Godford Farm is in an ideal location for visiting Devon and also West Somerset and Dorset. It is just over two miles from the market town of Honiton and ten miles from the popular coastal resort of Sidmouth and the beautiful Jurassic Coastline.
There are no shortage of things to do and see with many pretty little villages (some boasting great pubs) scattered around. Within one hour you will be on the rugged moorlands of Dartmoor and Exmoor (providing endless opportunities for walkers) and the dramatic North Devon coastline (great for watersports and surfing) is one and a quarter hours. Alternatively visit the South Devon coast which offers calmer more gentle seas and sandy beaches.
Godford Farm itself offers one hundred and twenty five acres of farmland which guests are welcome to explore, with an interesting landscape of meadows, streams, claypits and traditional hedgerows. The area is a haven for wildlife (deer, rabbits, foxes, hares, badgers, bats etc) and also ideal if you enjoy birdwatching (rare white egrets, duck, woodpeckers, pheasant, owls etc).
The Cottages have lovely views over the Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which is designated as an area unique for it small farmsteads, unspoilt character and worthy of preserving its heritage. This area is renowned for its local foods and produce and offers many good eating places including village pubs, restaurants and wine bars. There is a pub just half a mile away in village or another within one and a half miles.
