Handley Farm is no ordinary B&B establishment. Owners Linda and family have created three carefully designed bed and breakfast suites from original stone barns, which are separate from the farmhouse. These luxurious ground floor suites provide superbly comfortable, well-equipped accommodation, giving guests the level of comfort and personal attention expected from a first class hotel, but with a lot more freedom, independence, and privacy.
There are two self-catering cottages: Handley Cottage, sleeping 4 people, and the Cider Barn for 6 people. Both cottages are full of character, and offer extremely comfortable and well-equipped self catering accommodation. Each cottage has its own garden with garden furniture and a barbecue.

Each suite is individually designed, with a comfortable sitting area, ensuite bathroom, and bedroom area. The soft furnishings are beautifully co-ordinated, with careful attention given to the smallest detail to create guestsuites that are truly unique. Breakfast is served in the dining room of the centuries-old farmhouse, and guests are then free to spend the day as they please, either enjoying the comfort of their luxurious suites, or exploring the area.
The bed and breakfast suites and the self catering cottages are all set in the pretty south facing courtyard, and there is also a play area for children close by. There is a games barn with table tennis, pool table and darts, with its own woodburner for days when the weather is less than perfect!

Handley Farm is ideally situated for exploring Exmoor National Park and the vale of Taunton Deane. The spectacularly rugged north coast of Devon and the coastal resorts of Lynmouth, with its cliff railway, Combe Martin, and Ilfracombe are within easy reach. Woolacombe has a wonderful stretch of wide sandy beach and is a good place for surfing. The sandy beaches of the south coast resorts of Exmouth, Sidmouth and Seaton offer good safe beaches for families and are all less than an hour’s drive away. The National Trust has several houses and gardens in the area worth visiting, including Killerton, Knightshayes, and Arlington Court.
Leisure pursuits include walking, riding, fishing, sailing and cycling, or you can just relax and enjoy the countryside! Handley Farm is close to Wimbleball Lake, where you can go fishing or sailing, and there are numerous waymarked walks around the lake.
