Welcome to Brooklands Farm Cottages

Nestled in the grounds of the 500-year-old Brooklands Farmhouse, in a quiet rural East Devon lane, sit three quirky, comfortable and characterful cottages, each boasting their own hot tub in a private courtyard, ideal for relaxing after a day exploring the local area. There are two great pubs within walking distance, both of which serve delicious food, as well as the well-reputed Greendale Farm Shop for all your fresh produce. Guests are guaranteed a very warm welcome by hosts Katharyn and Ben and, along with their cavapoo, Freddy, they are happy to welcome your (well-behaved) dogs too.

The three cottages, Garden View, Owls, and Poppies all boast characterful exposed timber beams and are well equipped, catering for 2, 3 or 4 people.

Perfectly situated for touring Devon, the cottages can be found on the outskirts of the pretty village of Woodbury Salterton. The historic and charming cathedral city of Exeter is just 5 miles and for an abundance of water sports and two miles of unspoilt golden sands, is the coastal town of Exmouth, gateway to the Jurassic Coast, just 8 miles away. For walkers and cyclists, the multiple hectares of heathland that make up Woodbury Common is just a few minutes drive, offering extensive footpaths and trails, cycle routes and far-reaching, stunning, views across the East Devon landscape. Also easily accessible are the national parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor, along with the many bays and beaches along the south and east Devon coastline.

For families with young children, attractions such as Crealy Adventure Park, Bicton and the Donkey Sanctuary are all just a short drive and there are impressive National Trust properties throughout Devon and the neighbouring counties. Thanks to several soft-play centres and cafés around, the smallest members of your tribe will even be entertained on the wettest of days.

Each cottage has a private hot tub. It is cleaned, refilled, heated and treated ready for your use. However, due to the number of people that may use it during your stay and the duration of each use, combined with variables like the sunshine and sun/body lotion, the water is subject to becoming unbalanced and we strongly encourage all guests to please use a common sense and vigilant approach to using the hot tub by following the hot tub guidelines as outlined beside each tub.

If other guests have departed on the day of your arrival, the hot tub may not be ready for use until the next morning after your arrival, to allow for cleaning, refilling and preparation of the tub water. We do endeavour to have every hot tub ready for new guests check-in but ask for your understanding and patience if we haven’t been able to fulfil this. 

 If you don’t think you will use the tub please let us know, as we are very environmentally conscious and would not want to waste the water and resources!

 A gentle but serious reminder – Hot tubs can be very dangerous for children. Children can overheat quickly and without being aware. We ask that children, of any age, use the tub under strict supervision at all times and regularly ‘sit out’ to avoid overheating.

Please avoid playing with the rubber duck if there is one in the water. It is helping to maintain water quality.
