Lower Hearson Farm and Cottages

Very warm welcome from Farmer Graeme and my 4 year old daughter loved feeding the animals every morning. Very tranquil considering the cottages were nearly full, but still close to great beaches and things to do for the kids. The cottages were a little out dated but fantastically clean and great value for money, we would definitely book again.

We have recently returned from our our 4th visit to this lovely farm and have just booked again for Easter 2018. Farmer Graeme is a wonderful host and always welcoming. Accommodation is excellent, a real home from home with all the equipment and facilities you could need. It's an excellent place for the kids, play equipment, pool, games room and of course all the animals that they get to help feed twice a day. We missed the piglets this year but are hopeful for next year Graeme! Can't wait to go back. Highly recommended.

Lovely and secluded (so quiet!), the last few lanes to get here are not for the faint hearted (take note of passing places) but surprisingly close to Barnstaple and other towns for shopping and fuel. Children's play area, trampoline and animals to pet/feed. WiFi was available in our cottage, so I would imagine it's in all the accommodation.

We stayed here for a week in one of the cottages. Graham was an amazing host. Our kids loved feeding the pigs with him morning and afternoons for the entire duration. The accommodation was very clean and very homely. There are many things for the family to do on and around the farm. This is the perfect place if you are looking to spend some time our doors and simply disconnect. We will be coming back again.

Just had a wonderful half term break at Lower Hearson Farm. Graeme and Marilyn our hosts are some of the loveliest people you're likely to meet. They were so friendly, helpful and welcoming. Our accommodation was wonderfully warm in freezing conditions with a fantastic log burner and home made cakes to welcome us. The kids loved the games room, the freedom to roam the grounds and nothing quite beats waking up to feed (and cuddle) the chickens and pigs. Beautiful beaches, woodland waterfall walks and the wilds of Exmoor all on your doorstep with Graeme and Marilyn offering helpful tips and advice on the best places do go. Would love to go back and would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic farm with 6 holiday cottages of various sizes. We stayed in the one bedroom cottage which was adequate for our needs. The owner, Graeme, did a "feeding the animals" session twice a day for the children. It was like watching the Pied Piper leading the children and some parents up the hill.
The swimming pool has a permanent roof over which means that there is no side to jump off.....much safer for the children. There is a sliding door for access and steps down into the shallow end. We had it to ourselves when we used it.
The games room is well stocked with table tennis lots of games, books and dvds.
Greame also has a supply of ready meals for 2 in the freezer for purchase. The welcome tray was very welcome although it had no milk included but we had some with us.
The only downside in summer is having to remember to put the immersion heater on and off for hot water. I presume that this would not be an issue in colder weather when the central heating would be on. Plug in heaters supplied for chilly nights.
A great week and we will be back.

4th visit - with various family and friends. Have stayed in 3 of the cottages. All are extremely comfortable and well equipped and feel like home. The tranquil, beautiful setting and welcome are second to none. Will definitely be going again!

Brilliant stay. Lovely farm. Couldn't ask for more. Hidden gem. Definitely return
