Wir haben im Juni vier erholsame, ruhige Nächte und wundervolle Tage auf Kate’s Farm verbracht. Von der freundlichen Begrüßung bei der Anreise bis zur herzlichen Verabschiedung bei unserer Abreise war es ein perfekter Aufenthalt, der besser nicht hätte sein können. Die Farm liegt absolut ruhig und ländlich mit einem großen Garten hinter der Farm, das Haus ist schön und urig, z.b. hat es noch einen sehr großen Kamin im Aufenthalts- und Frühstückszimmer. Es ist alles sehr liebevoll und mit Blick aufs Detail eingerichtet, man merkt direkt, dass Kate ihr B&B schon sehr lange betreibt und Wert auf Gemütlichkeit legt. Unser Familienzimmer lag im ersten Stock, war riesig mit einem Doppelbett, einem Einzelbett und noch einem Stockbett! Hier würde eine Familie mit 3 Kindern locker Platz finden. Das Zimmer ist ebenfalls geschmackvoll eingerichtet und mit allen Annehmlichkeiten ausgestattet. Der Wasserdruck in der Dusche ist sehr gut und das Wasser wird schnell warm. Das Frühstück wird von Kate in ihrer Küche zubereitet und schmeckt ausgezeichnet, und ist sehr reichhaltig. Obst und Cerealien stehen jeden Morgen bereit. Man fühlt sich durch die Atmosphäre und ganz besonders durch Kate‘s Herzlichkeit und fröhliche Ausstrahlung sofort wie zu Hause. Ach ja, Kate‘s B&B ist hundefreundlich, sie hat selber zwei süße kleine Hunde, in die sich unser Sohn und unser Hund sofort verliebt haben.Auch hat uns Kate viel über Fossilien erzählen und beibringen können, wir durften uns sogar ihr Werkzeug für die Fossilienjagd ausleihen.Ich könnte noch ewig weitererzählen, was alles den Aufenthalt bei Kate so besonders gemacht hat … aber stattdessen sagen ich und meine Familie: Danke liebe Kate, dass wir bei Dir einen Teil unseres Urlaubs verbringen durften! Wir hatten eine traumhafte Zeit auf deiner Farm, Du warst eine tolle, warmherzige, lustige Gastgeberin, mit einem sehr guten Musikgeschmack ;)Xxx

Lovely old house with plenty of character and nice sized room,we had the family room with plenty of space. Breakfast was lovely all locally sourced food and the host was very welcoming and friendly. Overall very good and would happily stay again

loved kate and would go again

Response

Thank you so much. You would be very welcome again!

We stayed at Kate's place alongwith my mother inlaw and we had a really comfortable and pleasant stay. Kate was very welcoming and the place felt as a home away from home.She really looked after all our needs and the 2 dogs, Maissey and Rambo were a treat to spend time with. The breakfast was great and the stay was peaceful in a lovely rural setting.We will go back again to spend some more time there.Thank you Kate.

Response

Thank you so much Laxmi for the lovely review. It was a pleasure to look after you all, hope to see you again sometime.Best wishes Kate

This was a very comfortable homely stay. Kate was very welcoming and made us feel really athome even lighting the fire in the huge inglenook, for when we returned from our evening out(it can be chilly at night in May.) We were nervous about taking our two dogs but we didn't need to be. They were soon running around with her dogs in the enclosed garden. Kate is obviously a 'doggie' person and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip, including a generous full English breakfast.Thank you Kate.

Response

Very welcome......anytime. Thank you !

As Americans traveling abroad on an extended (tiring) holiday, Kate was a very welcome respite where we could recover ourselves in her lovely B&B very close-by to Lyme Regis. Kate was so helpful in many ways that were beyond the norm for a hostess. And her breakfast is fantastic!

We (family of two adults and three young boys, plus a 6 month old puppy) stayed at Kate's B&B in Feb 2024 in the large family room for 3 nights. The B&B was a superb find, perfectly located in the quiet hinterland of Lyme Regis with easy A-road access to large swathes of the coastline. The old farmhouse is quaint and typical for this part of the world, but the beds had (relatively) new and very comfortable mattresses. Kate has been extremely welcoming, accommodating, kind and understanding (very important when traveling with young active children!). The common/breakfast room has a large fireplace with an inviting fire in the wood burner and a play corner for the children. The host's breakfast was just perfect, accommodating the diverse needs/desires of the family, and setting us up for a full day at the beach fossil hunting. We're looking forward to returning next year to Kate's B&B.

First time at a farm b/bBreakfast was ample, plenty of options, host was very accommodating. Our room was the garden room, comfortable clean and bright,with its own door onto the garden ideal for letting our dog out into the vast garden without disturbing anyone.Would recommend.

A lovely stay and Kate was so welcoming. A beautiful view from the garden which we enjoyed too. Breakfast was excellent. Thanks

Kate was very friendly and welcoming, with a cup of tea on arrival after our long drive and helpful advice on local services before we headed out meet local friends for supper. Our room was warm and cozy overnight with space for dog beds too. After a morning dog walk along the nearby lanes Kate had an absolutely delicious breakfast ready and waiting for us. Thank you Kate for a wonderful stay, we hope to see you again in future visits to Devon.

