Terms & Conditions

Before booking

We think Meadow Barn Farm is suitable for most people. But please read the below just to make sure it is for you:

Meadow Barn is...

A peaceful placed in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (A.O.N.B). It is a rustic, off-grid smallholding with resident children, chickens, sheep, pigs, and dogs. It is an environmentally friendly place; the loos are waterless, electricity is minimal and we run where we can off rechargeable batteries and solar power. Most importantly Meadow Barn Farm is a place where you can spend much needed down time with your family and friends and create memories for a lifetime.

Meadow Barn is not...

A party place, a techy place, a noisy place. It has free range animals that poo at will.
