indoor heated swimming pool

Indoor Swimming Pool & Steam Room

The indoor Pool and Spa boasts a hand-tiled 40′ indoor pool, maintained at 31˚C. It's larger and warmer than most other pools, so you can have a proper swim in here! There's lots of room to play and splash around with the family, so our advice is to do lots of both. There are baskets on the side full of floats, swimming noodles, and water toys for the little ones. There is a family changing room, toilet facilities and baby changing . The Indoor Pool complex is open from 7am to 10pm every day. 

Perched poolside in the indoor pool area, the spacious, star-lit Steam Room and Infrared Sauna is a very relaxing space with plenty of room for the whole family or if it’s only you you can lie down.

indoor play barn with climbing frame and push cars

The Playbarn

This is so much more than just a games room.
There is a Soft Play area, buckets of toys, various baby-walkers and ride on cars & trikes, a play-mat, a soft-floor playground with climbing frame, slide and swings, a two-storey wendy house with a little kitchen inside, a giant enclosed trampoline, and table tennis, a pool table and table football for the older ones.

Being in the Playbarn does not have to be a tiring experience for the parents. There are comfortable sofas around in the space and a selection of current magazines to enjoy whilst the children play. The Playbarn is gently heated from beneath, so despite its size it maintains a pleasant temperature even in winter.

A joyful baby splashes in a swimming pool, laughing with eyes closed, while being supported by an adult wearing a red swimsuit in the background.

Swimming Lessons

We offer one-on-one swimming lessons here at Flear for our our guests and their children. As well as being the perfect place to teach your children to swim, our heated indoor pool is ideal for all members of the family wanting to improve their swimming ability in a safe environment.

  We all had a fab time

Dear Camilla and Barney, 

Thank you for having us, we all had a fab time, especially my son who is now a trampoline addict.

It really was as wonderful as we remembered it and we look forward to coming back many times in the future and I’m sure our children will grow up to have magical memories of adventures at Flear Farm as we do.

Many thanks.

  Wonderful Stay

Hi all,

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

The cottage was impeccable, a perfect balance between a home and a holiday and the facilities on site were again at such a high standard for everyone to enjoy. It is clear how well thought out and cared for Flear Farm is and we all had a wonderful time and we’re not ready to leave.

We will hopefully be back and have already begun recommending to friends.

Thanks again.

David
  Wonderful

Dear Barney and Camilla,
Thank you so much for making our family Christmas weekend in Flear House so wonderful. The house is beautiful and with all the Christmas decorations and the stunning Christmas trees which you kindly provided, it was very special indeed. This was our second visit to Flear Farm and I'm sure it'll not be our last.
As always, the play barn, swimming pool, tennis courts, woodland walks etc were thoroughly enjoyed by all. Merry Christmas to you and the boys.

Zoe & Peter
  We all had the most wonderful week

We all had the most wonderful week, and for a three generation family that is certainly an achievement. I truly think you have thought of everything and we all really appreciated the high quality of everything in the house, from kitchen appliances to bathrooms and to beautiful beds and bedding. Everything in the house, combined with the fantastic facilities around the site, made for a truly wonderful and relaxing week. The grandchildren had a brilliant time with the play barn, the indoor pool and meeting the animals. The lovely weather was also a bonus and we were able to make full use of the pool and barbeque. 

Thank you once again and I hope we will return in the future.

Sue, John & family
  The Best We Have Stayed At

Dear All at Flear Farm

Many thanks. We had a great time. We have stopped as a family at a number of similar family holiday cottage complexes in Dorset and North and South Devon. Flear was voted by everyone as the best we have stayed at. Only problem we have is that our grandchildren loved Betty and their parents are under great pressure to have a cat!

  idyllic holiday venue

Hello Barney and Camilla

May I say what an idyllic holiday venue you have. It is ideal for the smaller children and all 4 of our grandchildren aged from 2 to 8 loved it especially the play barn. Flear House was perfect for us and really suited the family. The peace and quiet was lovely and very safe for all the children.

Thank you for everything.

Dear Barney and Camilla

We can’t thank you enough for the wonderful holiday and warm welcome too. We will most certainly be back and are telling everyone we know who have children, that Flear Farm is unbeatable as a child friendly location. (quite apart from the beautiful location and splendid accommodation).

Thank you once again for such an exceptional experience. Hope to see you all again soon.
