Lower Knapp Farm, Devon, England

Nestling in the beautiful Roncombe Valley, Lower Knapp Farm's 16 cottages and apartments provide a calm and restful retreat from the cares of the world. A Victorian building, Lower Knapp's days as a working farm are not that far behind it. Half-close your eyes, and it's easy to imagine sheep or cattle grazing in the surrounding fields, and ruddy-faced farmhands hefting hay-bales. An idealised image of bygone days? Perhaps. But once in a while, a bit of the simple life has much to recommend it.

All the properties are superbly furnished with televisions and DVD players (for which a free DVD library is available). They also have fully-fitted kitchens equipped with microwaves, and are centrally heated to offer comfortable accommodation in both summer and winter.

Central washing and drying facilities are available.

Cottages

Fourteen cottages have been beautifully converted from a Victorian farmhouse and its out buildings. The majority of these are two-storey properties and, depending on their size, the cottages can accommodate between two and six guests. This cluster of stone farm buildings perfectly complements its surroundings, nestled amongst the far-reaching rolling hills of Devon.
