Rural getaway .
Super accommodation on a working dairy farm. Plenty of places to visit including the donkey sanctuary in Sidmouth and the best ice cream next to the Fort Cafe in Sidmouth - but watch out for the seagulls. They like the ice cream as well!

Dog friendly cottage
A beautiful cottage. All amenities catered for. Big garden next to us, view spectacular. Was not informed others may use garden, so beware if in bedroom. Difficult to find entrance to property. Lanes near property with large potholes, burst our tyre. No phone signal. But use of wifi. A very clean modern cottage, would recommend.

Wheel House Review
This review is listed under Leat House, but we stayed in Wheel House which is very similar but much larger. Communication with Judith was very quick and she was very helpful before, and during, our stay. From the directions we received we found the property easily despite it being very late and very dark. The house was spotless and warm and when we woke up the following morning we enjoyed the amazing views of the surrounding countryside. Our little dog was very happy to explore the secure back garden. We were lucky that she had the run of the whole shared back garden as we were the only guests staying at the time. The weather was amazing so we were able to explore the coastline from Exmouth up to Poole in Dorset. Many different beach walks were enjoyed. As said before the house was spotless and warm with the underfloor heating. The wood burner was lovely on the frosty January evenings and we were able to buy extra logs from Judith when the ones supplied ran out. I wouldn't hesitate to book either Wagon House, or Leat House, again. Thank you Judith for a wonderful January break.

We had the most amazing, peaceful and entertaining stay. The owner is so lovely, the cottage was immaculate and the views from the garden were breathtaking. All have a small fire pit to BBQ and the games barn was so much fun. Tennis rackets and balls are also available for the tennis court. It was perfect for the kids. Only a 15 min drive to some beautiful beaches. We absolutely loved our stay and will be definitely be staying again. Thank you so much!

Comfortable cottage with wonderful views
The cottage is located in an amazing rural location with stunnig views over the picturesque countryside. It has all the facilities needed for a comfortable and relaxing week’s stay. The laid to grass gardens are well maintained and great to relax in with the dogs and a glass of wine or two in the setting sun. Easy drive to some great locations such as Beer village and the costal walkways. Also good access to local riverside walks across the various farmands via the numerous public pathways.

A lovely peaceful place to relax!
Our family (with young adults /teens ) had a lovely time staying on the farm , the surroundings are so peaceful and the views stunning . The Leat house lived up to our expectations, with plenty of space to relax . Our dog enjoyed the huge garden , we all enjoyed the games room , the tennis courts , and the twice daily entertainment of the cows walking past for milking ! Would definitely recommend!

A restful break in beautiful Devon
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Farwood Barton during the 2nd week of July. The property is lovely, spacious and well equipped, and it was delightful to sit out on the patio gazing at the green hills surrounding the farm. Judith and Julian were great hosts, nothing was too much trouble. There are narrow roads to navigate to get and from the property but there are plenty of passing places. It is a working farm, which won't suit everyone, but we found it a refreshing change.

Perfect break
From start to finish this is an excellent place to stay. Great communication before arrival and during the stay. Nice touches like farm fresh milk and local apple juice. Bed linen was especially nice and extremely comfortable beds. Large and easy to access rooms and patio with stunning views. Great kitchen and comfy sitting area. Strong WiFi. Plenty of games and DVD's. Feels very remote and is blissfully peaceful but at the same time in easy reach lots of activities and visits. We'll go back any time of the year.

Perfect stay
We had a wonderful 5 day break in the beautiful east Devon countryside. The views from the cottage are gorgeous and you are only a short drive to all amenities and the coast. It is the perfect location to relax and unwind. The property is very well maintained as well as being clean, cosy and well equipped. The fact you are on a working dairy farm also adds to the experience! We enjoyed using the tennis court and our local walk (note there isn’t a pub to walk to but is just a short drive away). So many great places to visit within a 10 mile drive, there wasn’t enough time to fit it all in. The hosts were very responsive and helpful from booking through to departure. Would highly recommend.

Devon Farm Holiday
We were very pleased with our stay at this working dairy farm in the Devon countryside. It is one of three properties together with their own courtyard. The property was clean, modern and well maintained. The kitchen was well supplied with plates, glasses, pots, utensils etc. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were spotless. Although the kitchen, dining and living area were open plan the underfloor heating meant we were very warm despite it being October. If anything we were too warm and turned all the thermostats down. So if you like to be in a clean, bright, warm, well maintained property with beautiful views of the countryside then this is the place for you. A few points to be aware of, they did not concern us as they were part of the experience, and to us a positive. It is a working farm, which I'm sure children would enjoy seeing, but may not be for everyone. The Devon countryside has very narrow hedge lined roads which our satnav was determined to use. This was not a problem to my husband as an experienced driver and he did all the driving. If you are less confident then consult a map for the wider road routes in the area. Property is a short drive to Seaton, Beer and Branscome. We hope to return to the property in a warmer month to make the most of the area.

Perfect!
We absolutely loved our stay at the leat house. The accommodation was immaculate and the surroundings were idyllic. We were extremely lucky with the weather and enjoyed many days at the local beaches and beauty spots. Due to the secluded location of the farm we felt safe ( Covid-19) and nowhere was too overcrowded. Judith was a fantastic host and went above and beyond the call of duty when our car broke down-thank you! We very much hope to return sometime soon.
