The Story Behind Our Historic Devon Holiday Home
Every great property has a heritage, and Homecroft House is no exception. This beautiful 100 year old Devon holiday home is nestled deep within the tranquil heart of the Mid Devon countryside. It provides an authentic slice of rural English life while offering complete seclusion and breath taking rural views.
In the crisp winter months, when the trees naturally lose their foliage, guests can look out to see the majestic peaks of Dartmoor rising 20 miles away. During the lush, green summer months, the view shifts to reveal the picturesque top of the village church spire just a quarter of a mile away.
This is a calm and peaceful place, yet it is vibrantly connected to the natural rhythms of the countryside. The surrounding fields and large landscaped gardens are teeming with local wildlife. Early risers are frequently treated to sightings of deer, badgers, foxes, rabbits, squirrels, hares, stoats, weasels, and even the occasional adder basking in the grounds. Adjacent to the garden, you will find friendly geese in the neighbouring field and resident hens in a large compound producing beautiful fresh eggs that guests are welcome to collect for breakfast.

Exploring Mid Devon from Your Base at Our Devon Holiday Home
Most tourists visiting the South West of England flock directly to the crowded north or south coasts of Devon, or spend their time in the busy university city of Exeter. However, the true hidden gem of the region is Mid Devon, a stunningly beautiful agricultural area that boasts one of the best climates in England.
Staying at this central Devon holiday home places you just a ten minute easy walking distance from the historic Doomsday Book village of Cheriton Fitzpaine. This charming village features a vibrant community shop and two excellent local pubs serving authentic regional food and drink. As a Scotsman running this property, I can remark without a single hint of irony on the wonderfully unique and charming accent you will encounter when chatting with the welcoming locals!
Mid Devon offers an incredibly authentic countryside experience. Here, you will find:
Traditional market towns hosting regular farmers markets
Excellent farm shops packed with fresh, local produce
Breath taking rural views and the finest gentle walks along single track, tree canopied lanes in England
Local Activities and Day Trips
For those who want to venture further afield, our website lists an extensive selection of local adventures, including horse riding, paint balling, indoor climbing, JCB driving, fishing, and sailing.
Culture and sports enthusiasts can easily access Exeter, which features touring theatre groups, celebrity presentations, and high level sports. You can watch the Exeter Rugby Club, which famously transformed from playing on local cow pat farmers fields into a powerhouse of European rugby in less than a decade. Alternatively, enjoy a nostalgic match day experience at Exeter City Football Club, offering highly entertaining football as it was before it became a massive global business.
Iconic regional destinations such as Rick Steins famous seafood restaurants in Padstow, Cornwall, or the world leading Eden Project in St Austell are also within a scenic one and a half hour drive.
