Guests say
The Farmhouse offers a spacious, peaceful retreat in the Devon countryside, ideal for families and groups seeking relaxation and beautiful views. Guests consistently praise the cleanliness, comfort, and well-equipped nature of the property, with the snooker room and generous living spaces being particular highlights. The remote location provides tranquillity and stunning scenery, though it requires a car for access to shops and attractions. Hosts are welcoming and attentive, often providing thoughtful touches. While a few minor maintenance and kitchen supply issues were noted, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Most guests found the property very clean and well-kept, with only a few isolated reports of missed cleaning details such as dog hair and leftover items. These issues appear to have been addressed by the owners in subsequent stays.
The location is widely praised for its peacefulness, beautiful countryside views, and proximity to Exmoor. Its remoteness is a positive for most, though some note the need for a car and narrow country lanes.
Guests highlight the spaciousness, comfortable beds, and ample room for large groups. The unique layout with steps may pose challenges for those with mobility issues or young children, but overall comfort is highly rated.
Facilities such as the snooker room, kitchen, and living areas are frequently praised. Some guests noted minor issues with kitchen equipment, bathroom locks, and the dishwasher, but these did not significantly detract from the overall experience.
Many guests mention warm welcomes and thoughtful touches such as homemade cake and welcome packs. While these gestures are appreciated, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

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.

Don't miss the chance to stay in this beautiful old farmhouse. It's clean and comfortable and spacious. The decor is dated but looks fresh and is done to a high standard. It just adds to the charm. The grounds are beautiful and the views breathtaking. There's nothing within walking distance but we didn't mind that because we loved the peacefulness. The snooker room kept us entertained. We loved that there are two sitting rooms. We just loved everything about it really. Our host, Donna, was very friendly and helpful and welcomed us with the most delicious cake. There are plenty of fantastic places to eat nearby, and plenty of things to do, walks to take and fresh air to breathe!

A well equipped property with everything you could possibly need for your stay. Very friendly reception and shown around with all questions answered. Location is stunning and very peaceful but not far from the coast, the moors and many other attractions.
