The Farm Report

Highdown is a 450 acre organic dairy farm overlooking the Culm Valley. It forms part of the 'Manor of Bradninch' which is owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. It is very much a family farm & is run by my husband Graham & our two daughters Laura & Emily. We have farmed here for over 30 years & have 180 dairy cows.

Utterly charming; beautiful touches everywhere! We stayed in the Cider Barn, which was very warm and comfortable. There were gorgeous views, a lovely play area for the children and an outdoor area to sit down, sheltered from the wind. Everything we needed was there: we hope to go back very soon!

Excellent one week stay in Cider Barn which is comfortable, well equipped and a beautiful setting looking across the countryside. Ideally situated for exploring the local area and further afield since only a few minutes from the M5. Sandra is the perfect hostess. We look forward to coming back.

Lovely cottages on a working farm near Cullompton. We stayed in Poormans cottage. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for our family of 4. The shower was decent too. Nice children's play area with a slide, swings, trampoline and Wendy House. Beautiful views across the valley. Lots of animals on the farm including pigs, goats, sheep and cows, plus a friendly dog. Very convenient location off the M5 on the way to Exeter. There's lots to see and do in the area including beaches and national trust properties.

Eight of us stayed here in June 18 for our daughter's wedding at Hillersdon House in nearby Cullompten. All of us loved it! Sandra welcomed us with her delightful grand daughter, Rose. All the rooms are big, well furnished and spotless. The location is picture postcard perfect.

This is a beautiful place to stay in a beautiful area. We have stayed at Highdown Farm twice in the Cider Barn. It is fully furnished with everything you need in the Kitchen and throughout the cottage. For example, towels, shampoo, kitchen roll, pots, pans, potato peeler, etc.
There is also a lovely wood fire in the living area (make sure you ask for some logs and they will supply some). It is just 2 minutes drive from the nearest town that has a Tesco, Aldi, Home Bargains and a few restaurants and takeaways. There are also loads of places to visit in and around this area, so you won't be bored
