We had a wonderful time staying at Bampfield Farm. Lynda was a fantastic host, and we loved feeding the goats and chickens every morning and collecting fresh eggs. Haven Cottage was very well-equipped, clean and welcoming, and a perfect size for a family, and the Cream Tea on arrival was superb. The location was great - a short drive to Barnstable and close to plenty of seaside towns for beaches and coastal walks. We would thoroughly recommend!



A peaceful retreat just a few miles from Barnstaple and many other lovely tourist destinations

A comfortable and well designed layout, with open plan living accommodation above the bedrooms and facilities. Plenty of seating for dining, relaxing and enjoying the sheltered patio. The cream tea with freshly baked scones on arrival, and fresh eggs during our stay were marvellous. The owners are on site in the house next door and really helpful if any issues arise. We had a lovely time (again) and look forward to our next excuse to visit the area!

We stayed Monday to Friday recently at The Haven cottage. It was to a high standard, clean, comfortable and on a quiet countryside location. The cottage is on two levels, lounge and kitchen on upper level and bedrooms and bathrooms on a lower level via stairs. The cottage had plenty of crockery, glasses and kitchen utensil, microwave, dishwasher and split level oven. We met Lynda the owner on Tuesday she is a welcoming host baking us fresh delicious scones. The accommodation is to a high standard on a working farm, there are chickens, goats and a pony on the site. We will certainly be returning as this is one of the best cottages we have stayed in.

Neil and Lynda’s hospitality was second to none. For the second year running we had a wonderful family holiday experience for our whole family including seven grandchildren.

Our eldest has been asking when can we go back? They loved feeding the animals and collecting the eggs. I'm sure we will be back in the future.



Amazing place for children and adults alike.

We have just spent a fantastic week at Bampfield Farm and, only being able to give 5 stars feels inadequate. This holiday has been quite amazing and all thanks to Linda, who is one of the best hosts we have ever come across. Haven Cottage was very comfortable and spotlessly clean on our arrival with our two grandchildren, aged 8 and 4. The basket of Linda's homemade scones , cream and jam, were very welcome and delicious. For the adults there is some lovely seating with beautiful views to enjoy and the weather was good enough for us to have barbecues outside the cottage. There is also a fire pit with seating. The children were more than catered for with feeding chickens and goats, collecting eggs and having their very first horse ride on Woody, the Shetland pony. There was even a trip to the milking parlour to watch the cows being milked, which they really enjoyed. There is also a brilliant play area next to the cottage, all safely fenced in and complete with swings, climbing frame and tractors to ride on. As if that wasn't enough there is a play barn , complete with every toy imaginable. Linda is very good with children and our young ones learned a lot from her. We were all sad to leave but the children cheered up with our promise that we will return. Being regular visitors to this part of Devon we are very familiar with the area and there is plenty to do, and lovely beaches within close proximity of the farm. However, you will find that you won't want to stray far from this idyllic farm. Don't hesitate to book, you won't be disappointed. Many, many thanks to Linda and family, it was just brilliant.

We had a lovely time at Bampfield with our family. The cottage was great and our granddaughter loved the play field with all the toys & equipment and especially the farm experience . Lynda certainly made it very special for her. We would love to return again .

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a charming cottage, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by the owner, who went out of their way to make our stay memorable.
The kids were overjoyed with the opportunity to learn about the animals and the milk processing firsthand. The owner patiently answered all of their curious questions, which made the experience educational as well as enjoyable. The horse riding and animal feeding activities were particularly beloved by the kids, who couldn't stop talking about it long after we left.
The cottage itself was immaculate and tastefully decorated. It had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay, and we felt right at home from the moment we stepped inside. Despite our short visit, we were impressed by the cleanliness and overall upkeep of the cottage.
Overall, our time at the cottage was nothing short of magical. The combination of friendly hospitality, engaging activities, and cosy accommodations made for an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature and welcoming hosts, I highly recommend this cottage. It's truly a hidden gem worth exploring.

We had a wonderful stay at Haven Cottage. The cottage was immaculately clean and comfortable with extra special touches such as fresh flowers and a delicious cream tea. The very generous welcome hamper was full of locally produced foods and Lynda delivered freshly laid eggs for breakfast in a little basket lined with hay. Adorable!
The wood burner in the main living area ensured cosy evenings and we loved going downstairs to bed! The main bathroom was stunning .
We would love to return and explore the beautiful local area further.

Our stays at Bampfield are always a pleasure, it is such a perfect location for us. Just over 2 hours from home and in the middle of some sublime English countryside. The peace, quiet and tranquility are always a much needed respite in our hectic lives and allows us to switch off and relax, in an environment that is close to our hearts. Both myself and wife have modest farming backgrounds, so the ability to 'collect eggs' and 'see the cows being milked' is amazing.

So many great places to visit not too far away, although we rarely feel the need to leave the farm. The beach at Saunton is perfect for families, such as ours and Barnstaple is 10 minutes away should you need anything.

Fantastic stay, this place is a total gem. Lynda looked after us very well. Freshly baked scones on arrival, loads for our kids to do (5 & 3 - stroking cows, seeing cows being milked, feeding the goats and chickens, collecting eggs and pony riding). Farm is stunning and only a short drive from Saunton Sands and Croyde. Really hope to come back. Thanks Neil & Lynda.
