- Windover Farm Cottage is part of a 15 acre smallholding. Save you scraps and feed them to the rare breed Gloucester Old Spot pigs, admire the various breeds of hens and watch the geese and ducks as they paddle around.
- The old dairy is available for your extra storage requirements (such as bikes, push chairs etc). It also homes a variety of outdoor play equipment including a sand pit, ride-on toys for toddlers and also a variety of bats and balls, cricket stumps and goal posts to keep the children amused as you enjoy the sun and relax on the lawn.
- The peanut and mixed seed feeders, home-made fat balls and dried meal worms attract a huge quantity of garden birds. Study them from the kitchen or the garden. A easy to use bird identifying chart is supplied to help you get started. Green woodpeckers, robins, long tailed tits and gold finches are all regular visitors.
- There are sturdy hardwood garden chairs, a table and a BBQ (available on request). Enjoy your evening meal al-fresco while you soak up the fantastic landscape around.
- The area is great for walking and we supply a full set of Ordnance Survey maps so that you can make the very best use of the network of public rights of way.
- The River Madford adjoins the smallholding. This shallow river offers a fantastic wildlife habitat and it supports rare species including kingfishers and water voles. By day, explore the river or by night, sit on the patio and listen to the owls calling, the river babbling and while watching the stars.
- The cottage sits within a Conservation Area and within the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The views are tremendous and the location itself gives a wonderful sense of space and freedom.
