Welcome to Sunnybank - a holiday with a view!
Enjoy a relaxing break at our self catering holiday cottage, Sunnybank, which lies in the heart of the Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Devon/Somerset border. Sunnybank is a modern, light and airy villa with stunning, panoramic views across the Culm Valley.
Sleeps up to 8
With four double bedrooms and three bathrooms, Sunnybank can accommodate up to 8 guests in spacious comfort. It has been furnished in a modern style with the needs of our visitors specifically in mind. No effort has been spared to ensure every luxury has been provided - from spacious open-plan living, top of the range kitchen appliances, super-king sized beds, first-class bathrooms, on demand hot water, full central heating and WiFi Internet access
Sunnybank is an ideal location for family get-togethers and celebrations of all kinds. There is table football, darts, pool and table tennis for the competitively minded or books, games and DVD if a more sedate pastime is required. Relax and enjoy time in our luxury outdoor 6-person Elite Hot Tub. It is situated on our second patio area which has shelter and seclusion but still with the stunning views that characterise Sunnybank. There is a large terraced garden giving plenty of rooms for the kids to play outside.

An ideal base to explore the South West
Just outside of the village of Hemyock, Sunnybank is reached by a quiet country lane and nestles in the lee of Pencross hill facing due west with stunning views as far as Dartmoor.
15 minutes from the M5 motorway and only 2½ hours from both London and the Midlands, Sunnybank is an ideal base for visiting the whole of the South West. Only 45 minutes from both north and south coasts, Dartmoor and Exmoor. There are also plenty of local attractions to fill a visit without travelling far at all!
For a quieter stay there is plenty of walking to suit all abilities in the locality, otherwise relax in the peace and quiet of Sunnybank watching the countryside go by from the garden or hot tub, or just curl up in front of the woodburner. We also have a small private carp pond where guests can spend time trying to catch the 'one that got away'.
Pets are welcome at Sunnybank at the discretion of the owner.
About Us
SunnyBank is owned and run by Cath Elcock and Guy Stallard. Our holiday cottage overlooks the fields and orchards of Culm Pyne Barton, the farm where we live and work. Guy has been at Culm Pyne all his life and as for myself I have lived here over 30 years. We farm 60 acres of orchards growing cider apples for both national cider manufacturers and smaller local cider makers.
We also run a small DIY livery yard, the horses can be seen grazing in the fields around the farm. I keep two horses myself. The farm is also home to a range of dogs, large and small, as well as all kinds of poultry.
Short breaks all year
We are happy to take short-break and last minute bookings throughout the year. We also offer a late departure supplement when bookings allow. You can book directly online with our simple, secure booking system or contact us by email or phone to discuss your holiday plans.
