Upcott Farm House

My only quibble is about the leaving time. Here, as in many other places, the Covid-initiated time of 10am has been maintained. Surely it should now be possible to move it back to 11am?

We had a lovely stay in Upcott Farm. 15 of us including 7 children, the house accommodated perfectly for such a large group. Plenty of utensils, pans, cutlery, glassware etc. large rooms, plenty of seating and space for the children to run about. Which makes the whole stay that bit easier. The pool ....

We had a lovely stay in Upcott Farm. 15 of us including 7 children, the house accommodated perfectly for such a large group. Plenty of utensils, pans, cutlery, glassware etc. large rooms, plenty of seating and space for the children to run about. Which makes the whole stay that bit easier. The pool was fabulous and a great addition, used everyday. A little tired but clean. The layout of bedrooms is great, beds are a bit on the soft side. Plenty of pillows provided which is great. Stair gates are a great addition on bottom and top of all staircases. Being an old farmhouse we expected slug trails, cobwebs and spiders. The house was tidy but could have been cleaned to a higher standard. Floors, bathrooms, bedding and beds were all tidy and clean however, under cupboards and on lampshades and TV stand there was a layer of thick dust- just lacks that general level of clean that you’d expect in a holiday house. The coffee machine was not usable as there was a mouldy filter in it and the bin needed a desperate deep clean. However that being said you don’t mind returning with sandy toes. During our stay a brand new kettle was dropped off upon feedback from other holiday makers about the old kettle- seems like the owners act upon feedback. There is plenty of room for parking and the kids loved seeing the horses in the stable or walking the yard everyday. Overall we had a great stay. Finding somewhere that sleeps so many with a pool and at this price is rare. Yes the house needs a better clean but other than that it catered for all our needs.

What a lovely little house, perfect for a chilled hen weekend with plenty of space to use. Some of the beds are overly soft, but this just depends on your preference. The pool is a great space, maybe looks a little tired but completely useable. Thanks for having us

This is a charming house with lovely spacious rooms set in beautiful countryside. The pool is amazing we used it every day.

The water is warm 33 degrees most days and is only a few steps from the house. It was exactly what we were looking for and we had a fantastic week, hoping to book again for a week next year.

Very special family birthday weekend. Lovely homely venue in fantastic settings. Swimming pool was well used and very popular great fun. Many thanks we have taken away happy memories

A fantastic weekend spent celebrating my mums 60th birthday with all the family. The house was perfect and all the kids loved the pool. The only downside was that the weekend went by far to quickly!

A unique house with tons of space for a large family holiday with great facilities for dogs. Superbly equipped with all you need for large dinner parties The location is remote and beautiful. The pool was lovely and warm. Access is by a rather steep drive which needs to be carefully navigated. Owners were quick to respond to issues.

This is a very isolated house on a working farm so lots of flies. Access up the final drive is very steep and not suitable for old or low slung vehicles. There is plenty of space but the kitchen has work tops only down one side which is not sufficient for a big group. A full compliment ifvguestsxwo....

This is a very isolated house on a working farm so lots of flies. Access up the final drive is very steep and not suitable for old or low slung vehicles. There is plenty of space but the kitchen has work tops only down one side which is not sufficient for a big group. A full compliment ifvguestsxwould not all fit in the lounge as there would not be enough seating.Some of the beds were over soft and one of the showers had no hot water. Cleanliness was a real issue, we did not think they had been in to clean or Hoover and the only properly clean areas were the bathrooms and the swimming pool which was old but water was warm and clean. Needs a bit if an update and there was not so much as a pint of milk in the fridge.

We stayed at Upcott Farm House which was to turn out virtually the wettest week that Exmoor has ever seen during the last 100 years!!! The weather however did NOT dampen the fantastic time that we had in this truly wonderful Farm House and its beautiful surrounds! We had three dogs with us - so our walks were very wet and very muddy - but the fantastic drying room (every house should have one) coped magnificently with everything we threw at it! This is a proper Farm House - full of charm, warmth and plenty of space and it did not disappoint with its many modern amenities We can only imagine what it would be like with some good weather, but next year we will return, in the hope to find out exactly that!!
