Where we are

Rural mid-Devon .. edge of Dartmoor ..  Good dual carriageway east to Exeter [M5] & west to Cornwall .. nearby the A386 travels north to Barnstaple or Westward Ho! .. south it skirts Dartmoor, on its way through Tavistock to Plymouth.

Beer Farm is located some 3 miles east of Okehampton, ¾ mile north of the Dartmoor National Park conveniently in the middle of Devon.  A 30-mile radius from Beer Farm encompasses Dartmoor and coastlines to the south, north, west & east, in so doing reaching Bodmin Moor and Exmoor and the cities of Exeter and Plymouth.

The farm is just outside the National Park and only 1¼ miles from junctions with the excellent dual carriageway [A30], which links with the south west (Exeter) end of the M5 - at junction 31 - some 22 miles to our east.

The A386 is the far side of Okehampton, linking with North Devon - Barnstaple, Ilfracombe, Bude, Westward Ho! - or south through Tavistock (Stannary Town) & Yelverton to the city of Plymouth.  Good other roads [A3079/3072] can take you to the north Cornish coast near Bude.  Numerous minor roads can be enjoyed when exploring the area.

LOCAL DIRECTIONS: take the Okehampton [Belstone] exit from the A30 dual carriageway, travel past the B.P. (Whitehouse) Services - petrol station, shop & restaurant - for 250 yards then turn left (at Tongue End X).  Travel uphill towards signed to Sampford Courtenay and you cross above the dual-carriageway.  Bear right at brow of hill (Crossways X) travel downhill for 400 yards & turn next right (Beer X) towards Taw Green (signed).  After 800 yards Beer Farm is shown on the left (large farm sign).

Exeter has the main area Accident and Emergency Department at the Royal Devon & Exeter (Wonford), Barrack Road, Exeter; east of the city centre & cathedral.

Horseowners - ride on Dartmoor

Bring your horse on holiday - enjoy riding somewhere different

Some visitors wishing to stay in our cottages may feel their horses or ponies deserve an equine holiday too, with a change of view and fresh air.  We have built two self-catering stables - to measurements recommended by the British Horse Society (BHS) - near the cottages, within a large well-ventilated modern barn, allowing grooming and tacking-up under cover.

Access to the moorland tracks of Dartmoor National Park is barely a mile away near Tongue End Cross, or through Sticklepath, to take you on to join the open moor near Belstone.

Accessibility and Mobility Level 2 - Acorn Cottage - four star - also meets National Accessible Standards (NAS) Mobility Level 2.  See separate section on this Website on Acorn Cottage.

Acorn Cottage – two bedrooms - is tiled throughout the ground floor & has a large (heated) porch.  It also has direct access to the farm lane, without the need to pass through the shared garden area.  It is the nearest to the stables and horsebox or horse trailer parking.

Animal feed & bedding  – let us know in advance if you wish us to buy in hay, straw or wood-shavings for you.  Small bales may be stored on the roof of the stables.

Bedding: will be required, as the stable floor is smooth concrete.

Bicycles can be kept in an undercover area but consider bringing your own chain & padlock.

Buckets - feed and water buckets are available.

Car Parking - there are ample car parking areas but advise us of any parking requirements when you book.

Costs: ask for our Tariff sheet & discuss your equine accommodation requirements with us.

DIY Livery - two stables, undercover tacking & grooming area and nearby pasture.  Guests are expected to leave everything clean and tidy before they leave.

Electrical Power: a mains 13 amp socket with RCD is available within the grooming/tacking barn.

Equine members of the family deserve a holiday too.

Feed -  We will need to know in advance if you need us to obtain locally any bedding or hay.

Fire - All cottages have fire detecting equipment, a fire extinguisher & a fire blanket.  An extinguisher is in the Laundry & in the Games Room.  We ask that no one smoke in bedrooms or near barns/stables.

Grooming - Bring your own kit and use it under cover in the grooming/tacking area.

Groups or large families - See the separate section on renting more than one cottage.

Hack across Dartmoor from this comfortable, well-equipped accommodation. Riding on the moor will be a memorable experience.

