We stayed here in a very wet early July. The farm itself is just outside Challacombe about 20 minutes from Barnstaple and approached up a steep private drive. You have marvellous views of Exmoor from the top and it is very quite and peaceful.

The farm itself has some lovely nature walks and although not a fully working farm as you would expect still is a lovely place to stay if you want to be awoken by the cockrell and see the horses and maybe a sheep or two. We were on a B&B basis and the breakfast is excellent with both continental AND a great cooked option - you wont be disappointed.

The village itself has a little shop and a lovely pub - the Black Venus that does great food - it even has a little beer garden for those summer days (of which we didnt have any).

18 of us (including 8 children) stayed at Twitchen Farm in July 2005. We booked Mole Hall and the Potato House.

Everything about Twitchen Farm is great - the rooms and bathrooms are lovely and clean and new and furnished to a really high standard.

The views from Mole Hall and the Potato House across the countryside are wonderful. For the children it was perfect - we fed the pet pigs daily and they got to ride the ponys and search for fresh hens eggs every morning.

Everyone enjoyed sailing the little boat on the lake and there was so much space for them all to run around in.

Debbie and Steve were always on hand to tell us about the surrounding area or the different animals on their farm.

We couldn't recommend Twitchen Farm enough for a perfect family holiday.
