Child Friendly Holidays
Set in 35 acres of stunning Devon countryside, Lower Campscott Farm is the perfect setting for a child friendly holiday. We offer an open, safe environment that encourages kids to explore, play and socialise – giving parents the ideal opportunity to rest and recharge their batteries.
With farm activities every morning, guests are encouraged to take part. Whether you’re hand feeding the animals or taking a scenic tour of the farm during one of Farmer Tony’s tractor & trailer rides, you’ll find there is something for everyone here.
Each cottage has the option of a high chair, cot and where appropriate we have stairgates to ensure that parents have everything they need for peace of mind. Should you need them, we can also provide a changing mat, potty, loo seat and socket covers as well.
Animal Feeding & Farm Tours
Would you like to come and help us with the animal feeding? You’d be very welcome to join Farmer Tony and enjoy a hands on and child friendly farming experience. Every morning you’ll be able to help feed the sheep, pigs & goats, brush & walk our pedigree Shetland ponies and visit with the rabbits, guinea pigs and chickens. The animals need feeding every morning, so there will be plenty of opportunities during your stay to be a real farmer! Each Easter we welcome orphan lambs to the farm, so stay with us then for the opportunity to bottle-feed them. The tractor & trailer rides are popular with guests both young and old, so climb aboard for a fun and scenic tour of the farm site.
The Farm Nature Trail & Wildlife Meadow
Come and explore the farm and our signed farm trails. The wildflower meadow is a haven for butterflies and is the perfect place for an impromptu picnic where you can watch dragonflies skimming over the ponds.
Follow the farm trail as it winds its way up to the ponds where ducks and geese visit. You can say hello to the sheep on the way as they graze in their field and count how many different species of birds, butterflies and flowers you can spot.
If you fancy a walk to the beach at Lee Bay or the village pub in Lee there’s also a signposted trail across the farm towards Lee Village. The pretty streamside path takes you down through the Fuchsia valley & Yomer woods and on to Lee Bay.
Outdoor Play Area & Indoor Games Room
Our hard play area is just right for ball games and a football kick-about and ideal for youngsters on bikes, trikes and scooters. There are also ride on tractors for younger children. The grassy play area with the swings and slide always prove popular too.
Everyone can enjoy the indoor play area and can get together to enjoy a game of table tennis or pool in our games room whatever the weather!
Our big barn is available from May half term onwards and is perfect for indoor ball games and play on rainy days.
We always have a stock of DVD’s & board games to borrow, or you can help yourself to a book from the shelves in the games room.
