About the host
Hosted by Vicky & Nick Ritchens
Having spent many years being lucky enough to live & travel abroad, my husband & I realised we wanted to base ourselves in the UK.
Devon became a favourite of ours, with its rolling countryside & proximity to the coast. Plus having family here, meant it was the perfect place to move & begin our dream of running holiday cottages.
We fell in love with UK holidays, having stayed in lots of holiday cottages.
As soon as we saw it, we realised East Forde Farm was the place to do this and to share it with guests, who love it as much as we do, is just perfect.
We have been running it since 2014 and we are so lucky to have gained 5* reviews across all platforms. The site has evolved and improved as the years have gone by, which has been helped by our guests and their wonderful feedback.
You really can get back to nature here, relax and unwind whilst exploring Devon.
We look forward to welcoming you here soon. Vicky, Nick, Maddy & Moon & Arlo the dogs!

Why they chose this property
We love the area as only 20 minutes from Exeter and its wealth of shops, restaurants, University & nightlife. But we are set in a rural area, surrounded by beautiful Devon countryside and on our doorstep is a farm shop, great local pub and village shop.
What makes this property unique
We have stayed in many holiday cottages, but to stay where you not only have a private garden but access to 15 acres of varied land is something really special.
With a wood, a mature apple orchard, meadows, streams and pathways joining them all together - East Forde Farm really is a destination in itself.
