About this house rental
Orchard Barn at Woodhayes Farm nestles in the stunning Blackdown Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB). The farm is set just below Dumpdon Hill, an Iron Age Hill Fort. Our guests can enjoy walks in 200 acres of parkland and ancient woodland and ½ mile of river. Cows and sheep are present on the farm. This property is a great choice for those seeking a quiet rural location with easy access to the nearby coast.
The barn comfortably sleeps 6 with room for 2 more. It has been awarded a 4 Star grading by Visit England. There is a large orchard 50 meters from the barn where you can relax, enjoy stunning views or have an early evening BBQ.
The accommodation comprises a large sitting room on the top floor, an open plan kitchen, dining and sitting area (with cosy wood burner) located on the ground floor. There are three bedrooms including one bedroom that can be made-up as either a double or twin room.
facilities continued: There are two separate bath/shower rooms as well as a ground floor cloakroom with WC.
The second floor sitting room includes sofa beds that, if required, can extend the maximum occupancy to 8 guests. Outside, opposite the cottage, there is a large orchard garden with a seating area, including garden furniture and a barbecue. The garden area enjoys stunning views across the valley, making it the perfect spot to sit and relax after a day spent exploring the local attractions. This property is a great choice for those seeking a quiet rural location with easy access to the nearby coast.
Location: The self-contained barn conversion is quietly situated in the farm courtyard adjoining a large farmhouse where the owners` family offer bed & breakfast accommodation. The farm is located just a couple of miles outside of the bustling East Devon market town of Honiton, with easy access to the stunning Jurassic coast about 15 miles away. Although quietly tucked away from main roads the farm is easy to access by car and perfect for those wishing to explore the local area`s many attractions. Walkers and cyclists are also very welcome and the house includes lots of information about footpaths and local routes. There are extensive walks through 150 acres of farmland, including 16 acres of ancient woodlands to explore, and the River Lupp which adjoins the farm. There is an excellent local walk to the Dumpdon Hill Fort, which is a National Trust Iron Age fort.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2024
We really enjoyed our stay here. Good quality clean linen, fantastic kitchen space (huge table) and very roomy for us all. The outside space (orchard and beyond) was lovely particularly as we were very lucky with the weather.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Nov 2022
We needed a base in this area for family reasons and the position and configuration of the accommodation suited us perfectly.
The yard setting may not be to everyone's taste but it brought clear memories of my childhood farmyard!
My husband (in his eighties) found walking on the cobbles a bit difficult.
Within easy reach of A30.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2022
We had a really lovely time at Orchard Barn, Fiona and Greg were very helpful and friendly. Our only negative was that the bathrooms could be updated, apart from that would highly recommend.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2016
The position of the property, away from the centre of Honiton but close to the A30 and the A35, was excellent for travelling to attractions in Somerset, Devon and Dorset. We were able to have days out at Lyme Regis and Exmouth, as well as going further afield to Minehead, without it being too long a day. We appreciated the welcome tea tray with bread, butter, jam and milk, and the pretty flowers in the rooms. The accommodation was well-heated, the beds were very comfortable. Lots of information leaflets are provided, and many fabulous books to dip into in a quiet moment, and some games for younger children. However, there was little in the way of entertainment for older children and adults. There are two televisions, and the top room is a fabulous place for a TV room, but the sofa beds weren't comfortable when used as sofas. The dining table is good and large, though, and we'd brought plenty of our own board games and card games. Located in the midst of farmland, it was quiet, despite also being the location for a number of business premises. There was a short but steep walk up to the triangulation point at Dumpdon Hill (National Trust), but other than that we were very disappointed that there were no walking routes in the '200 acres of parkland', as in reality this comprised fenced-off fields of cows. The property has free run of the orchard, about 100 steps from the front door across a sloping cobbled yard rather than a small private garden or patio. However, the fabulous view of the owners' flower garden from the kitchen window was very pleasant.