Kate is a lovely person who gave us a very warm welcome and made our stay very enjoyable , breakfast was more than adequate and very enjoyable . Kate has two very adorable dogs and they are vey friendly .

Really enjoyed our two nights in the garden room. The door opening out into the garden made for lovely summer’s evenings. Breakfast was delicious.Highly recommended

Stayed for 2 nights only but felt very positive about the visit. Property has bags of old world charm and Kate herself could not have been more helpful. Would stay again if we are ever in that part of the country again.

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review.Much appreciated. Take care. Best wishes Kate

We had a very comfortable and interesting stay at Kate's farm when we stayed overnight en route to visit our daughter.Kate is a very amiable and hospitable host and made us feel very welcome.Her interesting farmhouse is comfortable and refreshingly different from many we have stayed in before with its ancient beams and enormous fireplace dating back many hundreds of years.Fascinating.We had a beautiful breakfast, perfect for our journey onwards.Thank you Kate for your kindness.

Very nice stay lovely host we'll recommended

Ment as an overnight escape, this truly delivered a unique, relaxing and enjoyable get away. In a beautiful location, we were able to watch pheasants, kestrels, wood peckers,finches and tits on the garden. Stunning views to enjoy from a 15th century home. The rooms were unique and Kate the hostess was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble and an amazing breakfast to see us on our way. Would book again in a heart beat.

Response

Oh Emma, thank you so much for your fabulous review. So lovely to meet you both.Enjoy the courgettes. X

As soon as my jack Russel Roxie and I turned up we were welcomed by Kate and her dogs Maisey and Rambo.We were shown inside to our comfy little suite and shown around.We had lots of lovely walks in the lanes and Kate cooked a great full English breakfast in the morning with a special sausage for Roxie.Thanks Kate, see you again soon.

Response

Thank you so much Greg. Lovely review,now every dog will want a sausage! Also for the advice. Much appreciated. Welcome back anytime. Best wishes Kate

Stayed in the garden room, next to the lounge. Small but no problem at all, especially as bathroom and shower room good size. Breakfasts lovely made with local produce.

Response

Thank you very much for your great review. Glad you enjoyed your stay and lovely to meet you both. Best wishes Kate

Amazing breakfast and a great family room

Response

Thank you for your lovely review.Hope to see you all again sometime.Best wishes Kate

The accommodation was exactly as advertised, a proper farmhouse B&B. Lovely location, Kate was a lovely host, very comfortable and a lovely breakfast.Thoroughly recommend.

We stayed for one night on our way through and thought the family room was wonderful. Enough space for a family of 5 and everything spotlessly clean. Kate is lovely, welcoming and sweet with the kids. Her breakfast was quite simply tremendous. Lyme Regis is 10 minutes down the road and absolutely lovely. We would definitely recommend.

Kate could not have been more accommodating.She was welcoming and kept a very clean establishment with a good sense of humour to make it a memorable stay.

Response

Thank you very much Bob for your lovely review. Maybe next Sidmouth Folk Festival?

We had a lovely stay at the farm. The facilities in the room were fine and the shower excellent ( a joy after a long walk on the coast).Our room had direct access to the garden where we were able to sit in the afternoon or early morning to have our tea; this was a bonus for us. We didn't make much use of the visitor's lounge, but would do so if the weather had been inclement.Kate, our host, was very friendly and made our stay very enjoyable.

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review Karen, much appreciated. Great meeting all three of you. Bestwishes, Kate.

Set in a beautiful location.A lovely old farmhouse. The breakfast was delicious . Kate was extremely welcomingKate was really lovely with our children taking time to talk to them about crystals and fossils.We loved seeing the dogs too who are very sweet .A lovely B&B

Response

Hi LucyThank you so much for your lovely comments. Lovely to meet you and your wonderful daughters.You did leave a glasses case with beadwork. Would you like me to send it back?All best wishes,Kate

We are a family of 2 adults/ 4 children - with a vegan dietKate was very accommodating and was happy to cater our dietary requirements - the kids said it was the best breakfast ever - her traditional fried toast was a real treat! The breakfast was wonderful and the accommodation spacious and inviting - her property has many traditional features like a gorgeous stove and living room with toys for little ones - and we enjoyed her little tour of the greenhouse, and all the info she shared about the local area was interesting and the kids just loved to listen to her stories about fossil hunting and the local area5 stars Kate, thanks so so much xxx Rebecca, Reli and kids

Response

Thank you so much. I am glad you all had a great time. I have done my job!Hope to meet you all again sometime. All best wishes,Kate.

We have just returned from one weeks' stay and loved our visit. Kate is very welcoming. We took Harvey our Cockapoo who was welcomed and enjoyed the company of Kate's dogs. Our room opened out on to the back garden which was perfect for him, with a beautiful view of a lake. Kate's breakfasts were excellently cooked with a great selection and we had quorn sausages on request. We will definitely be returning. Kate is an excellent host and lives in a beautiful farmhouse!

