We are truly enjoyed our stay. The location is breathtakingly beautiful and the hosts Renate and John the kindest and most welcoming people. We are hoping to go back to the Pound Cottage in the future.

Loveliest Hosts
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house has a great location and you are also allowed to walk around the hosts' property, which is really extraordinary big. Hosts are very gracious and were also happy to show us around their farm and old house. The tour was very interesting and it was nice to talk to the hosts.

About the host

Hosted by Renate Huckle

Host profile image
After many years of being a GP in South Devon, where we enjoyed boat building, sailing, renovating houses and where our 4 children were born, we decided to move to the countryside to live a different life and try farming. After much searching we found the perfect place, unspoilt and secluded Bradford Barton in the middle of Devon, on the Two Moors Way between Exmoor and Dartmoor with a large enough farm house for all of us and many substantial, interesting barns in quite good condition.

Why they chose this property

The farm consists of 150 acres of lovely meadows surrounded by high hedges, ideal for any wildlife. After a lot of work on the farm house and the cottage we are very lucky to live here and now manage 3 productive apple orchards which supply our 250 year old cider press for apple juice and cider making in October/November each year. We have 3 old decidious woodlands as well as a beautiful 10 acre arboretum with 330 specimen trees, some on the red list and a recently planted 10 acre grove of 350 Giant Redwoods (Sequoia dendrum Gigantium). The best tree for carbon capture over the whole of its 3000 year lifespan.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is large, solid, light and very private with wonderful views over the pond, vegetable garden and surronding fields.
At night, you can hear the owls and see the stars.
As the farm is old with a lot of traditional buildings visitors often feel tranported to a gone by time. Our visitors are welcome to explore and walk the Arboretum and Sequoia plantation
