    Nothing was too much trouble. We were even given a private tour of the race horse stables which was amazing. The accommodation was perfect and the location beautiful. Surrounded by the Devonshire countryside and close to lots of attractions. Would love to visit again

  • "The Hayloft was perfect for a few days away."

    The hosts made us feel very welcome and we really enjoyed our stay. It was very much a family run business which shone through. We were surprised to see a lovely welcome package on our arrival. The cottage was well equipped with everything you would need and to a high standard. We enjoyed using the hot tub and towels were provided for this. The beds were very comfortable, as was the seating area in the lounge. The bedrooms were kitted out with lovely features too. There were plenty of utensils, crockery and cookware to cook there, including a gas barbecue that was ready to cook on immediately. The Hayloft is situated on a farm with parking in a gravelled area. Take a walk around the farm to see some absolutely stunning scenery. We also had a tour of the farm and stables by the owner which was amazing. We loved it so much we'd like to return ☺️☺️

    We absolutely loved having you stay, your review is amazing & we really appreciate all of your lovely words. Yes we are a family business & we work so hard to make our guests stay the best ! Please do return & visit us again soon. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely time at this beautiful barn conversion."

    Stunning views, peace and quiet, a great hot tub and well-laid out. The owners had pretty much thought of everything re; kitting out the kitchen and provided us with towels for the hot tub too, which was helpful. Great for country walks, the nearest beach is around an hour away.

  • "Comfy beds, hot showers, lovely hot tub."

    All the condiments, tea, coffee, milk and little welcome items very much appreciated. Everything you'd need for your dog if you'd forgotten anything. Loved the walks from the doorstep - you are warned it's hilly! Saw lots of deer and other wildlife. Large sofa is v soft and u sink into it, a little odd that the wall mounted telly is so off centre but it didn't affect viewing. Would have been ideal to have some larger glasses and non-plastic pasta bowls and we did struggle to dry our swim wear, hot tub towels and wet weather gear at the same time. There is an airer in the cleaning cupboard and the wash down hut was useful! Would visit again.

    Thankyou for your lovely review. We really enjoyed hosting you & glad that you saw our beautiful wildlife. Your thoughts are very helpful & we shall put some thought to the drying of towels, larger glasses & plastic pasta bowls. You are welcome back anytime. Property Owner

Thorne Farm Estate

This historic, 17th century former estate has been lovingly converted into two well-equipped barn conversions, situated in the grounds of Thorne Farm Estate within 250 acres, amidst the beautiful mid Devon countryside. Set in a secluded valley, this is a superb walking location and there’s even a chance to spot wild red deer, hares, swallows and woodpeckers, immersing yourself in a wildlife haven just a few steps from the cottage door. The house contains a quirky interior with exposed stonework, wooden beams and vaulted ceilings dating back hundreds of years, whilst the south facing aspect gives it a light and airy feel. Outside, each of the cottages come with an enclosed courtyard garden with hot tub and furniture, plus there is a nearby paddock where you can watch the horses take on the jumps. The estate lends itself to many walks whilst the surrounding area is characterised by rolling hills and scattered woodland. The nearby village of Stoodleigh is home to a charming pub, The Stoodyleigh Inn, where you can end your evenings with a well-earned glass of vino. Head into Bampton to find your nearest convenience store, or stop off at the National Trust landmarks of Knightshayes Gardens and Knightshayes Court on your way into Tiverton, which is also accessible by car. Thorne Farm Estate provides a relaxing retreat to Mid Devon.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
