Thank you for leaving such a lovely review, I will look forward to welcoming you back.
Everything was wonderful! The location, the property exceeded my expectations, we loved how peaceful it was, the views, the cosy & welcoming layout. It was by far the nicest weekend away I’ve had in years, even though there was a storm, we enjoyed getting out to Lyme Regis, Seaton, Beer & Branscombe. Had a magnificent meal at the Kingfisher Inn.We will most certainly be back

We had a wonderful stay. The weather was really kind to us, and the property was ideal (& well equipped)Judith was very welcoming and the decorations were a nice fesitve touch.The general area is really nice and plenty to see and do.The Kingfisher Inn in Colyton serves some amazing fish/seafood dishes (& good beer)Would happily return.
Lovely cottage in beautiful settings. Absolutely clean and well maintained with comfortable beds. We utilised the game room and enjoyed to have the option to play table tennis or pool. However, the room seemed lacking love. Personally, I belive the fitness centre should not be advertised. Shame there is no place for the Appletree cottage occupants to do a bbq as no dedicated outside enclosed space, (the garden is within the other rental properties). We had an overall restful and enjoyable long weekend.

As we were the only ones staying in the cottages the experience was perfect, very quiet and a central to most tourist destinations along the East Devon coast. The property was clean, comfortable and very warm. Would recommend this place and hope to return for a longer stay

Thank you so much, it will be a pleasure to have you to stay another time.
Most beautiful country home to stay in. Very cozy and warm. Hosts were very nice and we enjoyed our chats with them. It’s a working farm and my husband coming from the farm really enjoyed that.
Our best stay here in Wales or Britain as we are here for 6 weeks in all.
Very nice walks on the road and the villages were beautiful.
Very quiet stay as well and the bed was excellent. Very important.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review.
Our stay was amazing. Judith , Julian and family were above and beyond. Our Grandsons had a wonderful time on the farm 🚜 we had a tour, bringing the cows in from the field , to watching them being milked, then to feed two new baby calves , and to end it with a tractor 🚜 ride 😀. The accommodation is very clean, and the boys loved living upside down lol 😆. The countryside is beyond words, stunning . I would recommend this 100% we shall definitely go again. Thankyou

The Apple Loft is a lovely cottage. It is clean, well equipped and comfortable. The farm is set amidst fabulous rolling countryside and within a short drive of beaches. There is a large lawned area to enjoy, as well as a games room (both shared with two other cottages). Judith is friendly and helpful. She provided clear directions to the farm, met us on arrival to show us around and was able to provide good local knowledge of walks, places to visit etc. This was a lovely relaxing few days and a shame that we couldn't have stayed longer to enjoy the cottage and surrounding area even more.

Dear Alistair
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review, it will be a pleasure to have you to stay here with me another time.
Lovely warm cottage all the equipment you need in the cottage including a games barn . The location is a bit rural, but only 15 minute drive to Honiton with everything you need including 4 supermarkets.

Thank you for taking the time to write a lovely message, we are in a rural, there are no roads to hear, if you enjoy peace and quite this is the place to come.
Look forward to seeing you another time!
What a beautiful secluded spot. We stayed in the Apple Loft, a lovely upside down house that was cosy and comfortable but provided modern and surprisingly spacious accommodation. It is off the beaten track but perfectly located for exploring South Devon. Our hosts were friendly and efficient and made us feel very welcome. The week passed all too quickly. Highly recommended!!! Thank you so much Judith and Julian, we had a holiday packed with memories!

Thank you for making the time to write such a lovely review. It was such a pleasure to have you to stay, and we will look forward to seeing you another time.
We loved it at the Apple Loft it was just right for my family of 3 which was all we needed. Judith was very friendly and helped us out with anything we needed.
It is on a farm location and away from built up areas which we love. We did have a game of snooker in the games room which was a full size table and had a game of bowling which was so much fun the way it was constructed was fabulous. We would stay again no problem if we need to pop down to Devon again.
Many thanks to Judith for making us feel welcome.

We received a warm welcome from Judith, who showed us to the property on arrival. The Apple loft was perfect for a couple. It is beautifully furnished and had everything we needed for our stay and is situated in an excellent location to explore both Devon and Dorset. We hope to be able to visit again.

About the host
Hosted by Judith Hurford
Julian, myself and our family live here at Farwood Barton, Julian was born here, and I moved here when we got married. Julian runs the dairy herd and helps out with the holiday cottages. I run the holiday cottages and do the farm accounts. We live here with 190 dairy cows, calves in the Autumn, 2 cats Spoldge and Tinkerbell, a working dog called Jed who love catching the ball with the visitors!
Why they chose this property
Farwood Barton is a working grazing, dairy farm. The farm has been in the family for 3 generations, the original farm buildings in the Victorian Court Yard had got out of date for modern farming practices, they were crying out to be converted in to holiday lets. We converted them in 2009, we now enjoy having visitors staying with us sharing our beautiful location.
We as a family love living here in the countryside, we enjoy everything the countryside has to offer us, our livelihood, the quietness, our own space, the views, we still enjoy waking up every morning looking out to the wonderful view over the Coly Valley and beyond, summer or winter.
What makes this property unique
Farwood Barton gives you high quality, modern, accommodation, hidden from the hustle and bustle of life, whilst being close to the Jurassic Coast beaches and road links into the South West:- A30, A303, A35, A3035 and M5.
We want everyone to have a truly relaxing stay, and to leave feeling refreshed after a memorable time here at Farwood Barton.
