The Experience
Quiet, upstairs bedrooms have pleasant views, family furniture and good reading lights. They share a sitting room, warmed by a woodburner and with a calm, easy-going atmosphere. You breakfast in here or in the conservatory: cereals, yogurt, homegrown fruit and free-range eggs, or the full caboodle for another fiver. A two-course supper can also be arranged – Clare and Mike both love to cook and all will be seasonal, local and often from their garden.
You’re just half a mile from the Tarka Trail, part of which gives you 30 miles of traffic-free cycling – calming for less confident riders, or a walking path. The wild waves of the north coast are close and Exmoor or Dartmoor hikes for the hearty are within an hours’ drive. Bring a takeaway back if you want (there’s a good Indian restaurant in Great Torrington) and Clare will provide plates etc.
You’ll feel very much at home sitting by the pond on a summer evening with a glass of wine – you may spot an otter.

We have just made our second stay at this beautifully situated old house. The accommodation is first class. Clare being an accomplished chef, produces delicious meals with many of the ingredients grown in her own garden. If you seek peace and quiet this is the perfect place much enhanced by Clare and Michael being the perfect hosts.

We had a lovely two-night stay at Frizenham Farmhouse. Our double room was light, spacious and tastefully furnished, with a really comfortable bed, and sparkling clean en-suite bathroom with a fabulous shower. Breakfast in the conservatory was delicious, especially the home-grown fruit and eggs from the farm. And nothing was too much trouble – Clare shared suggestions for eating out, walks, drives and even provided a beautiful bouquet of hand-picked flowers from the garden for us to take to family we were visiting. We would definitely recommend this B&B!

We had a 3 night stay with dinner each evening. We found Frizenham farmhouse very comfortable and a relaxing place to stay. Clare was most welcoming and obliging. Our room was spacious and the shower room was of a high quality with good hand and body wash ( made with natural ingredients) Tea was good in the fine bone China cups . Clare is an excellent cook and we were so glad to enjoy dinner each evening with fresh produce from the garden, good quality chicken, fish and a vegetarian meal, & pudding. RHS garden nearby too. Highly recommend this b&b.

We were warmly welcomed by Clare. Our room was beautifully clean and airy and the bed was extremely comfortable. Delicious breakfasts with fresh fruit and eggs. We also took advantage of eating dinner in on two evenings; with home grown and freshly picked produce - a total treat. RHS Rosemoor is very close and the Tarka Trail - perfect for hiring bikes and cycling in the shade (or walking)! Would definitely recommend.

This is not your traditional B&B but we had a great stay. The breakfast of ‘Eggs’ was delicious. This was due to the fact that the eggs were fresh from the chickens in the garden. If you want a cooked English breakfast, you just need to ask and pay an extra £5. We had three evening meals and they were all delicious. The ingredients were locally sourced and veg and fruit was from the garden. We dined in the conservatory which was lovely and used the lounge to relax after dinner. The rooms are not serviced during your stay, if you ask I’m sure Clare would accommodate.

We were a party of four, so it was lovely to have use of the conservatory and sitting room just for ourselves. Clare made us feel very welcome and provided us with delicious meals on the three nights we stayed. One of us, has food intolerances and Clare managed this excellently. Thank you, Clare.

Gorgeous b&b in a traditional farmhouse setting with exquisite attention to detail. The property is super comfortable with artistic interior. We’ve returned twice in the last month. The breakfast alone is enough to return for - homemade fruit compote and the freshest eggs, cooked to perfection. Absolutely delicious! The host, Clare, is lovely and made us feel very at home during our two recent stays. This will be a regular for us when visiting family in the area. For me, this is my perfect b&b and I’m delighted to have found it.

It was good to meet Clare and Mike, and to see how they're breathing new life into their home, and garden. I picture arriving by bike from the Tarka Trail, looking forward to a home-grown meal by the fire and a deeply peaceful sleep...

Location
The neighbourhood
Great Torrington is a few minutes by car. Find the Victorian pannier market shops open all week and a bustling general market on Fridays and Saturdays. There are lots of cafés and restaurants, Dartington Crystal where you can see glass being blown and an arts centre with a programme of talks, films and events. RHS Rosemoor is nearby for impressive gardens to wander and plants to fill your boot.
Local points of interest from Clare & Mike Burnham
- If its history your interested in you may well have passed the tiny 14th century leper colony chapel in Taddiport. Then into Torrington up Mill Street you pass the terraced houses which would have housed workers from the once thriving glove industry.
- Visit the bustling pannier market and then the small quirky museum well worth a look in. A walk through cobbled streets and learn about one of the last battles of the bloody civil war with the brutal Battle of Torrington of 1646.
- The Plough Arts Centre offers a rather brilliant array of live theatre, concerts, films and good coffee. Further afield the Burton Arts Centre in Bideford has local and national visiting art exhibitions.
- For the sea, sand and surf lovers go North to the nearest beach 20 mins drive along the winding Torridge Valley to Westward Ho! Here you have an enormous sandbeach with Northam Burrows and visitors centre to inform you of the wildlife and local ecosystems
- RHS Rosemoor just a Devon valley away or 3 miles by road is one of the West Country’s most beautiful gardens and even if your not a gardener it’s a rather lovely place to visit, to have a good lunch, attend a workshop or just be inspired by the setting
- The Tarka trail part of the coast to coast path 1 mile from us gives easy walking or cycling. A beautiful walk/ride North towards Bideford taking in the River Torridge Valley and coastal village or south with woodland and open farmland towards Dartmoor.

Introducing
Clare & Mike Burnham
Clare and Mike moved here from Frampton on Severn so Clare could garden more extensively and Mike could have workshop space - you'll see some of his installations in the house. They've undertaken a huge restoration and landscaping programme, rear a small flock of rare breed sheep and enjoy sharing their home and garden with guests. It's an open door sort of place so you can unwind properly.
The setting is perfect – a truly peaceful rural location with lovely gardens and far-reaching views. We found the farmhouse was also perfectly positioned for us to explore the North Devon coast, with the Hartland coast a fairly short drive away. We are vegetarians and Clare was a wonderful, imaginative and really thoughtful cook – and was happy to cook for us almost every night! We especially enjoyed the plethora of fresh fruit and veg from the garden. And we found our stay was also tremendous value for money. Frizenham really is quite a find for those looking for a quiet getaway.
