Wifi is available throughout most of the house but can be patchy due to the rural location. There is also phone signal but again, due to the house location this can be patchy. We recommend logging onto the wifi and enabling wifi calling on your phone.

Access & Safety
Take care
Please note the building is very old so some of the doorways are low and the floors are uneven. The farmhouse also has stone flooring in the downstairs rooms and a stone staircase so please take care in these areas, especially with small children.
Off Grid Utilities
The property is off grid; electricity is powered by a generator and heating by oil.
The main living spaces are equipped with an open fire place and a wood burner. Guests are welcome to light both during their stay and wood is provided.
The River Exe
The River Exe flows past the end of the garden. We recommend accessing the river from the other side of the bridge. Please also watch children and dogs closely when near or in the river as at certain times of year it can be fast flowing.
Working Farm
Lyncombe Farm is currently tenanted and as a working farm, the yard, surrounding buildings and fields are in constant use.
Public Footpaths
& Bridleways
Public footpaths and bridleways run through the farmyard so we advise shutting the doors on that side of the house if you don't want any curious walkers or dogs coming in! Please ensure all dogs are controlled and supervised when in the farmyard.
Countryside
Code
Please follow the Countryside Code while staying in the farmhouse and enjoying the surrounding areas. More info.
Access & Parking
Access to the farmhouse is by farm track which can be uneven and stoney in places so please take care. NB The track is not suitable for low slung vehicles. There are enough parking spaces for up to 5 cars in the farmyard and through the gate in front of the kitchen door. Please do not block the farmyard gates or tracks as they will be in constant use. Please also park on hard standing ground, not on the grass as it can become wet and difficult to negotiate.
