Escape to a world of rustic charm and organic wonders at Ashclyst Farm Hostel – a delightful National Trust farmhouse nestled on the fringes of the enchanting Ashclyst Forest. Hosted by Martyn and Lorraine, the tenant farmers of Killerton Estate, this idyllic retreat offers more than just a place to lay your head.
The farmhouse exudes warmth with its spacious rooms boasting double, twin, and single beds, each adorned with fully-made duvets to cocoon you in comfort. Guests are treated to full access to the farmhouse’s heart – the kitchen, dining rooms, and lounge – where stories are exchanged and laughter echoes. A walled courtyard leads to the old wash-house and servant’s quarters, now repurposed as secure cycle storage and a drying room.
The pastoral setting and serene lanes provide an ideal haven for families, hikers, and cyclists yearning to immerse themselves in the Devon Countryside. Ashclyst Forest beckons just steps away, offering a realm of wildlife, tranquil strolls, and leisurely picnics. Effortlessly venture to the coast, with the seaside of Exmouth (15 miles) and Sidmouth (13 miles) merely a short drive away.
For those seeking wider horizons, the journey to both Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks is an easy undertaking, and Exeter City is only 8 miles away. The Two Counties Way Long Distance Path beckons within 2 miles, while the off-road cycle route from Topsham to Exmouth (National Cycle Route 2) is a mere 8 miles away.
To ensure your spot in this slice of rural paradise, bookings can be made via phone or email. You can book a stay at the farmhouse as an individual, a group or even as sole use.
