Manor Farm & Gardens
Our retreat home is set on 2-acres of land in the beautiful English countryside. It is believed to sit on the site of the former Illeigh Farm ancient manor, which can be dated back as far as 1303. Bordering Somerset, Devon and Dorset means the Jurassic coast is within easy reach.
The farmhouse is split into two separate dwellings, Manor Farmhouse and the adjoining Manor Cottage. We can comfortably accommodate up to 16 people offering single, twin, triple, and dorm-style occupancy.

Our 16th Century farmhouse is Grade Il listed. It has 5 bedrooms and can sleep up to 11 people. Some rooms are offered as dorm style occupancy, which means you may be sharing a room with other guests - a great way to make new firends! Twin beds in private rooms can be arranged upon request.

Adjoining the Farm House, Manor Cottage is self-contained with its own kitchen and living room. It’s perfect for up to 5 friends to share for a weekend swimming getaway. Available to book exclusively or individual rooms.
