Home Farm Hotel in East Devon

Huge disappointment. Be warned! What is on offer is nothing like what is shown on website. Had to wait three quarters on an hour and then had to prompt for menu. Young staff very pleasant but untrained for restaurant work. Had to ask for condiments and table water. Had three different mains and all equally mediocre. Would not recommend. Very different from the divine food service and bon homie of the previous owners.

My wife and I called in for coffee and a snack. I needed to use the toilet so my wife went into the bar/restaurant to order. By the time I came out I heard the managers loud voice saying you can’t use the toilets we are not a public toilet! We said we had hoped to have drinks and a snack he said they were too busy and we shouldn’t have used the toilet…. What a terrible attitude

We had been planning to go here for sometime after recommendations and reading the Tripadvisor reviews. We were not disappointed! From the moment we arrived and greeted by Richard we were made to literally feel at home in this beautiful building. Not knowing much at all about Thai food Richard was so helpful in explaining the dishes. The restaurant has authentic Thai dining furniture imported from Thailand and this added to the ambience of the dining experience. Wonderful freshly cooked food to our taste we will definitely go back. So lucky to have authentic Thai food only 20 minutes from our home!

Great stay and the food at the restaurant was exceptional. Richard was a great host and was keen to make sure our stay was perfect. The bed was large and comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. This is not your typical hotel as the buildings are old and the layout is quirky. We had a great stay and will definitely be back.

A really excellent dining experience. Great host who was extremely convivial and both courses that we each had were plentiful and delicious. Thoroughly recommend.

Visited in 2019 and 2022. The Thai menu is extensive and the food quality is excellent. Standards are high. Will tailor the spiciness level of the dishes to your requests.

I looked for somewhere to celebrate my birthday while staying in the area, and I spotted Home Farm. We were a party of 14, and Richard already had a party of 10 booked for the dining room, so we were offered to eat in the bar, a bonus for us!!. Richard really took his time with each person, when ordering, to ensure the meal was as required, Thai food can be a little hot, and he downgraded the heat level for several of the party, and everyone really loved their food. My wife ordered a sea bass meal and it came beautifully presented, off the bone with an outstanding sauce that added to the flavour rather than smother it. Several members of the party, love Thai food and described this as the best they had ever tasted, as a novice, wow!! The flavours burst into life in your mouth, clean and exciting, and that from someone who doesn't like Chinese food. If you're not a Thai food fanatic, trust Richard to match you to a dish, if you love it, please go, you won't be disappointed. Thank you for making our meal the highlight of a lovely holiday, what a shame we live 220 miles away, just have to come and stay in your hotel next time

Had a two night stay with family I would recommend this hotel very highly, Richard is an excellent host Nothing's is too much trouble, really good breakfast and you must try the Thai food, Richards wife is the chef and produces the best Thai food I've had in a very long time. Thanks Richard Great Stay Steve

I booked a table for me and my husband for his Birthday week. Made a telephone booking and even the call was friendly and funny, Richard has a great sense of humour. Arrived on the 4th December. A beautiful, historic building greets you. We went in via reception. Lovely, warm and very clean. We went to the bar area and Richard welcomed us immediately. He’s an excellent host, made us feel very welcome. We ordered drinks and sat in the cosy bar area. Richard helped us with the menu. We chose a Thai meal and he explained to us how the meal can be tailor made to suit your taste. If you like a quite a spicy version, you can have it. The same if you prefer a milder taste. I opted for a mild Chicken Thai curry. My husband opted for chicken and pork (made specially) Thai curry. We chose Dim Sum as a starter. We didn’t have to wait too long before we were taken through the restaurant. As soon as you walk in you are surrounded by the most amazing aromas…no kidding. You have to experience that alone. We sat down. The room is lovely. A huge old fireplace and beams on the ceiling..beautiful. Again, very, very clean. The starter was brought out to us. WOW! THE BEST dim sum I have EVER had in my life..honestly. The flavours were so good. Richard can’t be more accommodating and asked how the dim sum was. I told him it’s the best I’ve ever had. Then came out the main. The smell alone had my mouth watering. We were both happy with the spice we chose. There was plenty of food too. Nothing was too much trouble. Even the chef (Richard’s lovely wife) came out to greet us. How nice is that. I thought I’d give this place a try as we have passed by so many times. I’m so glad we did and we will definitely be going back. We’ve decided to go through the whole menu. I’m not sure if they do deserts as I was too full to be able to contemplate one. Lovely, friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Thanks to everyone who made our evening so special.

