UK: The freehold of Mazzard Farm Holiday Cottages, located in East Hill, East Devon, is being marketed by Savills for a guide price of £1.995 million.
Owned by Ruud Venneboer and Jacqueline Parker, the freehold estate features a four-bedroom farmhouse and five self-catering cottages.
The farmhouse is a 17th century Devon longhouse with an open-plan designer kitchen and dining area, lounge, conservatory, and office. There is also a one-bedroom annex attached to the property.
The cottages, which were previously farm buildings, were converted in 2008 and are positioned around a central courtyard. Each of the cottages features an open plan kitchen, dining area and living area.
There is development potential for further accommodation units such as yurts, shepherds hurts or safari tents, subject to planning permission.
Available by separate negotiation is a livery yard featuring individual paddocks, woodland and stabling extending to circa 10 acres.
Miranda Ashcroft from Savills’ hotel capital markets team said: “In 2024, £12 billion was spent on overnight domestic holiday tourism, and in Q1 2025, domestic holiday trips increased by 11 per cent compared to Q1 2024, according to VisitBritain, highlighting the growing demand for UK staycations. As a result, we anticipate strong interest in Mazzard Farm.”
Venneboer added: “We purchased Mazzard Farm in 2007 and lovingly transformed the outbuildings before opening for business in July 2008. It has been a pleasure to own and nurture the growth of the business, which has gone from strength to strength over the years.
“Along the way, we’ve been honoured with multiple awards, the highlight being named the most sustainable tourism business in the entire South West of England in 2023. As we prepare to pass on the baton, we look forward to embracing new adventures and travel and are excited to see Mazzard Farm continue to thrive under new ownership.”
