Ford Down Farm is a south facing B& B based just 5 minutes drive from the historic market town of South Molton, with resident horses, sheep, hens, bantams, dog and cats. The accommodation offers three beautifully fitted bedrooms; the Master Bedroom, Twin Room and Double room. Each have their own private bathrooms fitted to the highest standard. All rooms have views on to open countryside. Peaceful private garden to sit and relax in. Excellent links to A377 and A361. Ample parking.

The estuary town of Barnstaple a further 10 miles away and to the south, the Cathedral city of Exeter provides varied shopping, leisure and visitor opportunities. There is local hacking on the bridleways on Exmoor and we can recommend local stables for you to enjoy the open countryside.

The South West Coastal Path and the Tarka Trail are within easy reach. Cyclists can join The West Country Way National Cycle Route, The Tarka Trail and The Devon Coast to Coast routes. Nearby South Molton is an historic Georgian town with a thriving, twice weekly traditional country pannier market. There are a selection of independent shops, cafes and tearooms and we would recommend a visit. South Molton also has a swimming pool and the Quince Honey Farm is a great attraction The fishing villages of Appledore, Instow and Clovelly are within easy reach.