My wife & I visited the restaurant last weekend and had a fantastic evening - the atmosphere, food and service were faultless. The food was incredible: my wife had the spring rolls followed by sweet & sour chicken, while I had the Thai not-fishcakes (they were chicken) followed by Yang Neua (grilled beef with a VERY spicy dipping sauce). The portions were very generous, so we shared a dessert. Similar satisfied noises came from the diners at all the other tables, so it wasn't just us. The proprietors are very passionate about their food and that really came across. It was also great to discover that the chicken is free range. This was our first visit to Home Farm, but I am sure it won't be our last.

Very pretty location and after reading the menu my mother in law and I opted for steak ( first class) and fish( beautifully cooked and presented) whilst clever logs, other half, chose from the extensive thai menu. it was more art than food and food from heaven. what a find! e shall be returning again and again.

Great Atmosphere and we both liked Richard's cheeky banter. He explained they don't have any staff at the moment due to Covid so the meal would be a leisurely affair. The food didn't disappoint, it was totally authentic, exactly the same as we had had in Thailand, yum yum yum. We can't wait till we can go again.

Had a lovely evening here and felt very safe and comfortable with drinks in the bar before moving to the restaurant for dinner and then back to the bar.The most outstanding part though was the Thai cuisine home cooked to order and catered without issue for our gluten free dietary requirements.Can't recommend this place highly enough and can't wait to go back.

Had a lovely relaxing evening with drink in the bar ahead of moving to the restaurant after we had placed our orders. Food was exceptional and would highly recommend. Starters of tempura chicken and satay chicken followed by massaman beef curry and glazed duck dish All excellent and service friendly and very good

We had two dinners and breakfast from this restaurant because we stayed in the Home Farm Hotel. We wanted to have the dinner and breakfast during our stay, but had to cancel our plans due to VERY POOR customer service received from Richard and also because of his wife's cooking due to overcooked and burned full cook breakfast we received from the restaurant. Day 1, Richard introduced his wife to us, but she totally ignored us and in addition, she did not even bother to acknowledged and smiled with us. She seems to be very upset or very distance from everything or stressed/fed up about something at the time. Not sure this was due to over working… Day 1, Richard requested us to come down stairs for the dinner at 18:00, but instead of taking us to the restaurant for dinner, he tried his best to hard sell the alcohols he had in the bar to us and also to all the other guests. This happened even after we told him several times that we only want the meal and no alcohol from his bar. After about two hours, I had to tell him that I’m a diabetic and heart patient therefore I do really want to eat the meal and have a rest. He gave us the menu and I asked for lamb which was on the menu and he went crazy and said to us that they do not provide English food in this restaurant. I showed him what was on the menu, but he did not even apologise to us. He said lamb run out and asked us to select something else from the menu, again we selected duck, but that was run out as well!!! By then, Richard was sarcastic and rude to us as well as to other guests… In the end, we asked what we can have for our dinner. He almost shouted at us saying he and his wife only there to run the hotel without any staff therefore, we have to eat whatever his wife can cook!!! Finally, at about 21:00, we managed to have our dinner and I asked Richard to cancel our breakfast and dinner booking for the rest of the days however, he said we have to take the breakfast for next day because it was too late to cancel it. Next morning (Day 2), we were near the restaurant since 08:00 as Richard requested but as usual, past 09:00 we received burnt and overcooked full breakfast for two of us. They had a very large menu but it seems like most of the food either his wife did not know how to cook or had run out. Richard charged full price for our meals, BUT he FORGOT to provide the good quality food and services to the customers…

From the warm friendly welcome, the the high standard of the room, the superb cuisine, large selection of wine and gin, it would be very hard for a reasonable person to find fault with anything! The beds and pillows were very comfy, the bathroom nice and clean and the COVID-19 measures were absolutely fine. The standard of decor throughout the hotel is very good, lovely hand carved furniture brought over from Thailand. The range of drinks available was fine, the wine we had was superb and the gin menu a great idea! The food was sublime. My 'heat level' was a 4 on their scale, which was warm without being uncomfortable on the pallet. Choices for starters and mains were wide and truly authentic. Probably the best Thai food we have ever had! Richard, the owner was very friendly and as helpful as can be. The only very minor downside is the road is quite close and can be a bit noisy in the morning, but its only a minor issue really! A fab stay, fab people, fab food, fab cider, gin, wine...we will definitely stay again next time we are in the area!!

