurling spring.

Want a romantic break in Devon? Open a bottle of wine then curl up infront of the woodburner in Otter Cottage. Buy some Devon bacon, maybe some of George's free range eggs, and next morning load up the breakfast-in-bed tray...