Response

Hi LisaThank you so much for your lovely review.Much appreciated.Glad you had a great stay, and hopefully, see you all again. Best wishes Kate

Brilliant, had a wonderful time at Kates Bed and breakfast. A girls weekend away with Brodie the Golden Retriever. Beautiful quiet location, lots of walks and easy access to Axminister and Lyme Regis, both of which we visited and loved. The house itself is amazing, very very old. The fireplace was stunning and was lit morning and evening. It was a real treat to snuggle in front of it with a glass of wine in the evening. Very dog friendly, Brodie loved it, especially the treats and playing with Roy in the garden. Kate is lovely, so welcoming and cooks a pretty good breakfast, very very yummy, the freshly picked flowers on the table was so thoughtful, Thank you Kate, is was lovely to meet you, we left feeling very relaxed and happy with flowers to plant in our own gardens. Looking forward to planning another trip.

Response

Thank you so much Jo ! Lovely review. Hope we meet again. All best wishes,Kate

My husband and two dogs stayed with Kate for 3 nights. The property is a beautiful building set in a gorgeous quiet part of Dorset. Kate was so welcoming to both us and the dogs, the relaxed atmosphere really felt like a home from home and Kates breakfasts were just delicious! We will be staying there again when we are back in Devon.

A lovely rustic farmhouse, surrounded by gorgeous countryside views. This farmhouse is perfect for families, couples, friends, and dogs. There is also a big garden for dogs and kids to run around in. :)Kate is amazing, she is a wonderful host and couldn’t do more for you.The breakfast was one of the best we have had in a long time, soooo good.Overall a fab stay, would highly recommend.Thank you Kate :) Xx

Kate was very welcoming and accommodating to the various needs of our extended family, visiting Lyme Regis on a torrentially wet weekend!The rooms were comfy and the breakfast was delicious!Thank you Kate!

We had a great time- despite the weather. Kate made us very welcome , and we enjoyeda nice warm log fire in the evenings, also Scrabble which Kate supplied -even a pencil and paper to score! The bed was very comfortable And two white dressing gowns were a nice touch. The breakfasts really did taste of farm cookingand were plentiful in quantity and great on quality. Altogether comfortable and homely

Fantastic location for exploring the area. Quiet rustic farmhouse with large comfy bed. Fabulous cooked breakfast and the most welcoming host ! Kate was very friendly and her two dogs are just adorable. Lovely large garden and pretty nature reserve within a stones throw. Will definitely be returning next year !

Very comfy and spacious room in an old farmhouse, in a beautiful country setting.Kate is warm and welcoming.Excellent home cooked breakfast. Quiet and peaceful.

Kate's Farm is a comfortable B&B in a characterful house in lovely peaceful countryside. Kate was a welcoming and friendly host. We stayed in the large family room which was as spacious as the name suggests although the ensuite shower room was very small. Plenty of choice for breakfast with everything very tasty and well presented. Kate's dogs, Rambo and Maisie, are lovely and very friendly.

Kate's B&B was such a joy. A beautiful old house, delicious breakfast and friendly welcoming host.

Thank you for a lovely break and patience with 2 bouncy young dogs, also a child with certain food demand Service!

This is a B&B in a quiet locaton near the coast.It is an amazing old house, very comfortable beds, and super friendly dogs.Breakfasts were amazing!And Kate was a friendly and kind host, who looked after us well, including when one of us had a bout of insomnia!

Lovely character farmhouse in beautiful rueal location, Kate was a great host, the cooked breakfast was delicious, the view from my room out onto the Devon countryside was stunning, so glad I found Kates Farmhouse..

Kate made us feel very welcome in her wonderful home

We stayed at Kate’s farm when we were visiting for a friends wedding - the location could not have been more perfect as we could see the reception venue from our bedroom window! Kate was really friendly and helpful and couldn’t have done more to make us feel welcome. She even drove us into Beer on our first evening and took me on a walk with her lovely dogs. The B&B is really pretty and traditional and our room was was clean, comfortable and really well equipped. I loved that it retained a lot of the original features and that the back door opened out onto the garden. Breakfast was made to order and delicious and served next to the huge ancient fireplace. Would definitely stay again and wished we’d requested an extra night!

A delight to retreat here after the noise of Lyme Regis.And only 10 mins from the city.

Kate was a wonderful host and really looked after uswe stayed in the family room for two nights. we had everything we needed and the breakfast in the morning was amazing and catered to all our needs.We will certainly be using her again

Response

Thank you so much James for your lovely review. Much appreciated.Great to meet all five of you, hopefully see you all sometime in the future.Best wishes Kate

I have to say I have never felt so welcome in somebody else’s home. Clean, comfortable room, I had my own door which opened on to the beautiful garden. So peaceful and relaxing, overlooking the stunning Lower Bruckland nature reserve, which is beautiful. All that’s left to say is Kate’s breakfasts are to die for! Thank you all for a wonderful few days!

