Ellishayes Farm

Ellishayes Farmhouse is a beautifully preserved Grade II listed 16th‑century home, set within a peaceful valley just outside the bustling market town of Honiton. Occupying a private wing of the historic farmhouse, it enjoys its own entrance and gardens, ensuring privacy throughout your stay. Rich in character and period charm, the farmhouse enjoys far‑reaching countryside views from the front garden and provides a wonderfully atmospheric setting for family gatherings, special occasions and the creation of lasting holiday memories, as well as relaxed rural escapes. Inside, the house showcases a wealth of original features, including exposed beams, wooden panelling, stone mullion windows and impressive fireplaces. At the heart of the home is the striking dining room, with panelled walls and ceiling beams, creating an ideal space for long, sociable meals and shared celebrations. The main sitting room is warm and welcoming, centred around a substantial inglenook fireplace with a wood‑burning stove, while a separate snug offers a cosy second retreat, complete with its own wood-burner. The farmhouse kitchen and breakfast room combines traditional style with modern convenience, featuring an AGA alongside a range cooker with electric oven and gas hob, as well as a dishwasher and fridge freezer. A relaxed breakfast table sits beneath characterful stone mullion windows, with the kitchen overlooking the pretty front gardens and enjoying views across the surrounding countryside. An external utility room provides useful additional space, equipped with a washing machine and tumble dryer. Accommodation is generous and thoughtfully arranged across four bedrooms, making the house well suited to families or groups of friends coming together. Two king‑size bedrooms both have en‑suite facilities, while a further twin bedroom and a single bedroom with an optional pull‑out bed are served by a spacious family bathroom, complete with a roll‑top bath and separate shower cubicle. Outside, the private front garden provides a lovely spot to relax and unwind, with uninterrupted rural views that change beautifully throughout the day. Ellishayes Farmhouse is pet friendly, making it a great choice for those wishing to explore the countryside with their four‑legged companions. The surrounding area offers plentiful walking routes, quiet lanes and bridleways straight from the doorstep, with the nearby Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty providing miles of unspoilt trails and panoramic views. For seaside walking, the South West Coast Path is easily reached, offering dramatic cliff walks, sheltered coves and far‑reaching coastal scenery. Nearby Honiton offers day‑to‑day essentials and retains the charm of a traditional Devon market town, with its much‑loved street market adding to its local character. The surrounding countryside is dotted with excellent farm shops selling seasonal produce and local specialities, ideal for stocking up during your stay. A little further afield, the Jurassic Coast awaits, with the Regency charm of Sidmouth and Lyme Regis’s iconic Cobb Harbour — famously featured in many period dramas — both making rewarding day trips. The pretty coastal villages of Beer and Seaton are also within easy reach, where the heritage tramway follows the River Axe estuary through unspoilt countryside, while the historic city of Exeter is well worth a visit. Ellishayes Farmhouse offers a rare combination of historic character, generous space and a truly peaceful setting — a place to come together, celebrate, and enjoy memorable time with family and friends while discovering the very best of Devon’s countryside and coastline.
