These can be rented together to provide accommodation for up to 8 adults. Well behaved dogs welcome (but we ask you not to leave them on their own in the apartment at any time) with lovely walks and the river Culm nearby. You have your own patio outside the entrance to the flat. We have 8 acres where you can say hello to our pedigree Ryland sheep and our have fresh eggs from our chickens. There is a dog friendly exercise area in the field and you are also welcome to climb the hill to take in the sunset! The river Culm is an easy 5 minute walk. We live in the main farmhouse at Smithincott Barton, and we’re here to help and advice – but if you would rather have the time completely to yourself you won’t need to see us! Smithincott is a hamlet located about 1 mile from the village of Uffculme, which has two shops, a pub and a cafe. There are lovely walks straight from the farm, including the River Culm which is 5 minutes walk away. The area is great for cycling, and there are various pubs in striking distance. Despite being in the countryside we have fantastic communications. Smithincott Barton Farm is quickly accessible by road, being just a few miles to both junctions 27 and 29 on the M5. The Devon link road to Exmoor and the North West Coast is also 5 minutes away. Tiverton Parkway station is a mere 10 minute drive away, with fast trains from London taking from as little as 2 hrs 15 mins. Exeter airport is a 25 minute drive, and Bristol International Airport just over an hour. This is country "proper"! It is quiet and peaceful (apart from very noisy birds), but it's a farming area - with passing tractors (and sometimes cows and sheep) We have a very friends terrier called Charlie, some chickens and a dozen sheep. There is space for you to store bikes if you wish (the area is great for cycling).
