The Experience
Along winding lanes that graze the eastern edge of Dartmoor is Sam and Felicity’s medieval farmstead. They’re a modern breed of farmer – young, passionate about their four small children and tribe of livestock – who love to flex their creativity. Tucked between the chicks and farmhouse the former piggery is a private, open-plan living space, with white walls, exposed beams and polished concrete floors, made homely by fresh flowers, rustic furniture and art. Snooze suspended in the king size bed, reached by a ladder and below the nifty sofa turns into two singles. The kitchen has all you need to cook – stock up on the farm’s organic produce up at the house, lovely Felicity leaves treats. There’s a separate bathroom with a shower, but bathing is al fresco: backing onto the orchard is the deck, where centre-stage a pair of cast iron baths await, their pipes full of hot water. It’s a seriously romantic setting for a soak, particularly under moonlight. You’re welcome to tour the farm and meet the animals, and there are plenty of trips to plan: walks, rides and picnics on Dartmoor, and South Devon beaches aren’t too far.

Local points of interest from Felicity Ursell

- For the foodies amongst you, The Old Inn at Drewsteignton is a total treat. A unique award winning dining experience. Or try The Horse at Mortonhampstead for rustic charm, award winning seasonal food, Devon ales and they love music!
- Watch the organic livestock and workings of the farm unfold from the private deck or roam the farm and take in the soaring views of Dartmoor. Wander into Dunsford and treat yourself to a Devon Cream tea in Dunsford's treasured Walled Gardens.
- 9 miles from the Cathedral City of Exeter which provides an abundant choice of shops and restaurants. Visit the thriving Dartmoor towns of Ashburton, Chagford & Moretonhampstead. Discover local pretty villages & pubs, sampling Devon's finest food and ales.
- The farm is easily accessible to A30 and A38 allowing easy exploring of the South Devon and North Cornwall coastlines. The famous Eden Project is an hour and half drive. Teignmouth, Dawlish and Shaldon are within easy reach, as are Dartmouth and Salcombe.
- Soak your aches away in the side-by-side bathtubs with a glass of bubbly under the show of stars and then rustle up supper from a wealth of fresh local produce, some so local it was reared on the farm like our chickens, lamb and eggs!

Just had the most wonderful stay at the Old Piggery. Felicity and Sam could not have been better hosts. We arrived to a basket of goodies for breakfast, and the accomodation was both incredibly comfortable and unique. We loved soaking in the autumnal hues and being surrounded by beautiful fields, trees and their happy farm life. The space feels private and cosy and really very special. Every care has been taken to give guests a wonderful holiday. We will definitely be going back! A perfect getaway.
