Lifton sits in rural Devon near the Cornwall border, farm country where working land still shapes the landscape. Frankaborough Cottage is a converted barn on an active dairy and arable farm, arranged across three floors with space for six. The property is yours alone—no shared walls, just fields around you and room to move.
Ground floor holds an open-plan kitchen and dining area, a sitting room with a wood burner and television, and a double bedroom with its own shower and toilet. Upstairs are two more bedrooms: one double, one with twin beds. A second bathroom serves the upper floors. Essentials are covered—heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are included, and the wood burner comes with fuel for your arrival. The kitchen has what you need to cook: oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge. There is a washing machine and tumble dryer for laundry.
A courtyard with garden furniture and barbecue opens from the house. Beyond that lie large lawned grounds with more sitting space and a second barbecue (shared with other properties on the farm), plus a children's play area. You get private parking for two cars. One well-behaved pet can stay at no extra charge. The cottage does not permit smoking. Children are well catered for—travel cots, highchairs and stairgates are available, and a welcome pack is left for you.

What guests say
Hosts are so accommodating we had to book very last second as our tent broke when camping. Linda was an angel in the situation and sorted us out with the I hut. It’s been a beautiful stay with lovely views, good clean hut and a comfy bed. Will recommend to any around the Dartmoor area

Great week for the 11 of us across 4 of the Lodges. Bit off the beaten track but well worth it. Linda and the family are very welcoming and friendly. Great little fishing lake which the grandkids loved, same with the puppies. All the lodges were very nice, well maintained and had everything we needed, and our view from the retreat was lovely to wake up to, even in the rain. For the price of 4 lodges I doubt you can get better value.

Amazing location! All the best beaches, activities and sight seeing are within 1.5hrs drive. Amazing accommodation! The facilities are top notch, very clean, very spacious and very safe. Our kids loved seeing the puppies, calves, chickens and fishing. Amazing host!!! Linda Banbury is a gem! Very welcoming and everyone in the farm is friendly. Feels like family home. We absolutely loved our stay at the Frankaborough Cottage! My kids didn't want to leave! Definitely coming back! Thank very much! Christine, Nariko, Naomi, Senem, Idris & Zara 24 - 27 Aug. ❤️❤️

Lovely countryside views. We have been coming to this farm for the last 20 years and every time we visit , we are made so welcome. If you want to have a holiday and see “how real dairy farming is done” then book your holiday break here. The Banbury family are so friendly and welcoming, you won’t find a better place with lovely views and lovely people. See you all next year.
