Guests say
The Farmhouse in South Molton garners praise for its spaciousness, peacefulness, and additional features like a snooker room. Guests appreciate the welcoming hosts and the property's suitability for large groups and families, though some mention minor issues with cleanliness and maintenance. The remote location is ideal for a tranquil retreat, with wildlife and countryside views adding to the charm.
Guests generally find the farmhouse clean and well-kept, with a few isolated reports of dog hair and overlooked items suggesting room for improvement in cleaning thoroughness.
The property's remote setting is highly valued for its tranquility and beautiful countryside views, though it requires a drive for supplies and may not suit those seeking nearby amenities.
The farmhouse is commended for its ample space and comfortable bedrooms, with some concerns about water heating and steps potentially affecting elderly guests or small children.
The snooker room is a highlight, and the property is well-furnished for a large group. However, some guests report issues with kitchen stock, bathroom locks, and internet connectivity.
The hosts are noted for their thoughtfulness, providing a homemade cake and tea/coffee supplies upon arrival. While such gestures are warmly received, they may vary and are not guaranteed.

Nestling in the foothills of Exmoor National Park on a working farm, The Farmhouse (UKC1339) and Bridge House (UKC1340) are two thoughtfully converted houses in this wonderful part of Devon, keeping authentic structure with internal steps and multi surfaces contributing to its charm. Combe View (ref UKC3157) is a stunning first-floor apartment-style accommodation. Thoughtfully converted using timber from the surrounding forest, this really is somewhere a little bit special. All properties offer guests a comfortable base ideal for families or small groups, and a welcome pack is waiting for you on arrival with a homemade cake, bread, butter, tea, coffee, sugar and milk.
A private sitting-out area awaits alongside large, well-maintained gardens with countryside views. Walks can be had from the farm up onto Exmoor (a designated International Dark Sky Reserve), taking you through woods, along valleys, by rivers and past lakes. A variety of wildlife can be seen, from wild red deer to kingfishers. On the estate, there are two spring-fed lakes; populated with wild brown trout where you can try your hand at fishing. Access is by foot or by 4x4 vehicle as they are both located along farm tracks unsuitable for cars.
The village of North Molton, a short drive away, has a good local pub and a community shop and cafe. The larger town of South Molton has a wide range of shops and local amenities.
Withypool and the ancient Tarr Steps are both highlights on the moor. Climb to Exmoor’s highest point at Dunkery Beacon, then pop into the Dulverton for an afternoon cream tea. In Lynton and Lynmouth there is plenty to see and do, with the two towns being connected by the funicular cliff railway, or visit the Valley of the Rocks, with access to the Southwest Coast Path.
Head up to Woolacombe, Putborough, Croyde and Saunton for a seaside adventure, offering some of the best beaches in the country with surfing and rock pooling. Exmoor Zoo, Combe Martin Wildlife Park and Watermouth Castle all provide an interesting and entertaining day out. There are National Trust properties at Arlington and Knighthayes.

Excellent property and great space for our family of eight with a plus being the snooker room, if you are looking for a peaceful quiet location you can not beat this and would definitely recommend plus look to return.

This is the best place we have stayed in, lovely and clean and lots of space for a family group. Snooker table was a great addition. Lovely little shop just down the road next to the pub. Far enough away from normal shops to feel totally secluded but still close enough for it not to be a chore to get food from a supermarket. Hosts were fab and the cake on arrival was enjoyed by all 😊For days out Exmoor zoo was the highlight for us, 20 minutes away and sooo much to see

We would definitely stay again, however there were steps in and out of most of the rooms upstairs and ground floor. Elderly and small children may struggle.
