Collaton Farm

There’s enough great countryside and coast all around Collaton Farm to keep you busy for the whole of your stay. Messing about on the river Dart is a favourite pastime, or you could nip across on the ferry from Dartmouth to Kingswear and go for a jaunt on the Dartmouth Steam Railway. To see the sights of south Devon by bike or on horseback, check out the cycle hire options in Kingsbridge (15 minutes) or Salcombe (25 minutes) and equestrian centres at the edge of Dartmoor (30 minutes). There are plenty of watersports providers in Salcombe too, or you could just chill out on the beach (or take a visit to the gin distillery for a locally produced tipple…) Five minutes down the road from site is Woodlands Leisure Park, plus Dartmouth Golf Club and Spa. For shopping with an ethical eco vibe, head to the historic market town of Totnes (15 minutes’ drive). Or if haggling for antiques is up your street, a visit to Ashburton (30 minutes) should also be on your list.
