Description
Close only to the farmhouse at Higher Norris itself, Little Norris lies surrounded by rolling green fields, home for much of the year to seemingly countless cows and sheep.
Higher Norris Farm is smaller now than it was in the past, but whenever the remaining fields are free of sheep, guests are still welcome to walk over them down to the Avon or explore the three acres of woodland adjacent to the river. Home grown seasonal vegetables are often available.
Sleeping six and with two bathrooms, Little Norris is an idyllic, charming, comfortable, well furnished centrally heated cottage, perfect for those looking for a peaceful self-catering luxury farm cottage holiday, short break or long weekend in South Devon.
We happily provide bed linen and bathroom towels at no extra cost, and these will be changed on a weekly basis, but please bring your own beach towels.

Location description
Almost equidistant between the historic market town of Totnes, boasting more listed Norman, medieval and Tudor buildings than any town of comparable size in the country, and the wilds of Dartmoor, Little Norris is also but a short drive from such Blue Flag beaches as Bigbury and Blackpool Sands.
Other towns such as Dartmouth, Kingsbridge, Salcombe and Ashburton are also within easy reach, as indeed are many tourist attractions (see below).
Other activities
There's a zoo on Dartmoor and in Paignton, golf at Wrangaton and Dartmouth to name but two, tennis in Avonwick, markets in Totnes and Dartmouth, and walking close by in the Avon valley and on Dartmoor.
Local events
A comprehensive list can be found on the South Hams Events website (http://www.southhamsevents.co.uk)
Tourist attractions
For children, apart from the beaches, there's Woodlands, Pennywell Farm or Totnes Rare Breeds Farm, there are steam trains on either the South Devon Railway or the Dartmouth Steam Railway, food festivals in Salcombe, Brixham, Dartmouth and Ashburton, the vineyard at Sharpham, the monks at Buckfast Abbey, and much more besides.
Directions
From Exeter follow signs for A38 in the direction of Plymouth.
From the A38 take the South Brent/Avonwick turn off. You are following the Avonwick signs, so when you get to the South Brent roundabout go straight over.
Go under the road bridge and take the left hand turn to Avonwick.
At Avonwick turn right opposite the Avon Inn and just before the Gulf petrol garage.
Take the next left opposite the Church. This is sign posted North Huish.
Stay on this lane for just under 2 miles.
Higher Norris Farm is on the left, just over the brow of a little hill.

This is somewhere to sit, relax, perhaps sip a glass of good wine, and fully savour the serenity of your surroundings. Of course, should you want for distraction, there is a 32" LCD Toshiba Freeview television, together with a DVD player and a few DVDs should you forget to bring your own. There is also a basic wi-fi connection allowing you to link you to the internet, although bandwidth constraints mean we ask you not to make use of streaming services such as iPlayer or Netflix.

A deposit of 25% of the rental cost is payable at the time of booking with the balance due one month prior to arrival. Payment can be made by either cheque or bank transfer.
