Owner profile
Ian Fogg
About the owner
Ian Fogg is a retired company director who has created 4 holiday properties which are specifically set up to provide the most baby and toddler friendly environment.
With 5 Grandchildren of his own, he knows only too well how difficult it is to go on holiday with all the equipment needed for babies and toddlers!
His aim is that parents (and grandparents!) should be able to travel with just the children and the car seat!!
Virtually everything else is awaiting their arrival at the cottages/house.
With a strong background in his own businesses in the service industries, he realises that the test of any service is how many customers come back for more!
He would also like to attract extended families who may want to holiday as a large group, but still want their own front door!
Year purchased: 1996
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We bought this property for the location (it is in one of the quietest areas of Devon, with no traffic noise) and for it's tremendous character.
Surrounded by it's own land, but within a short drive of the shops, it is a place which you never want to leave.
The farmhouse is the original farm manager's house and is a fabulous family home, not ostentatious in any way, yet spacious and warm throughout...both in temperature and feel!
Since buying it, we have purchased more land and woodland around, so the feeling of total tranquility is further enhanced now.
About 5 years ago we converted the old barn, dairy and round house into three delightful cottages and themed them around Wind in The Willows, all have their own distinctive characters and are also fabulous holiday cottages.
Unique benefits of the property
Possibly the most relaxing place to holiday, with a lovely indoor heated pool, gym, sauna, games rooms, indoor toddler play area, outside swings and slides and your very own woodland walks...exclusively available to our guests!
No need to pack all the baby and toddler equipment either...it's all waiting for you when you arrive (check out our website).
Each cottage has it's own private garden plus trampoline with net, sandpit and a bbq ready for you to cook up a feast!
There are more bbq areas in the woods for the adventurous.
Both the little ponds are fully fenced off as is the trout fishing lake, which holds fish in excess of 7lbs.( There are approximately 200 fish in the lake, some rainbow trout and some brown form about 2 lbs to over 7 lbs!.
