Fowlescombe Farm Hotel Review | Hotels Above Par

"Set on a 450-acre regenerative farm in the South Hams, this feels less like a hotel and more like a handful of suites spread between a Victorian farmhouse and renovated barns, opened to guests after Caitlin Owens’ family took over in 2018 and she and her partner, Swiss-raised Paul Glade, retreated here during lockdown. Glade, working with Basel and London design studios, brings a restrained, pale-oak minimalism—flagstone floors and bespoke Bristol-made joinery—softened by woven tapestries, huge sheepskin pouffs, sink-into armchairs, and local art. Rooms feel like a sleek home-from-home stocked with Devon fudge, flame-roasted nuts, English sparkling wine, Salcombe pilsner, and, in larger suites, well-equipped kitchens. Outside is improbably idyllic: apple trees heavy with fruit, wildflower meadows, butterflies, and vegetable patches landscaped to attract pollinators and to feed the place, with chefs plucking herbs and ferrying produce to the on-site restaurant. Service is quietly exceptional—staff know you by name, welcome you with loose-leaf tea in the communal sitting room, and include a 20-minute pickup from Totnes station after a scenic coastline-hugging ride from London Paddington. A stay folds in three meals a day and a rolling roster of wholesome activities: yoga in the greenhouse, egg-collecting for your Florentine or full English, damson picking, sea swims at nearby Mothecombe Beach, Salcombe day trips, and daily cake at teatime; despite its grown-up feel, kids and dogs are genuinely welcomed without disturbing those visiting a deux. If there’s a gap, it’s the wellness side—for now—though a large natural swimming pond and sauna are slated for March 2026 alongside forest bathing, Dartmoor trail running, and mindful pursuits like flower pressing (and I’m hoping for an old-fashioned massage or facial, too). With just 10 suites and starting rates around 550 USD per night, it’s an improbably idyllic Devon retreat powered by true farm-to-fork living." - Jessica Burrell

Recently visited Fowlescombe farm, we stayed in the loft suite, and it was utter perfection. The room was beautiful, and the bathroom was just as good (the shower was amazing!). The communal areas were extremely serene and clean. We felt comfortable wherever we decided to rest. The food was brilliant, and the wine list extensive. The staff were extremely attentive and discreet, we always felt cared for, never observed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, have already recommended to family and friends, and definitely will be coming back!!

Our stay at Fowlescombe Farm was a lovely experience. Location was peaceful, off the beaten track with some good walks directly from the farm. Our room was spacious, extremely clean with a very comfortable bed. |We went during a very warm spell so were able to eat all our meals outside. My partner enjoyed the experience of sharing a table with other guests, me less so, although the staff are happy to set up a table elsewhere if that's preferred. The food was very good, a lot came directly from the garden and as much as possible sourced locally. |All the staff were friendly and helpful and we would definitely recommend. We are thinking about whether we can slip in another stay before the end of the year.

What an incredible place. I stayed for 2 nights and it was amazing! The location is spectacular - so peaceful and surrounded by the most beautiful countryside. My room was in one of the old stone barns they converted and it was really special. Everything was comfortable and it was as if you could feel the history in these old buildings. The food was just amazing! Every meal was made with localy sourced ingredients and it was like you could taste the difference when everything is so fresh. I loved watching the chefs work as they prepared the amazing food. One of the best parts was the walk around the farm. I went past the ruins of the old kennels which have so much history. It was fascinating to hear the stories and just beautiful to walk through. The whole experience felt authentic - like they really care about the land, the people and the food. The staff were friendly and helpful without being too much. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get away from everything and I would love to come back!

FF – An Exceptional Holiday Destination We spent three days in this calm, beautiful, and very comfortable place. The architecture thoughtfully incorporates original elements of traditional farmhouses, elevated in a creative and modern way. The interiors and suites are luxury and minimalistic, and ensure complete privacy—it felt like being in a cozy cocoon. A lovely bouquet of roses awaited us on the table, making us feel genuinely welcome. The beautifully designed garden surrounding the houses offers many inviting “refuges” where you can sit and read, enjoy a coffee or drink—all brought to you by the attentive and hospitable staff. You can be alone without feeling isolated. A wide variety of fruits and vegetables grow in the garden and are used in the kitchen, where the food is delicious from breakfast to dinner. For those who don’t venture out into the calm, serene nature for a walk, there’s always something interesting on offer. We enjoyed a fascinating guided tour of the farm. The entire concept of FF is centered on caring for nature and animals while generously serving their guests. The purity and luxury of this place can be felt everywhere. FF truly lives up to its promises, and we wholeheartedly recommend it.

I spend a relaxing three nights at Fowlescombe Farm. The suites are super comfortable and beautifully designed with organic materials and there are many common areas to read a book and even get some work done. The nature is absolutely breathtaking, with endless green fields and so many cute animals, that are all very well cared for. I also loved the food, produced with local ingredients from the farm. The menu changes every night and was always excellent. There is also a good selection of homemade snacks available in between meals.

Hugely enjoyed my stay at Fowlescombe - absolutely stunning location, glorious rooms, and impeccable service. Dinner was delicious, in the cosy refectory, and I can’t wait to return and see how the gardens develop. I learnt so much from talking to Shelley, the head gardener, about her vision for the site. Cocktails in the greenhouse before dinner capped an all-round perfect stay. Absolute highlight was the amazing bath in my room, and the room itself really took my breath away - such a beautiful space. I felt truly comfortable there, and would return in a heartbeat

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful new hotel nestled in the Devon countryside. Everything was superb, from the staff who knew you by name, to the delicious food produced from the farm. The rooms have been beautifully crafted with luxury fittings and it's clear how much thought and care has gone into every aspect. We also really enjoyed getting to see the lambs and collecting eggs from the hens for breakfast the next morning! Nothing is too much trouble. Fowlescombe Farm was a complete oasis of calm with views of the rolling hills and surrounding farmland. We even saw an owl whilst sitting on the deck space outside our room! Highly recommend and would love to come back!

We had a wonderful stay at Fowlescombe Farm. The room was luxuriously comfortable, and the setting is beautiful and peaceful - a real retreat into the Devon countryside! The team were so accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. The food served in the Refectory was delicious, seasonal and fresh from the vegetable garden and curated beautifully. I personally loved the Map Room for planning a great walk up on Dartmoor! Can’t wait to return.
