Hembury Gate Farm

Just returned home from spending a glorious week in The Hayloft, and we were in love with this place. From the moment we were welcomed by Julie, late on a Friday evening, with two hunks of Mary Berry Chocolate cake, and a hot tub waiting to soak away a longer than planned 8 hour drive, we knew we were in Devon Heaven. The accommodation was scrupulously clean, the bed was so comfortable, the kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to cook with, and the sofa super relaxing at the end a long day. Apart from tractors bringing in the harvest, birdsong and braying donkeys, the countryside was peaceful and restful, with pitch black skies. Special praise needs to be levelled at our host, Julie, who, I'm sure, is nuclear powered. She never stops, but always had time to chat no matter how much this put her back, and the quality of the experience shows a keen sense of perfection that is lacking in so many places we have stayed. Her partner has crafted several pieces of fine furniture, and I loved the scandi-style dining table, which dear old Conran would have snapped up! In the post Covid world of 2021 we hope to revisit.
