We had a great stay, the accommodation was comfortable and clean, the hot tub was a great feature and so relaxing.
the grounds are quiet and we were visited by some chickens too!
Perfectly located for a break from every day life, just 5 minute drive to the town and half an hour to the beach.
Would love to come back

Great place to stay for couples! Cosy and clean, in a very quiet location with lovely walks around the hut. Stayed for 5 nights and it is a really good place to stay to be able to visit both the Jurassic Coast and Exmoor without too much driving. Had everything you could possibly need inside. The weather wasn't kind to us so we didn't end up in the hot tub but the rain only made it cosier inside. Loved the shower.

A great stay .
A great stay . Really well equipped and comfortable accommodation, the hot tub is a great touch and was well used . We found ourselves relaxed and chilled very quickly and enjoyed that real farm experience with visits from the free range chickens ( and their eggs!) and the friendly farm cat , would highly recommend.
Be aware you are about 35-45 mins from most attractions and the coast and Collumpton itself is a bit of a disappointment, though good for access to a Tesco’s ( 10 mins)
