    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.

    Stayed at the Granary cottage in March 2023 for a long weekend with family & friends, we all loved it. Lovely cottage, friendly & helpful host, easy booking process, Lynda greeted us with fresh flowers & delicious home made scones. Excellent location for touring Exmoor & North Devon. one of only few properties with an EV electric charging point which is a HUGE plus. Would love to go back again. Highly recommended Nearby activities: Watersmeet, Haddon Mouth, Lynmouth, Valley of the Rocks

    Udderly fantastic! We had the most amazing long weekend staying at Bampfield Farm Cottages. We loved getting to explore the farm by day, including egg collecting, and feeding the goats and pigs. We also enjoyed exploring the North Devon coastline, and one of our group even made it out for a surf! Visiting in November, we got the log burner going in the lounge for super cosy evenings in front of the fire. And a special shout out to Lynda for providing the delicious home-baked scones one afternoon - they went down a treat! A lovely location to keep kids and adults alike entertained. Many thanks to Lynda and Neil for hosting us and being so welcoming!

    Fantastic stay, the cottages were beautiful,beds very comfy and so nice to have the peace and quiet of the countryside. Lots of fun farm activities to keep the kids (and grown up kids) entertained, and Wi-Fi very good for working from ‘home’. Massive thanks to Lynda and Neil for your wonderfully warm welcome!

    We love going here, we have been so many times i can't remember. We love it because as you look out of the Haven house you can see the chickens and goats, which we feed every morning and have scrambled egg with fresh eggs everyday. Lynda and neil are great people who will help you when ever they can and the accommodation is clean, tidy and has everything you need. The garden space is great for kids with swing, slide, paddling pool, cubby houses, football goal, ride on tractors and lots of outside toys. And also a fire pit for the adults with lovely views. Not to mention the play room which has a wide variety of toys for a range of ages. For a farm stay i can't fault them. Five stars all the way. We go back twice a year and will keep going for as long as we can. Rooms: The houses are lovely with plenty of space and very clean and tidy. The bedrooms are very comfy and warm. The kitchen has everything you need to cook with for every night if you want to. Nearby activities: The beach is great but to be honest we spend most of the time on the farm playing and walking.

    We had an absolutely fantastic time on the farm. The children can’t wait to visit again. The children loved being able to be actively involved in the care of the animals. Lynda was so patient with them, and took the time to answer all their never ending questions. The outside space and playroom were a winner with the children, they were kept entertained for hours. Lynda and Neil are amazing hosts, you are made to feel welcome from the moment you arrive and nothing is ever too much for them. The scones and clotted cream were a complete hit. The accommodation was comfortable, cosy and had everything we needed. Plus the farm is situated it a beautiful part of the country with access to the coast and national parks. Overall an absolutely amazing holiday, which I would highly recommend to anybody considering a trip to the South West.

    We arrived back today from our 3rd trip to Bampfield Farm and the children have already asked when we are going again! It is a truly fabulous place, great location, fantastic amenities and the cottages and experience of staying on a working farm is something not to be missed for children (and the adults loved it too!). Lynda and Neil are fantastic hosts and make you feel so welcome, I cannot recommend this place highly enough - it is by far the best place we have stayed in Devon and has some very special memories for us. Thank you yet again for another wonderful holiday.
