Orchard Barn nr Honiton with 200 acres of parkland & ancient woodland

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.

Dumpton break
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.

Lovely Stay
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.

Family stay on the farm
We had a wonderful stay at the barn with my family and parents. The property is larger than you think and is fully equipped. The upstairs living room is a good place to send the kids so the adults can chill out in the kitchen/dining/lounge area down stairs. Location is great, peaceful and walks on your doorstep. The hosts were very helpful and friendly and would definitely recommend to anyone, we really had a wonderful time.

Nice Property
The barn is very comfortable. Would not recommend it for small children as it is a working farm and there is not immediate outside space to run around. There is an orchard 50 metres away.

Our time in Honiton
The property is lovely. The surrounding area is beautiful and we were made to feel welcome. Lots of space and great resources! I would highly recommend this to any family! Beet and Branscombe are delightful and Lyme Regis is surprisingly a beautiful beach and town.

Lovely house in lovely surroundings
Greg and Fiona were great hosts. There if needed for information or help, but never intrusive. We stayed for 7 weeks between house moves and arriving after a stressful long day we were welcomed by Greg into a cosy, warm home with a very welcome hospitality pack of bread, milk, jam etc. We had our two older dogs with us and they were really well received and made very welcome. The house is on a modern working farm with offices and a gallery. The mix of buildings and spectacular scenery is lovely with great dog walks on site. The house has plenty of space and we were also working from home while there, so the space was most welcome. The farm location is perfect for exploring the local area with Lyme Regis not far and lots of lovely woodland walks to do in a short drive. All in all a great location, lovely property and superb hosts.

Lovely hideaway with good access to local sights and amenities
we had a lovely week at the Orchard Barn - Greg and Fiona were so welcoming and their farm is great for a break from city life. The actual location was extremely quiet (the only neighbours are small offices who all leave at 5pm) in a truly beautiful location. The farm itself gave our teenagers a bit of space to go off alone, and the beautiful views (with superb sunsets) made it a lovely place to just hang out. Despite the quiet location, there is easy access to the coast and it was less than ten minutes to the big Tescos in Honiton for anything we needed. The barn has been beautifully converted, with lots of space and a hideaway lounge room on the top floor - brilliant for families who might need some time away from each other!
