Where Country Meets Coast
At Carswell Holidays, we offer unique self-catering holiday accommodation on a working organic farm in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just minutes from the South Devon coastline. Our eight holiday cottages are right in the heart of our large working organic dairy farm, yet only a few minutes' walk from the coast path and secluded beaches, including our own private cove. Each of our cottages is unique in character and diverse in style, offering every accommodation solution from a romantic beach hideaway for two, to a family-friendly getaway and an elegant 'gentleman's residence' for ten.
Our Services
We provide a range of services to make your holiday with us truly unforgettable. Our foraging workshops, led by Trudy Turrell, offer a culinary adventure like no other, where you'll learn ancient techniques and discover the hidden treasures of nature. We also offer safari tours, activities, and local attractions to keep you entertained throughout your stay. For foodies, we have local organic produce available, as well as food hampers and recommendations for the best places to eat and drink.
Commitment to Sustainability
As a GOLD member of the Green Tourism Business scheme, we are passionate about conservation and protecting the environment.
