Golden Square Holiday Cottage

Welcome to Golden Square Farm and Holiday Cottage


 This is us at the top of the hill overlooking the village of Stockland in East Devon.

We moved to our smallholding from London in 2010. We wanted to have a change of life-style, try to be more self sufficient and have less impact on the environment around us. To this effect we have solar hot water in the farm house and the cottage, Solar PV panels and wood burners in both, fed by sustainable wood produced on our land.

We have a spacious 2 bedroom holiday cottage converted from a former milking parlour, which makes a great base to explore the wonderful Devon countryside and the 
Jurassic coast world heritage site or just kick back and relax in the 
cottages comfortable surroundings.



We have a small flock of Shetland sheep in our field as grass cutters with the benefit of lamb. The difference between commercially reared supermarket lamb and rare-breed slow-grown lamb is night and day. We also keep some chickens and ducks for snail and slug control and to produce wonderfully tasty free range eggs which we sometimes have available to buy (if the girls are behaving themselves and laying their eggs where we can find them). We hatch eggs to produce the next generation of layer. A newer edition to our farm are our 2 pygmy goats Olive and Thistle. They are very friendly and you may be able to spot them on the bridge or in the orchard from the decking of the holiday house. You are welcome to feed them just ask us and we will provide you with food and guidance.


We have had some lovely reviews from our guest, 
you can find more on the cottage reviews page on the cottage tab.
