  Wonderful Stay

We had a fantastic week at Flear Farm Cottages with our young family. The cottages are great and well appointed, the setting is beautiful and there is so much to do whatever the weather has in store! We also managed to get out and about to the beach and various scenic walks. Thoroughly recommend!

  Brilliant family xmas

The cottages were immaculate and well kitted. Cots and high chairs provided as requested. So much for the children to do, play barn and indoor swimming pool were particular favourites. Plenty of walks for dogs and children. Amazing place to spend a family Xmas.

  Relaxing week in the middle of the beautiful Devon countryside!

We absolutely loved our stay at Flear Farm and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying.
We stayed in 1843 cottage as a couple with a baby. The cottage was lovely, spotless and really nicely decorated. We loved that all the baby things were included - cot, high chair, stair gates, box of children's toys, baby cutlery/plates abf audio monitor. The farm also has plenty of activities, for all ages, seconds from your cottage - swimming pool, hot tub, play barn, tennis courts, outdoor play area, farmyard animals… we are looking forward to returning in warmer weather to enjoy it all. We particularly enjoyed joining Barney, the owner, on the morning farm feeding round.
There are lots of beautiful coastal and countryside spots to visit from the farm that are a short drive away. The roads to and from the farm are tiny country roads but that’s what makes it feel so peaceful and quiet! We loved going for morning runs along them.
We spent a week at Flear and felt very well rested and rejuvenated! Don’t hesitate to book!
