The Cottages with the shared courtyardFowlescombe is a large mixed organic farm in the South Hams region just 2 miles south of Dartmoor. It is the central part of what was once an important mediaeval estate. The ancient field pattern and network of hedges is still present and it is now farmed in an environmentally sensitive way - wildlife habitat being the top priority. The farm, has arable land and grassland on which we keep pedigree Aberdeen Angus and Devon Ruby Red cattle along with rare breed sheep, goats, pigs and chickens.

We provide a ideal base for touring and walking, and are within ten miles off lovely towns such as Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Dartmouth and Totnes. The farm provides the opportunity to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the enchanting South Devon countryside with its rolling landscape and extensive wildlife throughout all 4 seasons
