Fowlescombe Farm

Luxury rural hotel on a regenerative farm in Devon

Fowlescombe Farm is a luxury rural retreat located in Ugborough, in Devon, a short distance from Dartmoor National Park. The property presents itself as a quiet and restorative retreat of just ten suites, set within a 450-acre regenerative farm whose activity shapes every aspect of the stay.

The offering combines design-led accommodation and highly personalised service. The site highlights that the farm influences every element of the experience, from dining to activities, and that the aim is for guests to reconnect with the land, the seasons and themselves.

Ten suites in former stone barns and a Victorian house

The hotel distributes its ten suites between restored former stone barns and the original Victorian farmhouse. Each accommodation is described as carefully designed, with local materials and a sense of belonging to the place.

All stays are full board and include long breakfasts, 3pm cake in the Farmhouse, dinners that stretch into the evening and a full calendar of activities on the farm. The property notes that children and pets are also welcome.

Seasonal, locally sourced cuisine at The Refectory

Dining is centred around The Refectory, where the daily menu is dictated by the land and the produce from the estate's fields, woodlands and gardens. Executive Chef Elly Wentworth and her team work in step with the farm and garden teams to deliver a true farm-to-fork experience.

The site invites guests to take part in that process: gathering eggs from the coop at first light for breakfast, learning at dinner what regenerative farming means for the taste of the meat, or handpicking botanicals for the evening gin. The offering is based on connection and seasonality.

Experiences tied to the rhythm of the farm and the Devon coast

The experiences on offer aim to immerse guests in the rhythm of the farm and the natural surroundings of Devon. The site mentions the coast path, Dartmoor National Park and the area's beaches, located just beyond the estate gate.

The description of late summer on the farm refers to lambs grown but still curious, tomatoes finally heavy on the vine and gardens holding onto their colour. The stay is presented as a formula that does not force a choice between the restorative and the exceptional.

Accolades and editorial coverage

The property states that it has appeared in Condé Nast Traveller, The Times and National Geographic Traveller's '30 Best Hotels in the World' selection. Dinner is also described as Michelin-listed.

Stays, packages and exclusive use

The site organises its offering around stays, packages, Christmas, exclusive use and gifts, as well as the option to reserve a table at The Refectory and to hold events. The estate also has a mailing list for those who wish to follow news from the farm.