Hay racks - A corner rack is fixed in the stable.

Interconnecting cottages - Acorn (2 bedroom) has a door from a half-landing to the ground floor corridor of Oak Cottage (large 3 bedroom).  When families or an equestrian group request, the door can be unlocked.  Similar un-lockable internal doors exist between Apple & Pear Cottages.

Laundry with WC adjoins the Games Room.  As well as a good Miele clothes washing machine & tumble drier [please not for horse blankets] it has a sink & drainer, spare iron & ironing board. A WC & hot water hand washing facilities and an electric hot air hand drier minimise the need to re-enter any cottage. The Laundry & WC floors are tiled.

Lighting: fluorescent tubes are in each stable and above the grooming area.  Each cottage has an outside light triggered by movement when it is dark.  Also see Security.

Mains Water - and usually rain water too - is available from taps and hoses outside the main grooming/tacking barn.  Animal drinking water within the stables is provided by large buckets surrounded by a car tyre.  Most field areas have a mains-water trough.

Mucking out & cleaning up – We do expect the stables, indoor & outdoor yards to be as clean & tidy when you leave as when you arrived.  Others may be arriving soon after you.

Parking for a horse trailer &/or horse box, is available by prior arrangement.

Riding on Dartmoor - will be an exhilarating, fresh-air experience.

Terms, Conditions & More Info

do read before booking

Arrival & Departure times - we aim to have the cottages ready for you by 3.00 p.m. and guests should vacate their clean & tidy cottage by 10.00 a.m. on day of departure, to give us time to prepare for new guests, unless the proprietors have agreed in writing to any different times.
Guests will please let us know what time they expect to arrive, especially if not likely to be between 3 p.m. & 5 p.m. At the end of your stay, if you are planning to leave before 9 a.m. on the final morning, please tell us the day before. Check all your belongings are taken with you; see Packaging & Postage.

Bookings/Payment - we will usually allow 5 days from a verbal, faxed or e-mailed booking, to give you time to get a completed Booking Form and appropriate cheque/payment (in pounds sterling) to us. We acknowledge receipt of all booking forms + cheques. Our Tariff sheet - posted or e-mailed to you - states Deposit & Rents. We reserve the right to decline any booking.
For Late Booking - i.e. generally those made within six weeks of the start of the letting - and/or when Payment is from outside the UK, arrangements can be made for payment by Credit/Debit Cards (of the common international types, e.g. Mastercard, Visa). The extra costs involved for any type of card will be charged to the customer. If the initial payment is by Card, we reserve the right to debit thereto any amounts as and when due to us.
The Damage Deposit and full rental + extras payment should have reached us 8 weeks* before the letting starts(*sooner - usually 12 weeks - for multiple cottage bookings & for Christmas or New Year). We reserve the right to treat late payment as a cancellation; reminders are not sent.

Cancellation - reservations whether verbal/faxed/e-mail are all legally binding, as is a completed booking form. Should you have to cancel, please contact us promptly to give us as much time as possible to re-let, hence minimising loss. Any Booking Deposit(s) paid will not be refundable. If the cancellation is within 8 weeks of the start of the letting you are liable for the full rental, unless we are able to re-let the cottage(s) at the same price for that period. We think it prudent for guests to arrange Holiday Insurance.

Candles, oil/gas lamps & Fireworks -are not permitted in the cottages, gardens or indeed anywhere on the farm. This is after due consideration of the possible risks to safety of people, animals, fabrics, furniture, stored combustibles, vehicles, thatched (and other) buildings. We suggest you bring a torch; one is provided in each cottage for emergencies.

Central Heating - hot water is provided from a centralised boiler & the cost is included in the rental figures. Please let us know when booking if you require central heating, so it can be on prior to your arrival. For costs of central heating see the Tariff sheet we send out. Should oil prices increase, we reserve the right to increase the Central Heating charge from that shown on our Tariff sheet. If you require central heating and hot water on for longer than the usual few hours in the morning and throughout the evening - i.e. circa 8 hours per day - please discuss at time of booking as an extra charge will be payable.