Response

Wow! Thank you Paul so much. Better get a bigger hat ! Lovely to meet you, hope to meet again sometime. Best wishes Kate

Myself and my dog!! We had a great time, Kate was really relaxed and made sure that my dog was o.k. when I was at the wedding. Great breakfast. It was really great and we were really looked after!!

Response

Thank you Roslyn. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Maisie and Rambo say hi to Gwyn.

So we picked Kate's Farm as it was a stones throw from our Niece's wedding venue.Kate was a wonderful hostess who made us feel totally at home.We had a family room but when she looked at our 18 year old, she offered him a spare room that she had at no extra charge which was awesome...(he didn't really want to share a room with his parents!) We also had our elderly Mother with us who Kate kept her eye on as she was a bit wobbly on her legs.Kate was totally relaxed with us coming and going.We loved the atmosphere in the cottage with the dogs pottering around and music playingEverything was clean and covid safe. Breakfast was totally delicious and nothing was too much trouble.We even had to smuggle a rather drunk 18 year old back after the wedding and again Kate was not fazed!Highly recommend this lovely B&B in beautiful rural Devon.

Response

Hi Emma, thank you so much for your lovely review. Great meeting you all. Hope you arrived home safely and someone is feeling much better ! Best wishes Kate

We had a lovely stay at Kate's.It's a beautiful old country farmhouse with parts of the house being over 400-years-old. The garden is lovely and it's right across the street from a beautiful nature reserve.Kate is a wonderful hostess and makes you feel very welcome and also makes the best breakfasts.

Response

Thank you Shelley for your lovely review. Greatly appreciated.Best wishes Kate

We had a great long weekend family break to the jurassic Coast. Kate's place is a wonderful 16th century building and oozes character that only a building century's old could have. Kate was a wonderful host and my kids loved playing with her 2 little dogs. This is a great space to unwind and be close enough to lyme regis (18 min drive) but far enough to get away. One tip, make sure you book your restaurants well in advance as places get booked up. However Kate was happy for us to bring back a takeaway and provided us with the cutlery.Highly recommended for family's and couples especially with the family room.

Kate at Kates farm was exceptional in every way. She went beyond the call of duty to accommodate us. On the evening of us staying there we got very lost trying to find our way back due to road closures. Kate came to meet us so we could follow her back to the farm. This was so kind of her. Breakfast was delicious and the place was immaculate. My boys loved playing with her 2 dogs too.

Comfortable and clean, lovely host, brilliant cooked breakfast. Thank you

Kate and her lovely dogs made us welcome on our arrival. The farmhouse is stunning, welcoming, lots of old world charm. Feels incredibly homely, our two dogs were welcomed and loved it.Kates attention to detail means everything was clean, comfortable and oozing with charming extras.Her cooked breakfast next morning was delicious and set us up for our onward journey to Cornwall. Kate’s a fantastic host. We will definitely stay again. Thank you Kate!

Response

Thank you so much for your lovely review. Glad all four of you enjoyed your stay.Best wishes Kate

We were looking for somewhere to stay close to Lyme Regis just for one night and Kate’s Farm fit the bill perfectly. Good communication, large comfy room and excellent breakfast. Kate was very welcoming, everything you could want from a traditional B&B.

Response

Thank you Lucy for the lovely review. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes Kate

Kate’s Farm offered us the perfect base for our mini trip away to go fossil hunting. Kate was a friendly and helpfulhost and the breakfasts were amazing! The kids loved the secret toy room, the dogs and Kate so much they wanted to stay an extra night! Would thoroughly recommend staying here!

Warm welcome, and immediate acceptance of my children by the very friendly dogs. Room was clean and comfortable. The house is charming. Bathroom was a glorious reminder of my 1980s childhood. We really enjoyed ourselves. Kate is a wonderful host.

We’ve just spent 2 days at Kate’s Farm with our 7 month old puppies. Having run this B &B for 22 years Kate knows what she’s doing!We felt very welcome, Kate lit the fire for us on a soggy afternoon, cooked delicious breakfasts and made our stay in her wonderfully atmospheric farmhouse an absolute delight.

We stayed with Kate and her furry companions Maisie and Rambo for 5 days this summer. Great room, comfy bed, super yummy breakfast and a big garden for the kids to run around in. It is a secluded place which is perfect for getting a good night's sleep. Thank you Kate for your hospitality and making such great breakfasts!

A lovely old farmhouse now run as a b&b with sensible and practical restrictions catering for these difficult times. Very dog friendly with a large garden where dogs are free to roam. Excellent home cooked breakfast. Kate is very welcoming and a mine of local knowledge regarding dog walks and outings to local places of interest.

What a lovely three night stay we had, Kate and her doggies were so welcoming. The children were made to feel really at home. The location is perfect as a base for exploring the near by villages/towns, Beer and Lyme Regis were our favourites. Kate’s breakfasts are perfect, so fresh and it’s lovely to know we’re eating local produce. Thanks Kate for an amazing stay!!!

One night stay in Comfortable accommodation. Good facilities. Room a bit small but adequateKate is very friendly and helpful. Good breakfast.

Had a great mini-break in the wonderful guesthouse.

