Escape to a simpler life with Jayne and Robert

Nestled in the depths of picture-perfect Devon countryside, you will learn everything about organic dairy farming with Jayne and Robert Lammie and their 200 Friesian dairy cows. The farm walk and visits to the milking parlour make this farm a must if you want your family to know more about how food gets from field to fork. With 2 10-person hideaways and 2 6-person hideaways with hot tubs, you'll experience panoramic views of the rolling countryside from the middle of your meadow - all in all the ideal setting for a family holiday in Devon.

Quintessential Devon on your doorstep

Want to go barefoot on the beach? Then drive to Exmouth’s famous family beach and feel the soft sand between your toes. At Billingsmoor, you are close to both the North and South coasts with sandy beaches, so plenty of choices for a day at the seaside. There is a riding stable near the farm, which makes horse-riding lessons an inviting prospect. Alternatively, the farm is just 20 miles from Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks. Exeter is only a short drive away and offers a wealth of activities including a wonderful cathedral.

What to do at Billingsmoor Farm

The surroundings of this beautiful organic dairy farm encapsulate what a family holiday in Devon is all about. A magical woodland creates a safe and natural backdrop that will provide youngsters of all ages with hours of entertainment, making dens and letting their imaginations run wild in the glorious fresh air. The cows are milked twice a day - an unmissable experience during your stay here. The oven can be fired up during your stay so you can create the unforgettable pizza of your holiday. When the night draws in, if you’ve booked a hot tub (available with 6-person hideaways and additional cost), why not have a good soak and gaze up at the starry sky before calling it a day and retiring to your comfy bed for the night.

We loved our stay on Jayne and Robert’s farm. We stayed with a 3 and 1 year old. The tent is very spacious and accommodated us all very comfortably. The starter package was helpful and we were given sufficient logs and kindling for our stay. We loved sitting in the hot tub in the evening looking out over the valley, our eldest loved the freedom of running around outside our tent and it was really enlightening learning more about dairy farming. We were very lucky with the weather as it was mostly dry, the evenings were a little chillier so we spent them in the hot tub whilst the children slept. I would definitely take an extra blanket or two during the colder months for night time. Once inside and the wood burner is warm, it is very cosy. We made use of the honesty shop and enjoyed breakfast baguettes and croissants. We used the pizza oven and the bbq as well. Jayne and Robert were very much around for any requests we had. Despite my initial concerns of glamping with young children, this worked out so well and we all had the best time. Thank you for having us!

We had a brilliant time staying at Billingsmoor Farm. The views across the valley from our tent were stunning, and we loved the hot tub and the pizza oven. Jayne, Robert and Alex could not have been more friendly and helpful; nothing was too much trouble. They were wonderful with our toddler - who really loved being on the farm - and happy to answer our many questions about farming. We even saw a calf being born, which was amazing! We would highly recommend a stay in this beautiful location.

Fantastic stay! Our 2 children who loved being on a working farm, seeing the cows and looking after our chickens, who they named Michael and Elsa. The tents are fab! They have everything you need and we enjoyed building the fire each day. I would recommend getting a tent with a hot tub

This was our third Featherdown farm experience and just as lovely a setting as the others, with wonderful views. Jane and Robert were extremely welcoming and made us feel immediately relaxed on our arrival. We enjoyed seeing the cows crossing the field in front of us twice per day for milking and it was great to see them being milked down at the barn. There was a friendly pig and sheep that enjoyed our scraps. Our 'rented' chickens tolerated our children playing with them although sadly they didn't produced any eggs for us this time. The hot tub fire requires dedicated attention to get to temperature but it pays off eventually. It was pretty wet at times during our stay but it always felt cosy in the tents and we all slept well.

The farm shop

It’s great for the basics and usually even better for local produce and low food miles. And every Feather Down farm shop operates on an honesty basis.
