Farmhouse Cottage - C12th Thatched Cottage

Hay Meadow Farm is a 12th century thatched manor house with origins dating even further back. Mentioned in the Doomsday Book the farm is stepped in history and the cottage with its inglenook fireplaces and exposed wooden beams is brimming with character.

Each room is tastefully decorated and very loosely themed around wild meadow flowers. The bedding and towels are 100% natural cotton, mattress that are organic, luxurious and extremely comfortable, even the curtains are handmade from organic hemp. The carpets are pure wool, light fittings are hand forged iron and combined with the wood and stone of the building the feeling of everything being natural adds to the sense of history.

Dining / Sitting Room:
A lovely room to just sit and absorb the charm of this historic building. Features the oldest dated part of the house, the inglenook fireplace, dating to the late 12th century. This room was originally the farmhouse kitchen, evident from the bread oven and a creamery for making the famous Devon clotted cream.
