Details for The Old Farm House in Devon, England

The recently modernised house has a new slate roof and white washed walls, many of which are 2' thick, keeping out all weather conditions. Despite this there is a feeling of space, particularly because the old section of the house has been 'knocked through' to create a 35' living room/dining room with 2 traditional Inglenook fireplaces, one is an open fire and the other a log burner. We provide an initial supply of logs, thereafter they are available locally. The living room area has 3 large sofas, a TV, DVD and video player. The dining area has a large glass topped, oval table to seat 10. The Sunny farm house kitchen has a long breakfast table and large fridge/freezer. One bedroom and bathroom are on the ground floor for possible disabled access, (please inform us if you need wheel-chair access). We have lots of toys, games, videos, books and some baby equipment as we have 2 young children. Please contact us to check if we can save you bringing something.

Accommodation and Facilities for The Old Farm House in Devon, England

Welcombe walks, beach and pub

There are lots of good walks from the house. particularly the famous South West Coastal Path. The walk to Welcombe Mouth beach is about 25 minutes, but quite steep, not recommended for small children. Driving is possible, there is a small car park at the end of a rough track, followed by a short foot path down the cliff (not wheelchair friendly). This makes the beach less busy and more visited by locals than some of the more accessible, sandy beaches a little way down the coast, like Bude. All the beaches down this stretch of coastline are very popular with surfers. Bude has a few surf schools and places to hire boards and wetsuits. Welcombe's Pub, The Old Smithy is about 15 minutes walk across the valley on a public foot path. The Smithy is very child friendly with restaurant quality food (lunch and dinner). The Bush pub in Morwenstow (2 miles) has a similar reputation for good food and it's next to The Rectory tea rooms which serve Delicious Cornish Cream Teas!

Shops

Welcombe has a pottery and a small shop/post office which should be opening this spring. Kilkhampton Village or Hartland Village (5 miles) have a small collection of shops, mimimarts, butcher, DIY, Farm shop, etc. Bude and Bideford are our closest towns (c.15 miles) for banks, supermarkets, etc.

Poem by one of our Guests

From Hartland Point, find your road, And journey to the South Beyond Elmscott travel on Unto the Welcombe Mouth. Turn inland up through leafy lanes With all their Devon Charm Until at last you come to this The lovely Linton Farm. Amid circling trees, find your rest Partake of nature's fayre In this good place Beauty and grace Will give you all it's share And when you leave, remember these Remember the peace and calm Remember what you found here Remember Linton Farm.