Changes to any booking - as to date, cottage(s) required - will incur a £25 administrative charge but may count as a Cancellation if that cottage/date cannot be re-let at the same price; see above.

Cleaning, etc. - guests should leave the cottages clean and tidy, as on arrival. We reserve the right to make a realistic charge for any exceptional cleaning and for any damage/loss.
Any furniture, furnishings, equipment, china, glassware, cutlery, barbecue, etc. should be left/replaced in the position/ cupboard as they were on arrival; in as good and clean condition as on arrival.
Guests are asked to ensure communal areas - e.g. games room, laundry, terraces, barbecue & dustbin areas, stabling, etc. - are also cared for and left clean and tidy, as found on arrival.

Damage Deposit, Breakages & Behaviour - before occupation we require a separate 'damage' cheque (or cash) for each week/cottage - see latest Tariff Sheet - to be held towards any electricity costs, losses, breakages, damage, excluding normal wear & tear. We ask to be advised promptly of any damage so rectification/replacement can be arranged. Guests - and the children/animals in their care - should remain considerate of all other persons, animals & property. Also see the above paragraph Cleaning, etc.
Refunds of Damage Deposit after the stay will not usually be made until after a check of the cottage/inventory has been made; if as usual all is fine, then any un-banked deposit cheque will be destroyed. Less commonly, where a cheque to cover was banked or cash paid, a refund cheque [in UK sterling] will posted to the person named on the Booking Form within 7 days of the end of the stay.

Directions - are on this www.beerfarm.co.uk website and in our brochure. OS Map shows 'Beer' at reference: SX 633 958 Care! -If locating using Satnav or Multimap the postcode may highlight the previous farm (Reddaway Farm); we are a few hundred yards east.

Discounts - which are not accumulative - of 5% of the cottage rent, may be available for guests booking a full week or longer if they have rented one of our cottages in the previous 24 months. Also a family/group booking more than one cottage contemporaneously may benefit from a 5% discount on the rent of the cheapest cottage they book.

Dogs, Horses & Ponies - only those animals detailed on a Booking Form we have received and accepted are allowed. Any fouling in gardens, drives, parking areas, etc. should be cleaned up promptly and efficiently. Guests' animals should be kept under control at all times and well away from livestock. Pet dogs should not be allowed on furniture or in bedrooms.
DOGS ARE NOT TO BE LEFT IN ANY COTTAGE, garden, field, or communal room without continual adult supervision. For the charges for accommodating dogs, horses & ponies, see the Tariff sheet we mail you. No other pets are accepted. Livestock will be found in fields and on Dartmoor so dog leads are often a must.

For the charges for accommodating dogs, horses & ponies, see the Tariff sheet we mail you.

Particularly when not in occupation, guests should ensure all windows and doors are suitable locked. Roof lights (Velux windows: have vents and are lockable a little ajar) in any cottages and/or the Games Room should be appropriately positioned to avoid problems from wind or rain, e.g. wet beds.

If the guest wants the item sent other than by ordinary letter/parcel post, e.g. Registered or other Sign For, then they should so request and will accept the extra cost(s). Unclaimed/uncollected items will be disposed of after 3 months.

Rights of entry to premises - the proprietors reserve the right to enter any property at a reasonable hour, with or without trades-people, for inspection purposes and/or to repair any item or part of the premises, or enter at any time in an emergency.

Subsequently a pro rata partial refund of rent may be made provided full payment is made for any damage/extra cleaning/other monies due.

Unavailability of accommodation - in the very unlikely event that your cottage is not available for occupation - e.g. storm, fire, vandalism, etc. - we will give a full refund, or make efforts to find you alternative accommodation. This is the limit of the liability we accept.

VAT (Value Added Tax) - all prices include VAT at the appropriate rate. Prices may change after booking if the VAT regulations/rates change.

Waste & Recycling - alongside the car ports there are specific bins or boxes for glass bottles & jars (topless); newspaper & cardboard; drink & food cans (empty & rinsed), log fire and BBQ ash (when cold), as well as an individual designated bin for the non-recyclable waste.
