The Farm Office Reviews

Elizabeth
This was our second stay at The Farm Office. The cottage was spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. Katherine was very kind and we felt very relaxed. We had a fantastic stay. We would love to book again! Thank you so much
Andrew
We had a lovely stay at The Farm Office. The property was lovely and exactly as described. The bottle of wine and sweet treats that were waiting for us on arrival were lovely. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We would definitely recommend this property.
Hannah
Property has a lovely setting, nice and quiet. Property was warm, lots of hot water. Decent size rooms. Light and airy. Great hot tubs towels and nice toiletries provided. Lovely bedding. We didnt have any eggs and owner kindly gave the last two she had. Courtyard garden was nice as safe and enclosed for children. It is very remote however and the nearest pub is shut most the time. Fridgefreezer was too small and there were no cupboards to put food in as they were full of crockery. Dishwasher was badly fitted as the bottom door catches on the plinth. I received an email to tell there was a bottle Prosecco and a cake in fridge, but they were not there, but we did get left a bottle of red and some nice apple juice. It would be a nice place to stay in warmer months.
The Farm Office is totally stunning both inside and the country side surroundings. Katherine has thought of everything that you can need on a trip away from home. The Farm Office is bigger than the photos look and all the rooms are beautifully proportioned. The Farm Office is ideally located a 15 minute drive from central Tiverton but being in the heart of the countryside. The farm itself is nestled in the hills and the views from the living room are stunning. Knightshayes National Trust property is approx a 20 min drive and Killerton a 30 minute drive, both are great to visit. We can not thank Katherine and family enough for the amazing accommodation that they provided.
Stayed at the Farm Office from 6th 13th September 2024 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. . Hosts Katherine and Nigel were extremely good and together with their staff made us feel very welcome. It was very kind of them to invite us to attend their open day at Thorne Farm Racing on the Saturday and to meet their guests and we especially enjoyed meeting and getting close to many of their horses. A very enjoyable day. The carrot cake which Katherine organised for us was excellent. The accommodation was well equipped and very comfortable excellent hot tub. Although the weather was not particularly kind on some days we had many enjoyable visits to locations in the area. The long trip from Norwich was well worth it and we cannot thank Katherine and Nigel for being excellent hosts.

Had a lovely weekend stay, beautiful location and well thought out accomadation, everything youd need and very comfortable beds. We have a disabled child and it was lovely that it was so spacious for him to safely get around. The staff were really helpful and friendly too. No complaints would happily book again!
Barbara
Lovely property in a beautiful location. The owner and the other staff that we met were both friendly and helpful. Our visiting grandchildren loved the lake walk, horses, chickens and children's play area.
