It is cosy, spacious and bright, ideal for large family gatherings or special occasions, and the ground floor bedrooms and bathrooms may suit guests with restricted mobility. The first floor bedrooms have balconies, ideal for enjoying that morning coffee.
They are set amidst 9 1/2 acres in a very quiet and very rural area of South Devon, tucked away along a quiet country lane and close to a working dairy farm. The leisure facilities at Higher Poulston are spacious and offer many different activities for all the family.
Featuring an indoor heated swimming pool and a separate shallow heated toddlers pool your children will never want to be out of the water. The badminton and squash courts are purpose built to a very high specification. In addition there is a snooker room, table tennis and skittles. In the grounds surrounding the cottages there are large open lawned areas, BBQ areas, a tennis court and approach golf.
All the cottages are very comfortably furnished with leather sofas and pine or oak furniture and well equipped kitchens, making your self catering holiday one to enjoy and remember. Many visitors find themselves revisiting Higher Poulston year after year. This is a very family friendly holiday complex, the ideal place for mums and dads to relax, children to have fun, and grandparents to join in too.
Away from the farm there are many interesting places to explore, the on-site tourist information room will provide plenty of ideas for days out. A mile away, the little village of Harbertonford has a small village shop, a pub and post office, and the village of Morleigh, 1 mile, has a pub serving food. The South Devon coastline, close at hand, has many beautiful beaches and coves, scenic walks and pretty villages including Blackpool Sands and Slapton just to name two in the region.
Within easy reach are the English Riviera resorts of Paignton and Torquay, the boating and sailing centre of Salcombe on the estuary and the historic town of Dartmouth nestling on the banks of the River Dart. Woodlands Fun Park is a great tourist attraction and fun day out for families or a day spent visiting Dartmoor National Park with its hundreds of acres of wild rugged moorland, both about 4 miles away.

Customer Comments

Selected comment(s) from customers who have enjoyed staying at this property:
  1. This is our 3rd visit to higher Poulston farm. we enjoy all the facilities especially the tennis court and swimming pool. It is very comfortable with everything you need for a self catering holiday. It is a little off the beaten track but as far as we were concerned a great position to visit all the places we wanted to go to. Mr and Mrs palmer are very welcoming and friendly. June 2012.
  2. Fantastic location and fantastic facilities. The leisure complex is excellent, the girls loved swimming and we enjoyed a game of tennis. Plenty of Places to visit nearby. March 2012.
  3. We had the most wonderful week’s holiday at Plough Cottage, which is based on Higher Poulston Farm. The facilities at the farm are absolutely amazing and great for our family. Our toddler ran from one activity to the next and we loved the attitude of the owners who had bent over backwards to provide everything for a great holiday - cake and fresh milk on arrival, trampoline in garden, video and DVD library, beach equipment to borrow. We can’t recommend the cottage more highly. March 2012.
  4. A warm cosy cottage. Very friendly owners and excellent facilities. Feb 2012.
  5. Fantastic place if you have small children as lots of facilities on site including swimming pool, trampolines, ride on tractor (hit with our 3 year old), pool table to name but a few! Aug 2011.
  6. The site has everything you need, even in poor weather. Good location with Paignton, Dartmouth and Totnes within easy reach. Paignton Zoo was a good day out. The boat to Dartmouth was an interesting trip although i’d recommend you do the round robin. Some lovely golf courses at a cheap price after 2 pm at Dartmouth and Dainton. Overall we had a great time and would visit again. July 2011.
  7. Very good facilities on site - great pool and sports hall, nice outdoor area for the children to play. June 2011.
  8. We loved the family atmosphere and all the things to do, such as swimming and having access to the gym. The owners were really friendly and very helpful when our young baby became ill, they gave us the details of the local doctor. Even though there were a lot of families around it was still a peaceful location. We also loved being near lots of great places to visit. April 2011.
  9. The sporting facilities. Nov 2010.
  10. Warm, well equipped, clean. Jan 2010.
  11. Comfortable and excellent amenities. June 2010.
  12. Well equipped in good condition with plenty of space. May 2010.
  13. The size was perfectly adequate for our needs and it was well presented. April 2010.
  14. All that you would need was in the cottage or in the shared laundry room and if not then the owners very happy to help. Felt a home from home place and really would not of known if other families around when in the cottage. Jan 2010.
  15. Very clean and one of the best provisioned property’s we have ever stayed in. Oct 2009.
  16. The property was very clean and had everything you needed. The owners were very friendly and helpful and we wouldn’t hesitate in visiting again or recommending to family and friends. Nov 2009.
  17. Booking on line with you was easy and secure. The accommodation was excellent - the cottage was lovely and well equipped, the site was very well looked after with lots to do despite being small and quiet. The area was beautiful with lots to do and see. Excellent for children and adults alike. Feb 2009.
  18. The owners were very helpful and friendly, and always around to ask for help and/or advice. The children loved the freedom to play outside on the trampolines, football and tennis, and when the weather wasn’t so good, indoors on the table tennis and the pool table. They also loved the farm dogs and cats. On this occasion we didn’t use the indoor pool, as we were out and about visiting local attractions during the day, and nobody really fancied a dip. However, the new pool currently being built looks really lovely and I am sure that would hold more of a lure during the warm summer months. April 2009.
  19. Facilities very impressive and accommodation well equipped. The facilities on site made the holiday very good for the teenagers we took with us, particularly as the weather wasn’t brilliant. July 2009.
  20. Great family welcome. Great place for a family holiday. March 2008.
