🥳 Huge congratulations to Debra, the winner of our Devon County Show stay giveaway.

Debra enjoyed a getaway at Stickwick Manor & Cottages, bringing her children, Mum, uncle, and puppy with her!

Describing her time at Stickwick Manor as 'a five star stay', Debra definitely made the most of her break and we have loved seeing the photos of her and her family meeting all the animals

"The estuary shallows are alive with feeders: slow-stepping little egrets, mobs of stocky turnstones, a lone heron"

Devon sent: a short, epic train ride into the wintry wonders of the Exe estuary 🐦

The spectacular estuary is a haven for thousands of migrant birds each winter, and perfect to explore on foot and by boat

👂 Have you heard the word ’Drumbeldrone’ when in Devon?

This is the Devonian word for a bumble bee, and rather perfectly the word is onomatopoeia, a word that sounds like what it means.

The bees pictured call one of our member farms Hele Payne Farm Self-Catering, Exeter home 🐝🐝🐝

November sunsets 😍

You just can't beat a sunset at the beach, especially this time of year when you have the whole beach pretty much to yourself. These sunny days are bringing clear nights which are perfect for stargazing 🌟 Our farm is the perfect place to explore the skies after dark once the sun has given us a wonderful display.

Head over to our website to book your stay.

🤔 Did you know?

📍 Devon has more hedges than any other place in the UK. 53,000 km (33,000 miles) remain, forming a network from coast to coast that is broken only by cities, major roads, rivers and the high moors.

Even better, most of these hedges are of high quality – the county has about one fifth of all the species-rich hedges in England. Together they are of international importance, as an historical, cultural, wildlife and landscape resource. They are world class! 🪲🕊️🦋

💭 As our guests often point out, much as they value the warm welcome, fantastic local food and easy free parking, it is the unique knowledge the farming family they stay with has of their own area that guests value most.

For a really special seaside holiday pick a location near the coast and learn about the best beaches, most spectacular cliff paths, where to get the best fish supper, and much more. Want to explore the beautiful Devon countryside? Many of our farms are in the most stunning countryside and can tell you about scenic drives, walks that few will know about, the best pubs for meals and wonderful places where children can play, not to mention information on local attractions and gardens.
