A Truly Child Friendly Holiday
Knowle Farm is idyllically set in 44 acres of South Devon countryside, with fantastic family friendly facilities and lots of animals. Nestled on the doorstep of Dartmoor National Park and just 30 minutes from wonderful sandy beaches, Knowle Farm is perfectly situated to let you enjoy all that this lovely region has to offer. But with our indoor pool, soft play area, tennis court, walk-in rabbit area and friendly animals, you might not want to go out.
One of the “10 Best UK Family Farmstays” - The Guardian
We take a real pride in all we offer and this is reflected by our VisitEngland Gold Awards, Four Star rating, and our recent Rose Award for Service Excellence.
The cottages have been equipped with everything you could possibly need during your stay, with cots, high chairs and more available on request. We even have locally made ready meals and ice creams available to save you going out.

Go for a dip in our Indoor Heated Pool or play Tennis overlooking wonderful country views. Our purpose built indoor Soft Play Area with Ball Pool and lots of fun toys is incredibly popular with the little ones. In the same room are Table Tennis and a Pool Table, so the grown-ups can have fun too.
The Toddler Race Track with Walk-in Rabbit Enclosure is a firm favourite among our guests. The outer area provides an enclosed, safe play environment for young children with ride on toys and a fun tractor tyre tunnel, while the inner area houses a walk in rabbit/guinea pig enclosure. Our most recent addition is our fun 6 Hole Adventure Golf course. See our Facilities Page for more.
Friendly Animals
Let your child pat a pig, stroke a donkey, meet a sheep, walk amongst our pet rabbits and hear a cockerel crow. Don’t forget the ducks, peacock and turkeys - just open your cottage door and they'll be waiting to be fed.
Take a stroll and meet Fred & Dinky, our Kune Kune Pigs; or Robin, our miniature donkey, and his pal Pete, our Dartmoor Pony. The sheep help to keep the grass cut as they wander around the pond and river whilst buzzards soar above.
Please note that due to our free range animals we are unable to accept dogs.