Really great home cooked and authentic Thai food. Served in a great room with furniture from Thailand. The service was perfect, tasty food with a great selection on the menu.

Week away and we found this gem , the best Tai meal l have ever had, service was great and the quality and flavour was just amazing . Pure quality meal

What can I say !! A superb tranquil hotel ...such a beautiful place and we were welcomed with open arms from the owners Richard and Nat ..Lovely couple who work so hard to make your stay as lovely as possible and it definitely was.... our room was perfect and very clean and comfy , lovely shower and jacuzzi bath , tea coffee and biscuits in the room and comfy warm bed .We didn’t have breakfast , as we left early every morning to go down to the beach but we definitely came back for the evening meal , as they specialise in authentic Thai food ... Richards wife Nat is Thai and we have to say , it was definitely the best Thai food we have ever had , was absolutely delicious, she is a fantastic cook it was amazing, (Richards a very lucky ) ... fantastic atmosphere in the hotel and restaurant, Richard is a very welcoming and funny man and we had such great banter and fun... The restaurant is open to non residents also and has a fantastic name ... They both work extremely hard and made our weekend a special one .... we will definitely be returning to this gorgeous place and can not recommend it enough .... beautiful place and amazing owners/hosts that made our weekend very special... Perfect x

The Thai food served at Home farm is some of the best you will experience. Wide choice on the menu and adjusted to your tolerance for spice .Great service and great food what more could you ask for

Great food, very authentic, really fragrant and the service was relaxed and friendly. I'd definitely recommend

Richard could not have been more helpful to us in organising the best rooms for our family. Enjoyed a good value and very good quality thai meal at the restaurant and breakfast was generous and tasty.

Authentic Thai food cooked by the Thai chef. Portions are ok but be careful about the chilli - mild is not considered mild and I am used to chilli food. Go for less chilli as you can add otherwise a delicious meal can be spoilt. They try to be accommodating which is lovely.

Had wonderful Thai meal last night. Richard was a great host, making recommemdations as to how hot i wanted my Geen Curry. My husband had the Beef in oyster sauce and both were absolutely delicious. Very generous portions and the Government discount was a pleasant surprise. Highly recommended.

Superb authentic Thai food in Devon! Wonderfully meal here. We were su surprised to find a top class Thai restaurant in a 200yr old farmhouse in Devon. The food was fresh, made to order and amazing flavors. The massamam curry may have been the best I’ve ever tasted. Service was great, informal, friendly and full of character! Exactly how it should be. If your in Devon or passing through - book ahead. You won’t be disappointed.

You need to go to Thailand to get food like this. Superb. Friendly atmosphere, nice surroundings. I would happily go agian.

We were really keen to have a Thai meal whilst away for a few nights on the Jurassic coast. We count ourselves extremely lucky to have been able to book a table in the restaurant, because we found our meal to be very high quality and delicious. The freshly cooked dishes of green curry, phad Thai and special fried rice all offered delightful flavours. Our young son enjoyed the meals as much as us. The hosts were friendly and hospitable, whilst following strict social distancing / personal protection guidance. The restaurant is set in a beautiful old hotel. We found the meal to be on the same level as upmarket offerings in London. We’d happily return again when visiting the area, maybe to stay in the hotel as well.

Large flat screen TV in bar area on full blast which we didn't appreciate considering the ambience of the building. Background music would've been more appropriate. The waitres didn't seem very attentive to our needs at all & we had to wait nearly an hour for the starter to arrive! The main course was not what we ordered in that the strength of the sauces had been mixed up! My husband's beef in his dish was chewy. When I got home I felt very unwell and ended up ill for 10 days with a stomach upset due I guess to the mussels. Sorry we won't be back !!!

