Outdoor Playgrounds

The lower paddock and playground provide a wealth of space that is light and sheltered. With swings and slides and a large climbing frame as well as an inground trampoline and some open grass space with a football goal, it is perfect for some outdoor fun.

We know that England can sometimes bring with it some wet weather, that’s why the fun doesn’t stop when the rain comes. We’ve also got a Playbarn which provides hours of enjoyment year-round.

BBQ's & Picnics

We have a barbecue and picnic terrace that provides an enclosed and scenic venue for families to enjoy an alfresco party.
The terrace overlooks the hot tub and rolling hills beyond Flear. There are beautiful hanging baskets of flowers all around and large herb pots for guests' use.

The area benefits from outdoor lighting and a fantastic open chimney for barbecuing. The Picnic benches make a lovely space for all the family to enjoy a meal or for the grown ups to enjoy a glass of wine whilst watching the children play out on the lawn opposite.

The Grounds

Flear Wood is home to an ocean of Bluebells in Spring. The stream meanders down the valley and soon finds the Upper Pond where you are welcome to fish for roach and other small fish. As the water flows from the pond it continues down the valley and passes by the Pony Paddock home of Abby and Willow the Dartmoor Ponies. 

Rising above them is the steep field of the Orchard, host to a hundred or more apple trees that kindly bestow upon us the gift of fruit each autumn. We honour that gift by turning it in to our delicious Flear Farms Organic Cider for our guests to enjoy.

Pitch & Putt

Our 3 hole Pitch & Putt green can be found beyond the Alpaca Paddock, next to the Tennis Court, at the edge of Flear Farms grounds.

Golf balls and clubs for adults and children are available for free outside the office.

The wild side of Flear

The valley is just one of the many beautiful natural wonders that await you at Flear Farm. Some of our favourite wild ways to experience Flear Farm include cooking around an open fire at the fire circle, swimming in the top pond or flowing waters of the river, star gazing at the top of the orchard on a clear night or walking the woodland path at dawn.

  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.

Thank you, we had a lovely time thank you and we were really impressed with your venue.  Noah loved the play barn and it was just a shame we couldn’t make more use of the pool with George having the temperature.We loved the place thank you and you and the team were very welcoming.

We will be back

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Exceptional Experience

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.
