Welcome to Holly Water Holidays

Holly Water Holidays is an off-grid glamping escape in glorious Mid-Devon. A place for peace, quiet, tranquillity, wood-fired hottubs, Shepherd’s Huts and our very own take on a treehouse. A slice of heaven.

We are Iain and Jane and our family. We are lucky enough to live in beautiful Mid-Devon on a farm. The farm is mainly dairy but we also have a flock of pedigree Dorset sheep. We also keep some traditional breed piggies as well as our pet Kune Kune pigs, a collection of pesky goats, a small herd of beautiful English Longhorn cattle, a few alpacas, rheas and a motley assortment of chickens.

We aim to offer you a wonderful eco-friendly glamping escape in our beautiful countryside and are very proud to hold the Gold award for Green Tourism which recognises our efforts. It is also our aim to be an allergy friendly, low allergen site which has influenced all of our choices since conception from toiletries to bedding, and from cleaning materials to our strict NO PETS policy.

Our Shepherd Huts

Our Shepherd huts are positioned in the most beautiful location in rural mid Devon. They provide the perfect romantic retreat and an escape from the demands of everyday life – somewhere to enjoy life’s small and simple pleasures while you recharge your batteries.

Our Tree House Accomodation

Our stunning treehouse offers truly unique accommodation for 4 adults in 2 kingsize bedrooms.  It has been lovingly designed by us and the amazing craftsmen who have built it for us and we know you are going to love it as much as we do.

Devon glorious Devon

Crediton, about 3 miles away, is our local town and is found right in the heart of Devon. It sits within easy reach of both Exmoor, Dartmoor and both the North Devon and South Devon beaches. It is the perfect place from which to explore our beautiful county.

A little focus on our feathered friends today. Our lovely chickens are very much part of our life - they're just always there! They are nearly all rescued commercial layers and they now live the charmed life free ranging around our home, garden and fields. They always come to greet me to see if I have any corn for them and they keep us and our guests supplied with eggs. Typically our chicken eggs weigh in between 50 and 75g.
We also have a small group of rheas. 3 we raised from chicks and turned out to be all female. They are named after S.Americsm tribes and we have Maya, Yuco and Inca.They are now 2 years old. This year we took on 1 more female and a male who we have called Carib and Timba. After a somewhat unsettled start Timba has been calling his ladies and today we had our first egg! This one weighed in at a whopping 520g! www.hollywaterholidays.co.uk #beautifuldevon #springsunshine #lovinglife #lovedevon #holidayindevon #farm holidays #glamping #shepherdhut #treehouse #rheasofinstagram #rheas #eggproducyion #chickensofinstagram #hens #eggs @coolstays @hostunusual

So in today's news, look what Iain found when he went on the rounds tonight! Viva, one of our first time mum's, has just produced the first Holly Water Longhorns calf of the year! This is also our first calf from our gorgeous bull, Tobias. It's a beautiful little heifer calf so she now needs a name. This year the pedigree names are to begin with Y so any suggestions for this little lady(or those still to come!) would be welcome! ☺️😍 #englishlonghorns #cowsofinstagram #farmholidays #farmlife #beautifulbaby #glamping #shepherdhuts #treehouse #ruralescape @longhorncattlesociety @coolstays www.hollywaterholidays.co.uk

This weekend has been lovely! Probably the first completely dry weekend with some added sunshine for months! I have been lucky enough to rope Iain and Jessie in to help with a touch of alpaca training and also to enjoy a couple of trips out to some of the places we are lucky to have close by. Yesterday Jessie and I managed a couple of hours for a walk at @ntkillerton and today Iain and I enjoyed one of his birthday presents in the firm of afternoon tea at Bow garden centre. Very nice it all was too. www.hollywaterholidays.co.uk #beautifuldevon #springsunshine #lovinglife #lovedevon #holidayindevon #farm holidays #glamping #shepherdhut #treehouse #alpacasofinstagram #rheas #alpacawalking #devoncreamtea @bowgardenandaquaticcentre @coolstays

After the dreadful weather we have had I am taking hope from the Oak trees at the moment! They are definitely further out in leaf than the Ash which hasn't even started! 'Oak before Ash, we're in for a splash, Ash before Oak, we're in for a soak'. I'm reckoning that we've had the soak and just axsplash going forward would be nice. 🌞☀️🌦️ #oldsayings #trees #summeriscoming #wavegoodbyetowinter #summerholidays #staycation #farmholidays #glamping #ruralescape #peaceandquiet www.hollywaterholidays.co.uk
