Meet and unpack your supermarket order

Currently we have a growing flock of sheep and Spring gives you the opportunity to join us in lambing, bottle-feeding lambs, shearing and rolling fleeces.

Join us at feeding time for our micro pigs, Pinky and Perky.  Come in the pen and make sure that they have a satisfying scratch. 

Help us collect eggs from our brood of hens in the morning and wonder at the straight backs of our Indian Runner Ducks and why they don't fall over backwards (apparently they can do!).

Ducks, geese and a cheeky guinea fowl make up the rest of the contingent whilst you are guaranteed a warm welcome from our Sprocker puppy, Ruby. 

Although we are surrounded by fields and countryside and no near neighbours, we have a wonderful local pub in walking distance (Castle Inn) - make sure to book in advance.

There are some lovely walks and cycle rides straight out of East Trayne and the neighbouring villages offer a variety of pubs within a short drive.

George Nympton also has a Grade 2 listed, 15th century church worthy of a visit and the village community runs a variety of events throughout the year, which we will be sure to let you know about during your stay.

It's only a five minute drive to the bustling market town of South Molton.  There you will find a thriving Pannier market on Thursdays and Saturdays from 8am to 1pm, offering everything from foodstuffs to arts and crafts. 

The town also has a variety of independent shops from a cheese shop and delicatessen, clothes shops and a good range of vintage homeware outlets to great restaurants, takeaways and tea shops plus a Sainsburys for your day to day needs.  The town also has a museum featuring an original cider press as well as petrol stations, hairdressers, doctors, dentists and a local hospital.

There is a swimming pool and the Quince Honey Farm is a great attraction for children who want to be a bee keeper for a day.

Regular events are held in the town including vintages rallies, antiques fairs, October's Apple day and food festivals amongst many more. For more on what's going on locally visit South Molton Information.

25 minutes away and you can be in Barnstaple with it's own Pannier Market, theatre, cinema, attractions and larger range of shops and restaurants and perhaps even make a day trip to Exeter, only 50 minutes by car.

North Devon is a unique part of the country, combining breathtaking countryside with a varied and spectacular coastline.

East Trayne is a perfect location to explore both.  We are three miles from Exmoor and nearby South Molton is referred to as its gateway.   

The beautiful, varied landscape of Exmoor National Park will take your breath away from lush green forests to wide expanses of moorland and deep valleys.  Look out for the Exmoor ponies, the Historic Tarr Steps and perhaps take the steam train from Woody Bay (Lynton and Barnstaple Railway Trust) above the stunning Heddon Valley.

As you cross Exmoor to Lynton and Lynmouth, with its funicular water-powered lift (Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway), carry on to Valley of the Rocks and you reach the most beautiful and varied coastline imaginable.  

Then to the sheltered cove with it's rockpools at Combe Martin, along to Ilfracombe showcasing the preserved Victorian Tunnels Beaches and the imposing statue of Damien Hirst's 'Verity' guarding the harbour, which offers a variety of sightseeing and fishing trips by boat or perhaps do a day trip to Lundy Island on MS Oldenberg.

Then over to Woolacombe, Puttsborough and Croyde for sea, sand and surfing with more than a few little hidden coves offering peace and quiet even at the highest of seasons.  Walking and cycling are a must with a multitude of paths and byways plus the South West Cost Path to traverse.

For the little ones there are many theme parks and attractions to enjoy including The Big Sheep, The Milky Way, Watermouth Castle and Exmoor Zoo to name but a few.

Comfortable chilled stay
Beautiful location. Comfortable, relaxed stay. Welcome pack was a nice touch as was bathroom toiletries, the kitchen had everything you needed. Beds were very comfortable and the two en-suites worked well for us. Shame the weather was typically British but we enjoyed a day out to the beaches, Arlington House (National Trust house), Rosemore RHS garden and also The Castle Inn for a nice evening meal.

Lovely, comfortable and we'll equipped cottages
We had a lovely stay, the welcome hamper was fantastic and the views were wonderful. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped. We took our spaniel on plenty of long walks as sections of the coastal path and Exmoor were never too far away. We'd recommend and we'd certainly come back.

Family Break
Exmoor view was the perfect place to stay for our getaway. The cottage was the perfect size and equipped with everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed waking up to the views across Exmoor and watching the sunsets. My little boy also enjoyed exploring around the farm, giving the pigs a good scratch and interacting with the baby cows. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly reccomend as a place to stay for a family, there is so much to do here that we will definately be back.

Peaceful break
The cottage was very smart, clean, well equipped and tastefully decorated. We particularly appreciated the extra touches such as the welcome hamper which included home made muesli, tea bags, marmalade, milk, sausages, bacon and a bottle of sparkling wine! The kitchen was well equipped, the wi-fi worked well, as did the large smart tv. The location is very peaceful and overlooks a field of grazing sheep. Our children particularly enjoyed scratching ‘pinky and perky’ the not so micro pigs with the brush provided. The owners got back to us very quickly about everything and were on hand if any problems arose. There was also a comprehensive book in the property about local attractions, facilities and attractions. We would highly recommend for a comfortable, peaceful get away.

Exmoor View cottage-
Superb holiday cottage, the approach enhanced by being greeted by Pinky & Perky, two very friendly pigs. The inside of the cottage didn't disappoint, from the two ground floor beautifully appointed en suite bedrooms to the first floor open plan kitchen and sitting room. The cottage is the best equipped we have ever stayed in and the welcome hamper was beyond superb. The evening meal that we had ordered for our first night was absolutely delicious - so delicious in fact that there was not a crumb left to give to the pigs!!!!! We shall definitely be returning to this wonderful place.
