Nine stunning cottages set in 30 acres of private grounds
Whatever the season, you'll find a warm welcome awaits you at family-run Newhouse Farm Cottages, a rural retreat of 9 cottages set in 30 acres of courtyard gardens, organic fields and woodland in the heart of Devon. The Grade II listed stone barns have been converted to a high standard without losing the character of the buildings, which are full of original features such as stone walls, exposed wooden beams and roof trusses.
Our award-winning cottages are 5* rated by our guest reviews on Trip Advisor as well as being commended in the Visit Devon Tourism Awards. We’re an accredited Dark Sky Friendly Business with Exmoor National Park and thousands of stars, constellations, planets and the Milky Way are clearly visible in the skies above us.
Whether you're looking for a romantic break, a memory-making family holiday or a friends and family get-together, Newhouse Farm Cottages is the perfect venue. We can sleep up to 47 guests at any one time, have a wheelchair accessible barn (The Linhay) and we're dog friendly too. For large groups our function room, The Hayloft, is available for dining, meeting and partying, which means that everyone can come together when they want and return to the privacy of their own cottage for rest and relaxation when needed!
If you're looking for a venue for your corporate team-building event, a sports club tour, or a yoga or holistic retreat please do get in touch and we'll do our very best to accommodate your requirements. Please take a look at our site plan to get an idea of the layout here and floor plans can be seen on the individual cottage pages.
Debbie, Stuart, Keith and Doreen look forward to welcoming you to Newhouse Farm Cottages at any time of the year for a holiday or short break.
Trip Advisor Review - September 2025
“We had exclusive use of Newhouse Farm Cottages and what a perfect venue for a celebration. It far exceeded our expectations. The cottages are immaculate and very well equipped, the location peaceful and the games room had everything we needed. Outside there is so much to explore and the children loved the mud kitchen, playground and trampoline. The swimming pool and crazy golf were a big hit with everyone and the Hayloft is perfect for the evenings when we all got together (40 people). Can’t wait to return."
Trip Advisor Review - August 2025
"Our third holiday at Newhouse and it won’t be our last. We had 2 cottages and our ages range from 91 to 10. Everyone enjoyed the putting course, games room and lovely walks. The pool and trampoline were firm favourites and the booking system works very well for the pool and games room. The cottages are very well stocked, very clean and comfortable. We love the layout of the site and the walks down to the duck pond. We saw deer in the evenings and heard owls. The site is beautifully maintained and peaceful and I am missing the views. Debbie and family are very welcoming and friendly. Thank you for a super holiday."
An idyllic setting in the heart of rural Devon

Set amidst unspoilt countryside Newhouse Farm Cottages offers a sense of incomparable peace and unrivalled tranquillity from the moment you arrive. Footpaths wind steeply down to the lake and tributary of the Little Dart River, offering quiet corners and picnic spots. As the land isn't actively farmed and is free from pesticides and fertilisers, we have an abundance of wildlife – including resident barn owls, badgers, hares and deer.
