Toad Hall Cottages

Idehill Cottages

This area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty with the Heritage Coast and the towns of Sidmouth, Seaton and Lyme Regis all within a short drive, along with some lovely beaches at Beer and Branscombe. The tiny village of Farway with its ancient Church and ford is within walking distance, the City of Exeter is approximately 20 minutes drive and the market town of Honiton is 4 miles away. There is an excellent pub close by which is open all day for food and beverages.
These 3 delightful cottages are situated in a magnificent position overlooking the Coly Valley within 50 acres of private land, much of which is now a fabulous 18 hole golf course being exclusively for the use of guests staying in the cottages and also the owners who reside in the farmhouse. The views are nothing less than spectacular and even if one is not a golfer, just to sit on a hill amid this lovely peaceful setting is a very restful and enjoyable experience, during which time you might spot a wide variety of birds and local wildlife of deer, pheasants, rabbits to name but a few. The cottages are fully centrally heated, are very comfortable, have wonderful views and along with the shared grounds, each has its own personal patio/sitting out area with garden furniture and a barbecue.

Facilities (all included in the price)

The 5,638 yard golf course, completed in 2006 is not particularly long, but it is a true test of golf and challenges the golfer both in terms of accuracy, shot making and strategy. Please do not expect to find Wentworth, but it is a beautiful and entertaining course that provides an interesting game of golf during a peaceful and tranquil walk through nature.
It has splendid views from each of its 18 holes and we believe it is undoubtedly unique for a holiday cottage to have the enjoyment of a private course, particularly one of such interest and beauty. It provides a wonderful opportunity for both the keen golfer and also the total novice to "have a go" without any feeling of intimidation. The course has 6 par 3's, 3 par 5's and the unusual distinction of having a par 6, where 4 excellent shots are required to find the green. It would be most unusual if there were more than 6 to 8 people on the course at any one time and there is a good likelihood that players would actually have the course completely to themselves. A golf buggy can be hired for a reasonable fee from the owners if required. alternatively clubs can be hired and balls purchased from the local golf club
