Perfect for a relaxed getaway for an extended family or group of families, the Pitt Farm offers a handful of individual cottages perched peacefully out of the way on 10 acres of beautiful countryside in South Hams. On the farm, children will enjoy the farm animals (particularly running around with them!), small outdoor play area, indoor heated pool, game room and tennis court. Based at Pitt Farm, it’s easy to enjoy more family activities off property with day trips to the nearby stunning beaches and towns of Kingsbridge, Dartmouth and Totnes, where families will find cycling, horseback riding, golfing, fishing and more. In the evening, enjoy relaxing back in your living room around a log fire.

The cottages, converted from large stone-built barns, offer a variety of room configurations certain to fit most families’ needs, and extra cots are available for a fee. Each cottage features a fully equipped kitchen, living and dining area, washer and dryer, TV, DVD, phone, garden or terrace, and parking area. All but one have a dishwasher; linens are included and towels are provided for a fee. Wi-Fi is available in most cottages and in the public tours information room. (Note that fuel and phone are metered and charged on departure.)

When guests arrive, they are greeted by the owners, Pete and Sue Gray, and treated to a delicious welcome of warm scones with clotted cream and jam. Pete and Sue love their farm and go out of their way to accommodate guests and make their stay pleasurable. Pitt Farm is a part of Premier Cottages, a collection of luxury holiday complexes across the British Isles.
