About the host

Hosted by Renate Huckle

Host profile image
After many years working as a GP in South Devon—where we enjoyed boat building, sailing, renovating houses, and raising our four children—we felt drawn to a quieter, more rural way of life. After a long search, we discovered Bradford Barton, a beautifully unspoilt and secluded 15th-century farm set in the heart of Devon, perfectly positioned between Exmoor and Dartmoor along the Two Moors Way.

With its spacious farmhouse and a collection of characterful old barns, it felt like the perfect place to begin a new chapter—and we’ve never looked back. We truly enjoy welcoming guests and sharing this special place with others.

Why they chose this property

The farm spans 150 acres of beautiful meadows, enclosed by traditional Devon hedgerows that provide a haven for wildlife. After lovingly restoring the farmhouse and cottage, we feel incredibly fortunate to call this special place home.

While no longer a working farm, the land remains rich and productive. We care for three established apple orchards, which supply our 250-year-old cider press—used each autumn to make fresh apple juice and traditional cider.

There are also three ancient deciduous woodlands, a stunning 10-acre arboretum with over 330 specimen trees (including rare varieties), and a recently planted 10-acre grove of 350 Giant Redwoods—remarkable trees known for their longevity and exceptional carbon capture.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is spacious, solid, and wonderfully private, filled with natural light and enjoying beautiful views over the pond, vegetable garden, and surrounding fields. At night, the setting becomes truly magical—listen for owls and take in the clear, star-filled skies.

With its historic buildings and timeless atmosphere, many guests feel transported to a gentler, bygone era. You’re free to explore the arboretum, wander through the Giant Redwood grove, and roam the orchards and open fields at your leisure.
