If you’re looking for something a little smaller, our charming Haven cottage might be the one for you. Originally built in the 17th century, many of the original features, like the oak lintels and wooden beams remain. In the past, the cows were milked in the double room and the milk bottled in the bunk bed room, which was once a dairy. The Haven has an open plan design, with a fitted kitchen and a spacious lounge. The views from this cottage are spectacular, you can see rolling hills and down to the ocean. The stable door opens onto a patio, where you can find a garden area with views of the fields and farm animals. We care for the cottages ourselves and ensure high standards throughout. There are stunning rural views across the surrounding countryside, which you can enjoy from the site, as both cottages offer outdoor space complete with garden furniture for those sun worshippers who are happy to recline outside.

Bampfield Farm is a working farm that has been farmed by the same family for 54 years. It has always been a dairy farm, in the early days, the milk was delivered to residents of the neighbouring towns and villages, when what is now Haven Cottage was used for milking cows. Nowadays, the milk is collected by a tanker and taken away to be bottled or made into cheese. There are still cows on the farm and we offer the opportunity to see the cows being milked and looking after their calves in the spring time. We also rear free range chickens that you can spot around the farm. You can collect the freshly laid eggs for your breakfast and homegrown beef and pork sausages are available to buy onsite.
