This spacious property sleeps 10 guests in a wonderfully secluded farmhouse, which is approached via a long, wooded drive. On entering the property, guests will find plenty of space to relax after their journey, with the choice of two separate lounge areas: the first of these being a spacious room with two seating areas. To one end of the room, the original inglenook fireplace with warming woodburner, creates a focal point around which comfortable seating is gathered, whilst at the other end of the room, there is sofa seating, and a Freeview TV. The second lounge is a smaller cosy room, located in the annexe of the house, and offers a second freeview TV and another woodburner. A dining room, with large table seating ten, provides the perfect place for sharing family meals and holding celebrations, and gives access through to the property’s kitchen. In this large room, there is a second, smaller, dining table, ideal for informal meals, or a quiet cup of tea in the morning, as well as all the equipment that guests will need to prepare their favourite dishes, including a double oven, 5 ring hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. A separate utility room houses the washing machine and tumble dryer. The sun room, which overlooks the patio, has been set up as a fun games room with a table tennis table and table football, a great place for teenagers to escape to. One bedroom, with a TV, is a double room, and is also located on the ground floor, adjacent to which, guests will find a wet room with large walk-in shower and WC. Stairs from the dining room, bring guests to the first floor accommodation where there are four further bedrooms. The first of these is an attractive double room, which benefits from an en-suite bathroom with shower over bath and WC. A second double room with washbasin WC. The remaining two bedrooms are both comfortable twin rooms. All of the bedrooms have their own TV, allowing guests to enjoy a late night film, or relax in the morning whilst catching up with the news, or perhaps enjoy the children’s TV channels. There is also a family shower room with WC and a convenient separate WC.

Outside, a patio with garden furniture and a BBQ, overlooks the large lawns, which provide the perfect space for relaxing and playing games. Beyond the garden, guests have access to 240 acres of countryside surrounding the property.

It was a nice and cozy cottage. One day the room heating was not working in the night. But very spacious rooms. Nice host, Peter visited us and offered any help if needed. He also bought a can of milk which was very helpful otherwise we had to go for shopping. Excellent cottage.

The whole location and package of the property was amazing. It has been decorated to a high standard and has a lovely welcoming feel to it. Especially like the remoteness rural feel of the location. Shame we were not ther in the summer as would imagine the property would jump to another lever again with all the outside space and equipment.

We had a lovely stay celebrating my 60th birthday at Gracious farm, we loved the peace and quiet and being 1/2 a mile down the track. The grounds and surrounding walks are beautiful. We enjoyed looking back through the owners photos and learning the history of the farm. The house is really well appointed with super comfy beds and everything you mayRead more need for a holiday. We ordered a online shop slightly nervous whether it would turn up, it arrived with no issues using the what three words. Hide

This was our third time staying at Gracious Ford Farm in Bampton, Devon. It's a very comfortable relaxed house with plenty of facilities available and a large garden. There are some lovely walks from the house, in the owners multiple fields. We will certainly be staying again later in the year.

Fabulous location for a 60th birthday weekend with family and close friends. The house was perfect, so well equipped and comforably furnished. The games room was well used as storm Bert put paid to any outdoor activities. Fantastic weekend, would definitely come again in hopefully better weather!

Wow! I don't know what else to say, what a fabulous house. We had a wonderful time with three generations. We were amazed by the space and our grandchildren loved playing hide & seek. The secure garden was well used for games and BBQs and watching the two owls at dusk. The games room was well used with table tennis being the favourite indoor pastimRead moree. The furniture was all comfortable and there was plenty of crockery etc in the kitchen. Peter was so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommended. Hide
