Crablake Farmhouse is a beautiful detached farmhouse on the outskirts of Exminster, Devon, surrounded by 300 acres of farmland.
This exquisite house, located on Crablake Farm, winner of the 2022 Farm Diversification Award, features antique furnishings, formal living areas, ground-floor living, and expansive gardens for large group or family gatherings of up to 12 guests; it's also pet-friendly, so bring your pup along for the adventure!

Grab a bottle from the wine cooler and make your way to the formal dining room, which has a huge table for 12 people and a bay window that frames the countryside for a magnificent backdrop.
The large sitting room, just next door, has soft sofas, armchairs, and fine furnishings in which to relax while enjoying the warmth of the crackling wood burning stove.
Use the utility with a washer, dryer, and space to hang your walking gear and wetsuits after a day at the beach or exploring Dartmoor.
A double bedroom with en-suite shower room completes the ground level, excellent for individuals with limited mobility, while five other bedrooms await upstairs, each attractively equipped for a unique staycation overlooking the farmland.
Three of the bedrooms are super king-size, there is also a zip/link super king-size bedroom for flexibility, and a twin; they are all serviced by two beautiful bathrooms, one with a roll-top bath and the other with a walk-in shower and double basin.
