A cottage at Primrose Farm gives you a kitchen, outdoor space and a countryside setting near Upottery. All three sleep four. Choose a holiday idea below, then compare the cottages for the bedroom and bathroom arrangement that fits your party.

Choose the cottage around your plans

For a stay for two, all three cottages offer a double bedroom and the space of a two-bedroom property. Our couples page also covers honeymoons and mini-moons. For family holidays, the position of the twin bedroom and the stairs will often make the choice clearer.

Stargazer and Greenfields welcome up to two dogs. Read dog-friendly stays for the cottage rules and how to plan outings with them.

Walking, fishing and wildlife

Walking holidays connect the cottage stay with routes around Honiton and the Blackdown Hills. Fishing holidays focus on the carp lake at Primrose Farm, reserved for guests.

For nature outings, compare woodland and wetland destinations on our wildlife page. The birdwatching page gives more detail on reserves, seasons and dog restrictions.

Pick your time of year

Our seasonal guide explains how local outings change through spring, summer, autumn and winter. Use the booking search for the dates offered, and About your stay for the practical cottage information.

A stay on a working farm

For some guests, the place itself is as much a part of the holiday as the days out. See life at Primrose Farm, from the collies and rescue ponies to the lambing and shearing seasons. Julie and her family look after the cottages alongside that daily work.
