Escape to a simpler life with Edward

Fountain Violet Farm is located outside the village of Kingswear in quintessential South Devon countryside, the ideal base for a family holiday in South Hams between Dartmouth, Torquay & Dartmoor. You will be staying with the Jones family, who specialise in beef livestock. Your canvas hideaways are surrounded by stunning sea views of the coastline, the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Just 5 minutes away from the South West Coast Path, you'll enjoy nature at its finest on the Devon coast.

The south Devon coast-line and all its charms

If you’re looking for a variety of watersports to do, this is the right place for you. You will be just 15 minutes walk from the tranquillity of Mill Bay Cove, where you can swim or take in the sun’s rays. You can also kayak, paddleboard, surf and sail in the nearby River Dart. Just a little further, you absolutely must try the Dartmouth Steam Railway to grab the passenger ferry across to Dartmouth. You can discover the likes of Blackpool Sands, a blue flag award winning beach. For a slice of history, head over to the Greenway House and Garden, a 1950’s summer home of the much-loved author Agatha Christie and her family. There are also plenty of pubs and restaurants within walking distance from the farm for a trip out without the car.

What to do at Fountain Violet Farm

Wake up every morning from the cocoon of your comfy beds to the farm’s breathtaking views of the River Dart. Children and adults alike will love wandering through this landscape and taking in the sea air to build up an appetite for a sunset campfire and cook up before retiring to the comfort of your Feather Down beds. Where could you be better placed to enjoy a family holiday in South Hams?

Highlight

Pizza Night

The farmer will usually fire up the pizza oven during your stay. Everyone gathers round to tell their stories of the day’s adventures and invent pizza toppings you’ll never find on the high street

Flowers and farm shop entrance

Highlight

The farm shop

It’s great for the basics and usually even better for local produce and low food miles. And every Feather Down farm shop operates on an honesty basis.
