The farm has three holiday cottages that have been converted from traditional farm buildings. The barns were initially built by the Babbage family who owned a lot of property in this area. The farm was once part of the Earl of Portsmouth’s estate and was traditionally farmed up until 1992, when one of the farms past owners retired. The Taw Valley area in which we are situated is still mainly made up of small farms rearing beef, lamb and some dairy produce. Golland farmhouse is a traditional cob and thatch Devon long house and dates back to the mid 14^th Century.
