The Experience
In the 70s the farm belonged to Hank Marvin and there are nods to him in the artwork – especially his signature red Fender Stratocaster. There’s an attractive blend of modern materials with oak beams, weathered bricks and local flint. The living space is high-ceilinged, light and airy with sumptuous cushions and throws, a flame electric fire, board games and large screen for watching TV or films.
Cooking is a breeze with a Neff oven and hob, plenty of space for prepping and a table big enough to invite friends over and you can have shopping delivered. If you need to work find the perfect alcove with a walnut desk. Through an open archway is a solid steel four-poster beneath a splendid vaulted ceiling and a William Holland bateau bath – for more modest souls there’s a separate wet room.
You’ll feel very private outdoors in the enclosed garden, not overlooked at all and with a Weber gas barbecue. Summer evenings are sublime.

High standard accommodation and very helpful owners. People and dogs receive a warm welcome. As might be expected from such a remote location, the views are spectacular. Having a car is essential to get out and about.

Hanks Annexe is beautiful, and set in such a tranquil natural area. We were also the only people staying in one of the properties at Higher Wiscombe for the week we booked, so apart from Olivia who greeted us and showed us around, we didn't see anyone else which was brilliant. This also meant we could explore the heated pool, games room or 57 acres around the site at our leisure. The property is decorated to a high standard and is very well equipped, we felt completely at home. We had a great time at Hanks Annexe, and we would love to book again.

My partner and I had the pleasure of staying at Hanks Annexe and couldn’t fault it in any way. Perfect location - secluded enough to feel as if you are getting away from it all, far reaching views and great walks for the dogs but only a stones throw away from local attractions, restaurants and supermarkets. The annexe itself had everything you need to escape whilst being stylishly furnished to a very high standard. The dogs were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived, with treats blankets and a crate. Would highly recommend this to anyone and wouldn't hesitate about going back!

Hank's Annexe is a very well equipped and luxurious boutique hideaway. It is surrounded by incredible countryside giving spectacular views in all directions. You can stay here knowing the eco credentials are at the highest possible level. The heated outdoor swimming pool is lovely in the warmer weather and is a real bonus as you can book exclusive use!

Location
The neighbourhood
The long winding drive is almost half a mile past fields and footpaths until you reach the farm buildings – the owners' house and three other holiday cottages, some of which can be taken together. It's wonderful walking country and the nearest pub is 2 miles away. Honiton is 5 miles for independent shops, delis and cafés. River Cottage restaurant and store is 12 miles for great local food.
Local points of interest from Alistair & Lorna Handyside
- Within 2 miles of the SW Coast Path, with fabulous views, Hank's Annexe has a large scale OS map on the wall, and we provide guides on local walks. There is an inland path, called the East Devon Way and you can wander from Hank's in our 52 acres of Devon.
- The East Devon Coastline is just couple of miles away, and it has a World Heritage Site designation, and is called the Jurassic Coast. You can walk it, along the Coast Path, or go by boat from Exmouth, Sidmouth & Lyme Regis to view from the sea, stunning.
- We are only a short drive to 5 top quality farm shops, with a vast array of all that is wonderful and local, they all now have restaurants too. Real foodie destinations showcasing all that the SW has to offer. Some also deliver if you book in advance.
- Lots of great local places to eat, including the Michelin Starred Lympstone Manor, the fabulous Pig at Combe at the premium end, plus great Pubs, restaurants cafes, and take-ways abound. There is something for all tastes and much of it local.
- We are at the heart of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with our 52 acres to explore, abundant wildlife, over 76 species of birds and 15 species of mammals are resident. The nearby Axe and Exe Valleys are primary bird migration routes.
- We have an online guide, which is sent when you book, called Touch Stay. It enables you to search for everything you might need, Farm Shops - tyre repairs, pubs and restaurants - chemists. Constantly updated to help you find all the best in our local area.

Introducing
Alistair & Lorna Handyside
Alistair and Lorna have owned the farm for around 20 years. The cottages are run on an eco tourism basis and they have been given a Gold Award for Green Tourism. The biomass boiler produces all the heating and hot water for the cottages as well as the heated pool. They are always there to meet and greet and to show you into the annexe.
We booked this short break last minute and enjoyed a lovely few days in Devon. The Annexe was in a lovely location but a car is essential and it was beautifully presented. The design and fittings of the property are of the highest quality. The swim in the pool was a bonus and was well organised. Can definitely recommend.
