About Compton Pool Farm
# Compton Pool – An Exceptional South Devon Group Escape for Up to 56 Guests
10 beautiful holiday cottages | 28 bedrooms | 14 acres of stunning South Devon countryside | Indoor heated swimming pool
Imagine bringing all your favourite people together in one beautiful location, with space to celebrate, relax, explore and make unforgettable memories.
Welcome to Compton Pool, an award-winning collection of 10 individually styled holiday cottages nestled within 14 acres of peaceful South Devon countryside, just a short drive from the beaches of the English Riviera, Torquay and the historic town of Totnes.
Sleeping up to 56 guests across 28 bedrooms, Compton Pool offers something truly special for large family gatherings, milestone birthdays, reunions, corporate retreats and exclusive group holidays.
Whether you're planning an exclusive-use celebration for up to 56 guests or a smaller gathering of family and friends, Compton Pool offers wonderful flexibility. Book the entire estate for a truly special occasion, or choose two or more cottages together for a smaller group getaway. Everyone can enjoy their own comfortable space while sharing all the fantastic facilities, beautiful grounds and experiences that make Compton Pool so special.
Together when you want to be, with your own space when you don't.
Unlike a traditional large holiday house, our 10 individual cottages allow everyone to enjoy their own comfortable accommodation, kitchens, lounges and outdoor spaces, while sharing the wonderful facilities and grounds of the estate.
## So Much More Than Somewhere to Stay
At Compton Pool, there's something for every generation, whatever the weather!
- Indoor Heated Swimming Pool – Enjoy our beautiful indoor pool, heated to a lovely 30°C throughout the year. - The Gropers Arms – Our very own tiny on-site pub, serving a selection of drinks in a wonderfully sociable setting. - Games Barn – Hours of entertainment with pool, table tennis, air hockey, table football, darts, Xbox and board games. - 9-Hole Lazy Golf – Our fun and relaxed golf course, perfect for a little friendly competition. - Tennis Court – Challenge friends and family to a game. - Fishing Lakes – Three peaceful lakes set amongst beautiful wildlife-rich surroundings. - Adventure Playground – A children's paradise with climbing equipment, slides, swings, trampoline and plenty of space to play. - Meet Our Animals – Say hello to our alpacas, miniature goats, pigs, rabbits and guinea pigs. - Gym – An on-site fitness space for adults. - Beautiful Grounds – Explore our 14-acre estate, discover wildlife, watch for kingfishers and enjoy the tranquillity of the Devon countryside.
And for our four-legged guests, six of our cottages are dog-friendly, with a secure exercise field and wonderful walks around the estate.
## Perfect for Groups of All Sizes
Whether you're celebrating a special birthday, bringing generations of family together, organising a reunion or planning a corporate retreat, Compton Pool offers the perfect balance of shared experiences and individual comfort.
From a gathering of 10 or 12 guests staying in a couple of cottages to a larger celebration bringing together 30, 40 or even 56 people, we can help you find the right combination of accommodation for your group.
Our larger properties, including The Farmhouse, Rookery House and Ambrook House, provide lovely spaces for gathering, dining and socialising.
The Farmhouse is particularly well suited to group entertaining, with its spacious kitchen-dining room, two lounges, conservatory and private garden.
