The Hay House

We have carefully converted and restored the old Hay House and adjacent Dairy to make a single, exclusive holiday house for up to six persons. The conversion has been done with traditional building materials throughout, such as lime plaster and lime based paint.  The result is a traditional Devon farm dwelling with a comfortable and relaxed ambience. Being the only holiday house on the farm, the Hay House offers total peace and privacy with only the ebb and flow of traditional farm life to punctuate the day.

The Hay House is part of the old farm yard which, like the principal farmhouse is listed grade II.  The front door of the Hay House opens onto a private fenced garden with adjacent car parking.  The Hay House enjoys fantastic, far reaching views of classic Devon countryside which can be enjoyed from all the main rooms of the house and garden.

Farm life continues around you with frequent sightings of Dorset Down Sheep, Devon Red Cows, and the general farm calendar of haymaking, hedging, lambing etc. You are invited to explore and enjoy the farm as part of your stay.  There may be restrictions to certain areas of the farm depending on the time of year; hayfields are shut off prior to cutting, cows need to be left alone during calving.  Not withstanding these type of exceptions, we invite you to enjoy the farm and chat to us about anything of interest.  - Farm produce is also available fresh or frozen.
