Set at our 60-acre farm, Sadlers Cottage sleeps six and up to two infants, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and unwind. The master bedroom has a luxurious en-suite, while the family bathroom has the option of being an en-suite for the second bedroom. Each super king-size bed is adorned with Egyptian cotton bedding and has the added comfort of a plush topper. Every room can be either a twin or double, depending on your requirements.
The open-plan kitchen, diner and lounge area means everyone can spend quality time together, without feeling cramped. Kick back on the super comfy sofas and open the French doors to take in the country air. Here, the garden and patio area offer the ideal place for al-fresco meals or parties. Fire up the barbecue and sink into the hot tub with a chilled glass of wine for the ultimate luxury experience. Your beloved dog is also welcome to join you on holiday, free to roam through the enclosed garden.
In the cooler months, Sadlers Cottage is incredibly cosy. Relax in front of the bespoke electric wood-burner effect fire and gather to watch a film on the LCD TV on a rainy day. For indoor activities nearby, head to the play barn. We have facilities for table-tennis, table-football, pool and basketball, as well as a our small indoor heated plunge pool, please refer to opening times.
The stunning beach at Westward Ho! is just a three-minute drive away. If you'd rather enjoy a leisurely 20-minute stroll into the village over cliff tops and fields, the South West Coast Path is just moments from Duckhaven Stud. Don't forget your swimming costumes and body boards! Westward Ho! is the ideal place to catch a few waves. If there are any keen surfers in the group, the local surf school offers classes, as well as board and wetsuit hire.
When it comes to food, there's no better place to be. Westward Ho! is packed full of exciting eateries, serving Italian, Moroccan and classic British fare as well as delicious, fresh seafood. The village's independent shops have so much local produce on offer if you'd rather cook back at Sadlers Cottage. But if you don't have the energy to cook after a day at the beach, don't worry. We can send our executive chef and his team to your five-star cottage to cook a delicious menu, just for you.
We want you to feel totally relaxed on your group holiday, so tuck into a complimentary Devonshire cream tea when you arrive. If you need any help planning your trip or want to add any extras, get in touch with our friendly team, we'd be delighted to help.