Kate is a very welcoming host, even in these uncertain times. We had excellent service. Her breakfasts' were particularly good. We can definitely recommend a stay at Kate's Farmhouse B&B.

Kate was very welcoming as were her two little dogsRoom was perfect with access to the gardenLovely full English breakfast complete with the subtle sounds of jazz

This was our third visit to Kate's farm b&b.The accommodation is very comfortable and Kate is a great host.Our youngest loved having the dogs around!We will definitely return for another stay in the future - if Kate will have us!!!

My partner and I had a fantastic experience staying at Kates Farm. Room was spacious and well equipped, we had a separate bathroom down the corridor for us only which was great! The location was great as the farm is a short drive away to the coast and little villages!! Kate the host was really accommodating and attentive!! Would highly recommend staying here.

Kate's Lower Bruckland Farm B&B is simply excellent: the warmth of Kate's welcome, the extraordinary 15th century farmhouse, the lovable dogs, the comfortable beds, the peace of the countryside, the delicious breakfast.It's the best B&B we have ever found.Philip and Jenifer Milner

Kate,was a very pleasant host, nothing was too much trouble for her. Excellent breakfast and lovely view over the fields from my room.

We stayed in the family room with ensuite. The room was clean, and Kate was very welcoming. We had an enjoyable breakfast

Would like to thank Kate for making us all that included our dogs feel most welcome if only for the one night.

This is our second visit and a warm, friendly welcome you will always receive. We like the garden room because we take our dog with us and it opens directly onto garden. The room is small but it has everything you need. The full English breakfast is wonderful. Thank you Kate for making us and Tulip the toy poodle so welcome. See you again soon. Sylvia, Jim, Tulip

Response

Thank you so much Sylvia and Jim.Much appreciated. Hope to see you again in the not so distantfuture. Kate xx

We really enjoyed our visit. The farmhouse is full of character,in a great location for exploring the area. Kate is friendly and helpful. She and her dogs make this a relaxed, welcoming place to stay.

We had an amazing stay at Kate’s Farm. The house has a relaxing ambience and the breakfast was delicious. Kate was extremely accommodating to our big dog and our children. We all enjoyed having picnics in her beautiful garden. We’ll definitely go back! Thank you, Kate.

Fantastic place to stay, especially with our young family (6yr old, 9yr old and small dog) A great period property with amazing inglenook fireplace and comfy beds, very peaceful location but close enough to Lyme Regis, Charmouth and Seaton. Kate provided a very friendly and relaxed stay and the breakfasts were top notch. Refreshing that there is no minimum stay during the week, and dogs can stay too. We will be booking again.

Response

Thank you Ben and family for such a fantastic review. Much appreciated.Hope to see you all again someday. Best wishes, Kate.

Well situated near nature reserve. Short drive to Lyme Regis & Seaton. Dog friendly and a very friendly owner.A pleasure to stay there.

Kate could not have made us all (dogs, children and adults!) feel more welcome. A lovely relaxed place to stay and a delicious breakfast in the morning!

Response

Thank you Kirsten for your lovely review. It was brilliant meeting all of you.Really glad you enjoyed your stay. All best wishes, Kate.

Cannot recommend this B & B highly enough.As a family of 4, including a 16m and 5yr old, the family room could not have been more perfect.Very welcoming host, comfortable bed, luxury linen, clean en suite, warm and spacious -to top it all off a truly delicious breakfast menu that was cooked to perfection.A great treat and perfectly positioned for Jurassic coast excurtions.Thank you for sharing your lovely home and making us all so welcome, we hope to come back again soon!

Response

Thank you for your lovely review. It was a pleasure to look after all three of you. Would be most welcome anytime. Best wishes, Kate

This was a return visit to Kate’s Farm and it was just as lovely as last time. We were greeted by Kate and offered a hot drink and delicious biscuits in the sitting/breakfast room. Room was as lovely as ever and nice comfortable bed. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, porridge and blueberry and Yeo Valley yoghurt if wanted. My husband had a magnificent plate of the full English. Not to mention the fresh grapefruit, juice, tea/coffee and toast that we also had. Everything was dished up on time and perfectly cooked. There was a very comfortable feeling at breakfast, with everyone chatting and even Kate joined us after she had finished service. We shall be back, next time with the dog again..

Response

Thank you so much Kirsten for your lively comments. Hope to see you again in the future. Kate

Kate's Farm is absolutely ideal. Warm, inviting and comfortable. Perfect for our family of 5 and a dog!Kate provides outstanding hospitality, charming company and a cracking breakfast.Rooms are comfortably appointed - feels like home.Excellent all around.

We stayed at Kate's Farm with my husband, two young children, a little dog and my parents for my Dad's birthday and had a really lovely time. We had been before but it was a first for my parents and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The breakfasts were delicious and set us up whatever the weather threw at us and the evenings by the fire with Kate and other guests were warm, welcoming and fun. It's a great place to stay and we will, again, be back! Thanks Kate for your lovely hospitality.