What a surprise! Our friends read a review in a local magazine recently and thought we’d like to join them for a Thai meal at Home Farm. There’s nothing outside to hint at the amazing Thai foodie experience to be had at this wonderful restaurant. Richard and Nat give a really warm welcome and serve plentiful, freshly cooked, authentic Thai food with beautifully fresh ingredients.I thought I might regret ordering a starter of chicken satay, but it really was nothing like the usual dry old skewers accompanied by peanut butter! Two skewers of beautifully tender pieces of marinaded chicken breast with a fabulous home made sauce, crispy noodles and zingy salads.... and a mixed seafood stir fry to follow with all manner of gorgeous fish, including huge scallops, prawns, mussels, squid and a whole fillet of sea bass. We’ll definitely be back!

We were thrilled to have visited Home Farm last Friday night. My father has dementia so he wasnt the easiest visitor but he was over the moon and gobbled up his dinner in no time. Thai food has to be my favoutie so I was thrilled to hear about this wonderful restaurant. The food was exceptional, fresh ingredients and so so delicious. Richard took the time to ask ask how hot we wanted our food from 1 non spicey to 10 very hot. My sister in law and I were travelling back from Sherborne and our tarin was delayed so we were able to view the menu on line and ring Richard to place our order so he was able to pass this onot the chef. It was all bang on and we cant wait to visit again. We were only sorry not to meet Richards wife the chef. Booking is essential Thank you so much

We visited home farm as a family last night and were really impressed! The food is the best Thai food we have ever eaten.. from starters through to dessert the food is just amazing! Richard is a brilliant host.. the place has a really welcoming and homely feel! Will be back again very soon. 5 star service

Plenty of choices on the menu. Dim Sum, Massaman Lamb curry, and Thai duck were amazing. Excellent balance of flavours and good sized portions. Definitely the best Thai food we have tasted.

Went in on the off-chance, what a great meal. Thai cooked to order with good ingredients. Just watch out for the portion sizes, much more than your regular Thai.

Nat is an excellent chef whom will prepare your meal with fresh ingredients, best produce and lots of talent. Best Thai meal I ever had.

Day out in Devon, needed supper & found home Farm. Normally bookings only but we walked in & were made very welcome. Service very attentive & thai food wonderful. We just love banana fritters too!

Friendly. Went Thai & Kai best starter ever. Lots selection beautiful surroundings Music was very Kladerman

What a find. A truly fabulous Thai Restaurant. Tonight we were celebrating my husband’s birthday and couldn’t have chosen anywhere better. As we are holidaying in the area, this was a ‘pot luck’ choice (though we did check other Tripadvisor recommendations.A really friendly family run the hotel and restaurant, you are seated in the lounge to have a drink whilst your meal is cooked for you- you even get to decide how spicy you want it because every dish is cooked from scratch.The food was all delicious and beautifully presented, service was great-cheerful and attentive.We’d highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you for a delightful evening.

We recently stayed at the hotel and are in the restaurant in the evening. What an absolute delight. Home cooked, fresh produce and one of finest Thai meals we have eaten. Richard,Nat and there daughter deserve credit for such high standards. Keep it up 👍

As it was our wedding anniversary we were looking for something a ‘bit special’ and not ‘run f the Mill’ pub food within 30 minutes drive. Found Home Farm whilst looking on Trip Advisor and decided to try it as we’re partial to Thai food.

Out first experience of Home Farm after a recommendation from a friend. My husband read the reviews and booked for a birthday meal for me. My goodness, this place and it's food is stunning in it's care for the customer to have the best experience. Michael and Nat are passionate about the whole experience when you dine here. Michael helped us decide on a dish and we could tweak the heat of the dish to our preference. I've never had a restaurant owner be so attentive (without being invasive) to making our experience be magnificent. They are a small family business where booking would be recommended. I had Belly pork and sticky noodles to start. Divine! For main I had a Duck curry in a beautiful creamy sauce that had a little heat to it. Ended with incredible coconut ice cream, My husband had a Spicy Chicken soup followed by Seafood stir fry curry. The amount of meat in these dishes is much more than we had expected I we felt that the price for a dish was fair. Given that they go out and source the produce themselves provides "wow" food. I've never felt that way about a meal out before. You have to go here and spread the news like we are. This is 10* cuisine and East Devon is fortunate to have this place. Now stop reading and book :)

If you like thai food then this is the place to go. It is wonderful. Cooked with love and care. The best prawns I have ever tasted!!

