Highdown Organic Farm

The holiday cottages are situated in a peaceful location, high above the Culm valley on one of the oldest Prince of Wales Duchy estates. We have some of the most breathtaking views of the countryside beyond. It is an idyllic place for a relaxing holiday or short break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday living.

We have two cottages and a romantic barn conversion to choose from to cater for all your needs, whether you are a family, group of friends or a couple. All are individually decorated and furnished to a high standard. Each with its' own secluded garden and superb views. The Old Farmhouse is very spacious and superb for family or friend get togethers, whilst Poorman's Cot is more cosy and compact, just right for a small family. The Cider Barn is an ideal retreat for couples to relax and take time out.

We are fully committed to sustainable farming, preserving the countryside and protecting the environment, this commitment extends to the holiday accommodation as well.
