In and around Higher Chilverton Farm
Jackdaws Cottage is situated on a working 150 acre sheep, cattle and arable farm with walks around ponds, pastures and woodland.
Explore the beauty of the immediate area either on foot, on bike or perhaps on horseback. The roads have very little traffic so are safe for walking and exploring the local countryside.
Higher Chilverton farm is a haven for wildlife: it is home to buzzards, owls, deer, woodpeckers, wild ducks, foxes, badgers and much more! One of our visitors observed over 35 bird species around the farm. Jackdaws Cottage is the ideal base for taking in the local villages, really relaxing and enjoying the rolling hills of Mid Devon.

North Devon
From the vast unspoilt expanses of Exmoor to its endless sandy beaches and charming
seaside towns and villages, North Devon makes for the perfect cottage holiday getaway.
Discover the beauties of this tranquil landscape for yourself with one of Go2's holiday lets or
cottages in North Devon. Wild and rugged, Exmoor is great for walking, riding and
cycling. This is Lorna Doone country, where farmers have battled the elements for
centuries. The coastline here is truly spectacular and is a real highlight. Walk the Coastal Path, and you’ll be treated to stunning views of high cliffs dropping straight to the sea, or to small coves far below. Beach lovers will also enjoy a holiday in North Devon. Resorts like
Woolacombe and Saunton offer long stretches of sandy beach that are ideal for surfing
and sailboarding. Clovelly is a real beauty spot, and very picturesque, while Appledore
is a picture-perfect fishing village. Ilfracombe is a more traditional seaside resort, but is not overly-commercialised, while the twin towns of Lynton and Lynmouth have an atmosphere all their own. Don’t miss the wonderful water-powered funicular railway here.
South Devon
Justly famous as one of England’s finest destinations, South Devon has everything
you need for the perfect cottage holiday. Go2 has an extensive collection of holiday lets and cottages in South Devon, all ideally located for the many attractions on offer here. The fabulous
coastline, stretching from Sidmouth to Plymouth is the main draw here. There are
glorious beaches, mysterious estuaries, rugged cliffs and sandy coves to explore,
as well as the famous English Riviera. Taking in the resorts of Torquay, Paignton
and Brixham, it offers all the facilities you need for a great seaside cottage holiday.
Or if you prefer somewhere quieter on one of our South Devon holidays, there
are the Georgian charms of Sidmouth, or Salcombe, long a favourite with sailors. Inland,
you can get away from it all in the rugged splendours of Dartmoor National Park
or just enjoy the rolling hills and rural delights of the South Devon countryside.
Make time for a visit to Exeter, the bustling capital of the region, with its cathedral,
cobbled streets and wide selection of shops. Or step back in time to the Elizabethan
age in Totnes with its charming tudor houses.