Great food and great service. The choice was amazing for such a small hotel. Would definitely recommend Home Farm Hotel

An unexpected find for me but I’ll definitely be back. I was welcomed warmly by the owner, and relaxed in a comfortable bar area while my food was prepared. The food was delicious - traditional dishes, melt in the mouth lamb, and all full of flavour. All enjoyed in a peaceful setting, on carved wooden furniture imported from Thailand. The food is relatively pricey but justifiably so as it is all prepared fresh, so in this case it’s true that you get what you pay for.

We were looking for a local Thai restaurant to celebrate Valentines Day and to our amazement Home Farm popped up. Who'd know this is a Thai eatery?? And, not just any Thai restaurant but the best we've ever eaten at. The food is absolutely gorgeous, cooked freshly and presented beautifully by friendly staff, plus the authentic menu is huge enough to suit any taste - we'll be back.

Thank you Richard and Nat for the best thai food we have had in the Uk, the owners could not be more welcoming food and drink was well priced and as we are local will be back again

I came here with my partner, he had a red curry and I had the lamb massaman - both were superb. We couldn't fault the food or service. Excellent hosts in a beautiful old building. Definitely worth a visit.

Visited this little gem last night with my boyfriend after he'd be recommending it for almost a year since his Mother's birthday back in November, and I can see why. Richard made us feel welcome and was more than happy to run through gin choices with me, gave us time to browse the menu before running through our options and advising on choices based on our own tolerance of heat. He knew the ins and outs of every choice on the menu and steered us towards choices he thought we would enjoy best.

Wonderful food and service. Very diverse. Thai, Chinese and English food. Some good wines available too.

See my full review under Home Farm Hotel - Fantastic authentic Thai cuisine and exceptional service.

We have just been to this restaurant and it is amazing. Wonderful welcome from Richard & his wife, lovely relaxed atmosphere. The food was amazing - cannot fault our evening & highly recommend a visit. Thank you for a great evening 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We are always on the lookout for good Thai restaurants, which are unfortunately few and far between in this neck of the woods. So were delighted to discover this place during a random online search. The food was absolutely amazing, particularly the mookrob pad kra pow, and we particularly appreciated 'auntie' in the kitchen rustling up our favourite salad although it wasn't on the menu. It was nice to chat with Richard, who assured us that they could adapt any of the dishes for vegetarians, smaller portions for children, etc. Very flexible and accommodating. The best Thai food within a 30-minute drive of where we live, so we'll definitely be back!

Absolutely wonderful hotel, very comfortable, very friendly,very cosy, very clean, staff are amazing couldn’t do enough for you, and a beautiful Thai restaurant on site will definitely visit again. 😃

The requested buffet for our party of 30 was well catered with excellent presentation and overall quality. The owners tried hard to make the whole event come together with nothing too much trouble. From salvers of meats to salads, quiches, crispy chicken wings and rolls followed by cheesecake, two different fresh fruit salads and traditional Devon cream teas, the whole offer went down well with guests. Worth giving Home Farm Hotel restaurant a try when you have a group gathering. Next, we're going to try the Thai cuisine one evening as a group of four.