Lovely friendly b and b.very comfortable and a fantastic breakfast cooked when we were ready. Nothing to much trouble. Highly recommend.

Beautifully located house, dog riendly, and friendly land lady. I enjoyed my short stay.

I was attending a one day build and bake at river cottage i arrived and met Kate who was wonderful had a warm welcome with coffee and biscuits she also gave me the map to go to river cottage which was very helpfulThe bedroom was imaculate and the sound of the cockril in the morning summed up my dayWill definately be back

a lovely bed and breakfast in a peaceful location, very welcoming and a short walk to the pub in Musbury. kate is a great host and we felt very welcome there with our dog too. We only stayed one night but hope to return and stay for longer.

I was made to feel welcome from my first contact.Nothing is too much of a problem and Kate will go the extra mile.She tried several taxi companies to drive me to a wedding and dinner, but to no avail.She then drove me to both venues so I didn't need to worry about driving.Nothing is too big or small and the extra hospitality made my weekend away perfect.Thank you Kate, I will hopefully bring my family next time for an amazing warm and friendly stay.

Kate's Farm was delightful - friendly, comfortable, clean, excellent breakfast, beautiful house and garden and very welcoming to my family and young dog. Thanks so much - we will be back.

We stayed at Kate's B&B as part of a weekend to River Cottage. Kate was very welcoming and the house was beautiful. Such a lovely location and quiet. Kate's breakfast was amazing. We would definitely stay again.

Most enjoyable stay, Katie the host was a very pleasant and made us fill very welcome, and would recommend couples and families to stay at this charming B&B.

Great place to stay. Farm building quaint. Friendly welcome with tea and a chat in the garden. Excellent breakfast to see you on your way.

What a fantastic place to stay! Lovely and clean, great service lovely food. So homely! Will definitely go back :-)

It was a lovely place to stay, Kate was welcoming, breakfast smashing, highly recommended by adults and children alike they found the fireside den a real treat.

From the moment me and my partner arrived with our dog, we felt welcomed.The staff, the breakfast and the room was an enjoyable experience

We travelled as a family (2 adults and a 1 year old baby). Kate was accommodating from the word go, sorting out a travel cot and mattress for our little one. A cup of tea on arrival and a good natter, all nice and welcoming. The room was a decent size even with the cot in it.The breakfasts were great every morning and Kate was happy to take requests, so we varied between full breakfasts and smaller breakfasts of just certain elements on other days.Kate was full of good recommendations for places we could visit on our 5 day stay and even played scrabble with us one evening as we had to be in every night with our little one!One slight word of caution - Kate has three dogs, all of which were very nice and well behaved, and great around our little one, but if your really don't like dogs then maybe this isn't your place!Overall, very impressed and would definitely return!Thanks Kate!

Stayed here 2 nights to attend a River Cottage event.We were greeted with a most welcome cup of tea on our arrival.We had been upgraded to a different room for no extra cost and this was clean and spacious.Breakfast on both days was timed to suit us and was delicious. Beautiful setting amongst horses, dogs and chickens.Kate went out of her way to ensure our stay was great even taking us to river cottage and collecting us at the end of the evening when our pre-booked taxi failed to arrive. We would definitely stay here again if/when we return.

What a find! My husband and I + small dog have just spent a night at Kate's. Such a lovely house and a very kind and welcoming host. We were in The Garden Room and were as comfortable as could be. Excellent breakfast and our dog loved the garden and helping Kate and her dogs feed the chickens!

I recently spent 2 nights at Kate's Farm as I was going to a friend's wedding at River Cottage HQ. The location was perfect, the room was ideal, the breakfast was amazing and Kate, the host, was extremely friendly, helpful and kind. I would not hesitate to recommend it to my friends!

Back for a second year. Adults, Children and dog all thoroughly spoilt - lovely farm house where we were all made to feel at home, lovely open fire and Kate's full English Breakfast is fantastic - Kids already looking to book for next year

Have stayed at Kate's farm for a weekend each year for the past 5. Some use it as a base for foodie feasts at River Cottage. We come down for the annual cross country Grizzly. Warm welcome. Huge fire. Great breakfasts.

A great place to stay -friendly host, delicious breakfast, great collection of ceramics and a beautiful setting.

Great room, fantastic hospitality, gorgeous breakfast. 10/10

Had a lovely stay at Kate's.The farmhouse is set in the countryside and is so peaceful - we all said that we'd never slept so well.Kate was very welcoming and made us tea & biscuits when we arrived.We stayed in small family room which was spotlessly clean & tidy with the bathroom just across the corridor.We packed a lot in to our short stay and Kate's farmhouse is an ideal location to reach many of the seaside resorts.We made use of the local pub for a couple of evening meals which were very tasty.Kate catered to our requirements for breakfast, which was delicious and set us up for the day.My wife and son fell in love with Fern, Maisie & Mr Bob and we would definitely stay again when down that way.Thanks Kate x

An excellent very friendly B&B, in a lovely quiet location, but not isolated and easy to get onto the main roads at Axminster. Good location for visitors to River Cottage HQ, or the Canteen Deli.

