- Quiet rural site on a working farm 10 minutes' drive from Honiton
- A 15-minute drive from Seaton, Sidmouth and the South West Coast Path
- Kitchen door sales and tea room for homemade meals and takeaway food
Foodies who fancy a farm break, step this way… Bovey's Down Farm is a place where it’s possible to eat very well indeed.
This rural site on a working beef farm in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, 10 minutes’ drive from Honiton. And with that setting comes some splendid feasting material: pick up home-cooked cakes, pies, traditional pasties and homemade burgers from the farmhouse kitchen to eat at the picnic area, or settle in for drinks, lunches, cream teas and evening meals in the tea room or beer garden. You can also acquire bread, ribeye steaks and gluten-free sausages from the site for an evening barbecue or campfire brekkie.
Once suitably fed and watered, there’s plenty to do nearby: you can get down to the Devon coast (and the resorts of Sidmouth and Seaton) in about 15 minutes’ drive, get out and about for walks/bike rides on the many country lanes and bridleways in the area or play a round of golf a couple of miles away.
Getting a taste of farm life is pretty straightforward too: guests can join owner Gerald for a walking tour to meet the Aberdeen Angus cattle, ducks and hens and pick up tips on the wildlife that can be spotted around the place (lots of birdlife and the occasional fox or badger…)
Facilities on site include toilets, showers, a launderette, a washing-up area and a free wifi connection to help you plan all those days out.

From the manager...
Firstly, i apologise if you thought I was unfriendly to start off, but when check in time is between 3pm & 7pm we hope our guests will keep to that window and respect us for the reasons in doing so and not throw their weight around trying to pitch much earlier in the day. A sight such as ours has pitches changing on a daily basis and we allocated all close together for you, this was planned earlier and they all had EHU, which is always the case and never on a first come first served basis. |

Local attractions
Once you’ve met the animals on site, get set to say hi to some more furry pals at The Donkey Sanctuary (10 minutes’ drive) before greeting some rather more exotic beasts at Axe Valley Wildlife Park (20 minutes) and Yarak Birds of Prey (half an hour).
Trading countryside for coast is a fine idea for a day or two as well – it’ll take you around 15 minutes to drive down to Seaton or Sidmouth for beach days, paddles and strolls on the South West Coast Path. Lovely Lyme Regis (25 minutes) is another fab option – sign up for fishing trips here and you might be lucky enough to take home a fistful of mackerel for tea.
Got a bit more time to fill? How about a day of horse riding (five minutes), floral wanders at Burrow Farm Gardens (20 minutes) and Bicton Park Botanical Gardens (25 minutes) or a whole heap of outdoor rides, indoor soft play areas and shows at Crealy Theme Park (half an hour)? Lyme Bay Winery is 20 minutes away too, should you need a tipple to go with your evening barbecue…

Good afternoon, Disliked the noise from a road so small it doesn't even have a number?
Choosing your own pitch, as you discovered is totally impractical. all pitches are preselected, nothing unusual about that ,not only ensuring families and friends are able to be together ,but also tents and caravans need different area's. As for the WIFI & 4G did you even come down and collect the password from me to enable you both to connect to our recently installed full site signal ?( only added in July, at a huge expense to ourselves for your benefit.)
Happily, we get many returning campers, having stayed numerous times in the the past 27 years.
Kind regards, Boveys Down Farm.
