The space
Winbrook Farm is nestled in the rolling hills of the Devon Cornwall border, with countryside views across the farm and beyond. We are a small working farm, with footpaths, trails and country lanes all around.
Pull off the main road, wind down the country lanes, and take a deep breath of fresh, countryside air, as you roll onto the farmyard and relax. Enjoy lazy days on the farm, sun drenched afternoons on the beach or moor, cultural and family outings galore, foody farmshop heaven, far reaching starry skies and cosy nights in front of the log burner.
