Nethway Farm is perfect for the whole family, with so much to see and do
Our farm has excellent facilities perfect for your dream family holiday in Devon; whether the kids want to take a dip in the heated indoor pool or burn off some steam in the sunshine on our trim trail in theplay area, or you want to take the whole family on a relaxing stroll, we’ve got something for everyone.
The Farm
Guests of all ages are encouraged to help us feed the animals during their stay. From feeding the goats and ponies to giving a chicken a cuddle and collecting eggs. Not to forget giving the pigs a good scratch and a few treats! All the animals are very friendly and we enjoy watching the confidence of the children grow as they interact with the animals during their stay. Spring is an extra special time of year as guests are encouraged to help us name and feed any orphan lambs we may have!
The Swimming Pool
A warm oasis that is great for children and adults to relax or have fun in. The pool is open for bookable 1hr 15min sessions between 0700 and 2100 to enable sole family use for each cottage. Booking is made once you have arrived at the farm. The pool is closed on Friday mornings for cleaning. It is kept at a temperature of between 32 – 34 Degrees Celsius and is a constant depth of 1.25m. Large steps allow access to the pool, which are also good to sit on. There is a large family changing room with fold down baby change, plus small individual changing room and a toilet. There is seating poolside for those who would rather watch. Patio doors also open out onto a terraced area which is a lovely sun trap overlooking the farmland.
Play Barn
There is always something to do on the farm come rain or shine. The play barn has a large area for kicking a football about in, playing badminton or throwing balls at the basketball hoop. The room behind the kick around area that has a pool table, ping pong table and table football.
Play Room for 5 year olds & under
Our newest area especially for those 5 years old and under. There is also a decked area just outside the play room, where you can enjoy the sun and watch the children playing in the play room, on the trim trail, swing and running around.
The Mud Kitchen
Time for the children to really get in touch with nature and explore. In the shelter of the valley hours can be lost making mud pies, paddling in the stream and playing ``Poo Sticks``. There are benches for the adults to relax on with a cup of coffee. It is also the perfect place for family picnics and wildlife spotting!