Kate welcomed us with tea in the garden when we arrived. The farm is in lovely environments. The cooked breakfast was the best we had on our two week long trip. Recommended!

Nothing to complain, - and, the best "English Breakfast" from 5 stops we had.Thank you Kate and best whishes from Germany.

Stayed one night. Very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Kate was a marvelous host. Excellent breakfast. Great location for local exploration and visiting River Cottage. Good local pubs.

Kates farm is a beautiful old property and very comfortable and cosy. Kate makes you feel welcome and cooks a fine breakfast.The open fire is spectacular!The location is very peaceful and quiet.All in our group can higly recommend this B&B

Lovely setting, really interesting old farmhouse, hearty breakfast and a friendly host who amongst other things provided directions to River Cottage!

We only stayed for one night but wish we had longer, lovely house with comfortable well equipped room, well cooked quality breakfast. Would highly recommend.Thanks Kate

We had a lovely stay at Kate's B&B, comfortable room, great breakfast and Kate even picked us up from the wedding venue after the reception as the taxi's were all booked.

Kate greeted us on arrival with our 6 month puppy Saffy.We were all made extremely welcome from the beginning, offered tea and a walk with Kate and her dogs.Kate even "baby sat" Saffy whilst we were at River Cottage.Kate's breakfast was delicious and the whole experience was relaxing and warm.

A very comfortable and relaxed stay, service excellent, food excellent have already reccomended to freands and relatives lovely setting very quiet, dog loved it and will be looking at staying again later in year if possible, all in all can not think of the right words to adequately describe stay it was exactly what we were looking for. Thank you very much Lynnette,Alan and Max

Very friendly welcome, and very helpful (our clothes were soaking wet, Kate kindly offered to put them in her dryer).The location is very close to Lyme Regis, which was really perfect. It is extremely peaceful and quiet though, being located away from the main road.The breakfast was delicious. Will gladly stop there again.

We had a fantastic one night stay in a lovely tranquil location. Perfect for our 3 young children. Kate was extremely hospitable to us all. The children loved the egg collecting and dog walking. We will definitely be back with our dog.

We have just returned from a lovely coule if days at Kate's B&B. The children enjoyed feeding the chickens and we were even able to take our 14 week puppy with us. Recommend Kate's for a lovely short break.

Kate couldn't have made us more welcome at her beautiful farmhouse. Our 3 children loved the secret toy den, our dog enjoyed romping round the garden and we relished relaxing by the roaring fire in the evening after a good walk. Excellent for River Cottage and Lyme Regis visits.

Fantastic. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Very comfortable room and a warm welcome from Kate. Breakfast was delicious. Would return.

Myself and two friends stayed at Kate's and loved it there, we were made very welcome and given the run of the comfy guest lounge to have some drinks sheltering from the rain in front of a roaring fire.The bedrooms and bathroom were also beautifully clean.To top it all off we had an amazing breakfast which was the meal highlight of the whole trip!Recommended indeed.

welcoming bed and breakfast, Kate made us very welcome and the breakfast was lovelyOnly booked for one night would would happily have stayed longer Thank you Kate

Kate is a very pleasant person, friendly and outgoing . The house is very old and thus quirky but we liked it. lovely guest sitting room and a very good place for dogs which are greatly welcomed. In all a very pleasant place to stay, and not a half bad breakfast either.

Kate did everything to make us feel at home-she really went the extra mile to ensure that we had a great time. The accommodation was spacious, quiet andspotless and her breakfasts were superb. We give it 5 stars, and our dog, Betty, gives it 5 bones as well!

We had a fantastic overnight stay with Kate. Kate made me and my partner very welcome along with our little dog. Without Kate looking after our dog for the evening(even took her for a walk) we would never have been able to dine at River Cottage. The breakfast was fantastic ( better than the previous week when we had dined at a michelin starred restaurant in the north of England). Very clean, comfortable room. Very relaxing experience, highly recommend a stay here

Kate's Farm is in glorious country 15 minutes' drive from the fine beach at Seaton. The accommodation is traditional farm house at its best; Kate is kindness itself and provides a fantastic breakfast. Many thanks, Kate!

Lovely, comfortable and welcoming accommodation. The needs of children and adults alike while spending a night away were thought about and met. Delicious breakfast too!

Our host was very welcoming as we arrived at this beautiful old farmhouse cottage. I absolutely loved the big open fireplace. Rooms were cosy and clean..first night was spent at local pub for (good) food and beverages .. second night was spent at a wedding party so as you can imagine it was a heavy weekend.. I would gladly recommend Kate's bed and breakfast even though I didn't try the breakfast due to alcohol poisoning :-) thanks again for great lodgings Kate

We were made very welcome on arrival and the room was very clean and tidy. The breakfast was excellent and Kate showed us around the area which is a delight to see.If we were to be in the area again we will gladly book again. Thanks Kate :)

My daughter and I stayed at Kate`s for 2 nights when we were in the area visiting River Cottage. The rooms were lovely and clean and fresh, and Kate`s welcome second to none. Breakfast was a sight to behold! We will be back again with our husbands and the dog

We chose Kate's Farm, as we were looking for a dog-friendly B&B, where we could relax with our dog, rather than being on edge, as with some establishments. The 'Garden Room' is perfect, with easy access to the outdoors - and Kate's friendly, relaxed style meant that we had the perfect break, with sunshine as an added bonus!Kettle, hair dryer, flowers: those details were much appreciated - and breakfast was great, too.

