“Comfort and sanity - far from the madding crowd”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011

A very friendy family run B & B. Thank you Jaye and Helen - we had a wonderful stay. Comfortable and spacious room, freedom of the fields around the farm and we loved the field walk to the Black Venus pub. Great breakfast set us up for some good walks - on the moor (Exmoor) and along the coast near Lynton.

We will be back - with our grandchildren - they will love it!

Room Tip: If you want a big room (the cheapest?) good for muddy boots and dog - Moles Chamber. For views - C...

“We'll definately be back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2011

person found this review helpful

We've been to Twitchen Farm a couple of times now and find it to be one of the most relaxing and friendly places that we have ever been to. We are always given a warm welcome and nothing seems to be too much of a problem for our hosts, who thankfully are also walking encyclopaedias and ordnance survey maps of the area!! Very handy when you know nothing of the area yourself and need advice on where to go and what to do.

We have a toddler and a dog and both are well and most importantly, safely accomodated here. They both love it. The rooms are of a more than generous size, the facilities great and the surrounding views are stunning as are the nearby walks. There is a nearby country pub within walking distance, which sells great food and drink.

If you want to truly absorb life on exmoor, I couldn't recommend a better place to stay. We'll be back.

“Good locale but still looking tired”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2011

Have stayed here twice now over a period of 4 years. Nothing had changed. The room is exactly the same & still looks tired. Bathroom door would not lock & now smells slightly as if drains are blocked or possibly from damp
The breakfast is ok although to my mind a cooked breakfast should come with a least 2 sausages & two rashers of bacon.
Maybe it's just me but I feel there is no atmosphere.

“relaxed and friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

Just returned from walking holiday with my mum. this is a great base for exploring Exmoor, the room was spacious and the breakfast very filling it will last you the whole day, get in first if you want the strawberries! There is a very relaxed feel to this working farm which is what you want when you are exhausted from a long day walking. The pub in the village serves excellent food and friendly with it. a very pretty place.

“Beauitful place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2011

My husband and I recently stayed here and loved it. The breakfast was superb and plentiful. We loved the walks around the farm with our dogs. The Black Venus pub is within walking distance with lovely food and friendly people. The rooms are clean and spacious. We have recommended this to a family member who is always looking for good places to stay who allow dogs!!
