The kitchen includes a dishwasher, washing machine, cooker, microwave, etc and there is a freezer available. Whilst washing up, you may glimpse buzzards, pheasants, foxes and rabbits, or even a deer on the edge of the woods, all a short distance from the garden. Two bedrooms (one double, 1 twin beds) are provided and a child’s cot or put you up bed may be hired if required. An enclosed garden surrounds the bungalow. We also have a cycle storage shed.

Hoemoor bungalow is situated over looking our farm and the beautiful Otter Valley within the Blackdown Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty. From the front of the bungalow you look over the farm across the fields and down the Otter Valley. At the back you look up over the fields where the cows will be grazing some of the time or if you are lucky enough you might get to watch a cow calve from your armchair.
Perfect for wildlife and bird watching- just wander through the woods at the back of the holiday cottage home, and don’t forget to bring your camera and binoculars! The peaceful, single track lanes around Hoemoor Farm self catering are adorned with wildflowers in springtime and many of our guests are content to wander around the abundant local footpaths, or cycle - you really don’t have to drive, if you prefer not to. There are kingfishers along the riverbanks and otters in the local rivers.
The area has many places of interest- Honiton is the nearest town, famous for its lace making, museum, potteries & antiques and has most amenities, interesting craft businesses, shops, bank, etc. The nearby villages of Upottery and Churchinford have local pubs, and a well stocked community shop at Churchinford. The larger towns of Exeter and Taunton are less than 30 minutes away. The spectacular Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks are less than an hour’s drive, or you may choose to explore several National trust houses and gardens that are within easy reach. Family days out at Crealy Adventure Park or Cricket St Thomas are favourites for the children
.Being on the Devon/Somerset border and not too far from the Jurassic coast of Dorset, we are within easy reach of many fine, sandy beaches.Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, Exmouth, Weston super Mare or Woolacombe on the North Devon coast are worth exploring, and even a trip into Cornwall for the more adventurous.
Hoemoor Farm is a working dairy and beef farm, home to the Phillips family and our animals. The welfare of the animals, concern for their environment and the natural world around the farm is our main priority. Chemical use and antibiotic treatment is kept to an absolute minimum and cows are fed on a natural grass diet, with concentrates only fed in the parlour, during the winter months. We run about 180 head of cattle ranging from new born calves, to 13 yr old cows. Our main breed is unusual, instead of the more traditional Fresians, we predominately use red and white MRI’s (Fleckveih). Our cows are quiet and all have names, so you are welcome to meet them and even stroke them. They are housed inside during the wet months and go back out to grass as soon it is dry enough to do so. Our beef cattle go to slaughter at about 24 months old, but to keep stress to a minimum, we always take them to a local slaughterhouse by trailer when it is time to go. We do not send them off to market.
Whilst staying at our Devon self catering bungalow,
You overlook the farmland which runs down to the river Otter valley, an area of outstanding natural beauty. We are a working farm and time permitting, we are quite happy to guide you around, giving a glimpse into our farming life and explain how things are done. For early risers, you may like to watch the milking? You may even see a cow having its calf if you are lucky enough to have your stay at the right time! We have a variety of pets too, including dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, guinea pigs, hens and other lovable, rescue animals.
On arrival, the first to greet you will probably be Holly, our Spaniel cross something, came to us at 6 months old. She has a lovely nature and will happily greet you (or your dog) and is a real character. She will also work the cows at times, but her main pastime is playing with anyone that has the time. Also dear to our heart is Flame, our faithful, 30 year old horse who will be quite often seen in our garden, or wandering around the farm before going off into his field for the morning. He is quite willing to allow children to sit on him, or gently stroke him, especially if there is a carrot in it for him!
At times, we have free range chicken or duck eggs for sale.
If you just want peace and quiet, the bungalow has its own enclosed, fenced garden so you can sit on the patio and enjoy the views across the surrounding countryside. Table and chairs and a barbecue are provided. We also have a cycle storage shed.