How lovely to be offered a cup of tea on arrival and to sit out in the garden to enjoy it. Lovely big room, very clean and comfortable and the breakfast was very tasty with good locsl produce.

Very welcoming, very dog-friendly, comfortable room, good breakfast, easy off-road parking, very quiet location.

Had a very nice stay,Kate was lovely and couldn't have been more helpful.Great setting, within easy reach of Lyme Regis and Charmouth.+++

Great Hospitality. We enjoyed the neat room, nice breakfast, and rural environment. Kids enjoyed company with the dogs.

I highly recommend Kate's Farm as a place to stay. The area is quiet, & my room was clean & tidy. Kate was a great host, friendly & helped me out with anything I needed!!

Kates farm is a warm welcome farm. Children love it animal friendly. 5 miles from lym Regisideal location for relaxing this is our 2 time there. Wonderfuljeyson.susanHampshire

After a long drive it was lovely to be greeted with warm reception. KateÅ› Farm is an idyllic farm stay near Axminister, Devon. With an open fire and walks nearby, it was the perfect stay. And for anyone visiting River Cottage, its only a stone throws away.

An enjoyable stay at Kate's farm. Warm welcome, from Kate and her little doggies.Very nice accommodation wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.Access to farm was through very narrow roads but all in all a wonderful stay.

Really enjoyed our stay. Kate couldn't be more helpful- particularly when our car got stuck down an impassable road!!Many thanks. Very dog friendly too.Would recommend++

The farm, gardens and surrounds are fantastic. The hospitatlity and cooking equally so. We had a wonderful relaxed stay and are very appreciative of the help with directions, meal requests and generosity of spirit from Kate. We'd happily return and stay again.

We could sum it up in one word - terrific! Kate and her gorgeous dogs are lovely and welcoming. Room cleanliness and attention to detail was perfect. Plenty of choice for breakfast, and everything was delicious.Will certainly book again. Thank you very much.

A wonderful warm welcome from Kate,.b and b in lovely location,Room very spacious and clean.Breakfast lovely cooked to order with fresh eggs from coop in garden.Kate even arranged taxi to River Cottage HQ.

What a pleasure to stay at Kate's B & B. My welcome was friendly and welcoming with lovely tea and shortbread to sit and relax with after a long 4 hour drive. The room was clean, tidy with a lovely view of the surrounding countryside and very quiet. Kate was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. Her dogs were great, friendly and no problem. This B & B is definately a jewel to be tried all at reasonable cost. I would recommend Kate's B & B to my friends and family.

Lovely farm house, warm welcome, amazing fire, and comfortable room.No en-suite which I didn't know when booking directly on line. Also had to pre-order breakfast which was not ideal but the breakfast was lovely anyway.

Host was very welcoming after a busy day. Went the extra mile to make me feel welcome and very accommodating , would stay again if in the area.

Excellent hospitality provided and beautiful settings of roaring open fire within the cottage to add to the authentic fill of a english rose cottage.Furthermore, great access to Lyme Regis for an experience of fine foods and the jurassic coastline.

A typical Bed & Breakfast set in the Devon Countryside. A warm welcome by Kate herself and a friendly atmosphere throughout our stay.We would stay there again.

Comfortable and very welcoming both to us and our dog.A great base to explore east Devon and for my wife to attend a River cottage cookery course. Big breakfasts and an open fire for our dog to lie in front of. We will visit again.

Kate's Farm B&B is divine. A quiet and quaint farmhouse setting close to the local amenities makes for a perfect place to come back to at the end of a long day. Kate herself is a brilliant host, and with a trio of loveable dogs to play with, you truly will not want to leave. A perfect weekend away.

My wife, our dog and I stayed at Kate's recently and were really impressed with the whole experience.The farm is beautiful, tastefully decorated with lots of artistic features and quirky artefacts mixed in with the characterful old building.Kate and Ed were there to greet us and within minutes we felt welcomed and at home - unlike some B+B's where you feel like you are intruding in someone's house and have to tip-toe around the place.We had the garden room which meant that our dog could stay in the room with us and had access to the garden if needed during the night without risking waking up others in the house.We had certainly not expected to be invited for a drink in the huge lounge/dining room with the biggest walk-in fireplace ever seen!Following a master class in scrabble, meeting and chatting with other guests until the early hours, we slept well in a very comfortable bed, refreshed and ready for an excellent breakfast, (wonderfully fresh eggs) and a mini-tour around the farm to see the old cider press and lovely old outbuildings.It's all very bucolic and visitors from overseas will get a really good impression of what farms used to look life before automation and factory farming took over.We would certainly recommend it to any visitors in the area and in terms of value for money would be hard to beat.
