History of the Haybarton

The Haybarton barn was converted only five years ago to a very high standard and all the furnishings are new and in keeping with the period.

No expense has been spared to make this annexe the very best accommodation that can be offered to any family.

Garden and Pond

The Haybarton has an extensive garden with a trout pond. The pond is positioned higher than the farmhouse and therefore far enough away not to be an immediate danger to small children. Children are not allowed to be unsupervised in the area of the pond, although of course we welcome supervised visits to this important part of the garden.
 
Benches and chairs are situated around the garden to take in the wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.

We welcome any keen fishermen to try their skill at fly fishing. No charge is made for fishing but we have some house rules and would like guests to check with us first.

The Haybarton annexe is attached to the main farmhouse but has its own entrance and garden and we allow you as much privacy as you wish. We are there if you need us but otherwise we leave you to enjoy your stay. We love to hear the children playing and their parents laughing well into the evening. It simply tells us that they are enjoying their stay.

The farmhouse is set in five acres of tranquil countryside with its own trout pond. There are glorious unspoiled views from all aspects and only a few minutes walk from the centre of the pretty Domesday farming village of Upottery with its thatched cottages and ancient inn.

Bidwell Farm is about 4 miles from the market town of Honiton which was one of the centres of the mediaeval cloth trade. It now has antique furniture and bookshops which are renowned in the South West.
