Down House Farm Devon is situated in the picturesque rural Devon countryside, enclosed with tranquil rolling hills and offering stunning walks both on the property and as an ideal base to explore the surrounding area. Located at EX6 7SA, our property provides the perfect base to explore Exeter just 17 minutes away, or Dartmoor just 10 miles away. Approached via a long drive, the period property is situated in an elevated position within a working sheep farm with over 180 acres of pasture. <br>
The former farmhouse sleeps up to 10 people in five bedrooms with two separate bathrooms & 1 en-suite and is the perfect base for a relaxing multi-generational holiday with family & friends. We welcome wedding parties, family reunions, birthdays and special anniversary trips. We have 1 King bed, 2 Double beds, 4 Single Beds as well as a Childs cot/crib and highchair which can be put in upon request.

There is a large modern kitchen-diner with expansive range cooker and adjoining utility area, as well as two reception rooms.

Outside of the property is a private garden area with bench seating and separate patio area. The farmhouse is situated in an elevated position with great views of Exeter city at night, Dartmoor and the Teign Valley. Walking is a must with tons of birds and local wildlife to spot during your visit, don’t forget to bring your wellies in the winter! We have walking trails across 180 acres of farm & woodland. Dogs are accepted by prior arrangement.

The farmhouse makes for a wonderful group stay with a relaxed family friendly feel.

Please note that as a sheep farm, we have two female working Collies who live on the farm and they will probably pop by to say hello and try win you over for a game of fetch.

    Lovely country farmhouse.My family had a wonderful celebration here over the weekend. Plenty of space and parking for everyone. Facilities really good. 2 fridges and a good freezer and a separate utility area with a washing machine. Large dining table and 2 amazing sitting rooms. Bedrooms large and comfortable. We found a room with board games later on in the stay and will remember from r next time!

    We had a lovely 4 night stay at the farm house. It's in an idyllic location, quiet but close enough to many places for days out and walks. The house is large and spacious with everything that you would need and suited our family of 10.The gardens are beautiful and the children loved exploring, visiting the sheep in the fields and feeding the lambs.We feel the house would benefit from a little tlc but it didn't ruin our stay, it's part of the old house charm.The hosts were really nice, very responsive and helped as much as they could. We would love to stay again, our trip went far too quickly.

    The property was perfect for our needs. Well presented and beautifully situated in a little slice of paradise. The hosts on site were wonderful. We had a superb holiday. There is so much to see and do in the area. The only challenge we had was how to balance going out and about, with staying put in the cool, calm, quiet of house and farm. Thank you.

    The host did everything possible to give us a good stay in this old farmhouse during a wet and cold period of July. We had heating and the beauty of fresh flowers in the house.

    We had a great few days here for our daughter’s wedding in Exeter. The rooms were spacious and provided plenty of room for bridesmaids and bride to get ready. The large kitchen table was great for 10 of us to sit at and lovely comfy lounges with log burners were cosy in the evening. Barbara was super helpful in explaining everything.

    The house was perfect for our extended family. The bedrooms were well presented and the kitchen was good although using the range stove took some working out. Both reception rooms were very comfortable and all said it was a very enjoyable stay.