What a place this is!! Richard and Nat are incredible hosts and are very attentive to your specific needs, providing a very warm and friendly atmosphere throughout, we just didn't want to leave! The room we stayed in was light yet cosy, a little chilly at night when the heating went off but blankets are provided. The jacuzzi bath was a real treat too! The only issue we had was the noise from the road, it does get rather noisy from 5-6am onwards with large lorries passing by. The rooms are cleaned daily and the essentials topped up by very friendly staff.. after all, us Brits can't be without a brew in the morning!! As for the food.. WOW! I haven't tasted Thai green curry as fresh as that in my life.. it was incredible! HUGE compliments to the chef!! The chicken was tender and not the usual water injected toss from a wholesalers, the veg all locally sourced and cooked to perfection, honestly you cannot fault it. Breakfast, although served rather early (7-8:30am weekdays - we're not early birds), was lovely with hot drinks and a variety of hot and cold options to choose from, yogurts, fresh fruit and juices also provided - with a very hungry 16 month old on board with us, he was in his element here! There is a bar too which, when requested, could be opened, but we sat here enjoying a drink whilst waiting for dinner. Although there is a bit of a wait for food, it is so worth it! It's cooked fresh and to order to ensure that perfection.. the bottle of prosecco certainly helped kill the time though.

Enjoyed a fantastic meal here over the Easter weekend.. The food was freshly prepared, with delicious flavours. Extensive Thai menu, well worth a visit .

I stayed here on business with my colleague.

The food here is fabulous. Proper authentic Asian food. If we lived closer we would book in here even if we weren't staying!

The Charm of the quaint old buildings was matched by the charm of the staff !!! The suite was everything we hoped for and the icing on the cake was the utterly superb Thai food ! We can't wait to return !

Apres une journee de route, tous les b&b; et hotels locaux essaient de me louer une chambre double au prix fort (voyageur seul sans reservation,et deja 18h30).Une bonne surprise m'attendait,un petit coin de paradis,acceuil,qualite prix,cuisine Thailandaise plus que authentique(realisee par l'epouse du proprietaire).

Cálida bienvenida del propietario eclipsado cuando nos dijeron que el restaurante estaba cerrado debido a la sobre corriente trabajo de renovación. Decepcionados porque no había tenido aviso previo. Sin embargo, nos ofrecieron una cena en la casa de los propietarios, ya que éramos los únicos huéspedes alojados en el hotel. No haber comido comida tailandesa antes y no quieren que la comida picante, nos llevamos buenos consejos sobre qué elegir y fotos mostradas de platos preparados previamente. Desde las fotos, elegimos una fuente compartir y dos platos de gambas. La fuente era de tres parcelas de primavera, tres palitos de satay y cerdo crujiente. Me pareció extraño que dos personas tenían tres elementos para compartir. Mi plato de gambas tenía un poco demasiado chili que era demasiado picante para comer y me fui más. En una nota positiva, el enorme hotel está en una ubicación preciosa, las habitaciones eran increíbles. Espaciosa, limpia y muy cómoda, con un jacuzzi en un precioso cuarto de baño. El desayuno fue de nuevo tomada en los propietarios y estaba delicioso. Debo admitir que me sentí incómodo y torpe comiendo lejos del restaurante del hotel y en el comedor, pero los propietarios hicieron su mejor para nosotros en circunstancias difíciles. El comedor del hotel estaba disponible para el desayuno del segundo día. Todo parecía un poco caótico, ya que, aunque había un número de clientes alojando, nadie parecía todo preparado para servir el desayuno. Sin embargo, la comida era deliciosa de nuevo. Cuando nos marchamos nos dispone a encontrar que la desvia fuente compartir tuve para cenar consistían en tres entradas diferentes en el menú I. e. £7. 95 cada uno. De ahí que un total de 23 libras. 85! ! ! Ciertamente no es una buena relación calidad-precio. Después de leer todos los comentarios anteriores, creo que tuvimos mala suerte para alojarse cuando todo estaba en caos y estoy seguro que era un fallo.

The Thai menu is amazing. I had roast duck and it compared favourably against any Restaurant I have ever eaten in including London. The only difference was the price (about a third)

Qué comida encantadora! Me encanta la comida tailandesa y me pareció que era de primera categoría. Fui con mi novio y conocimos a Richard el dueño y su esposa Nat, que prepara la comida. Son una pareja encantadora y Richard hizo todo lo posible para asegurarse de que teníamos una agradable velada. Realmente es una experiencia preciosa y podrá probar la comida increíble. Richard hace todo lo posible para asegurarse de que están contentos, se aseguró de curry de mi novio era el nivel justo de picante para él y él nos hizo sentir como huéspedes.

Platos cocinados frescos, con mucha variedad, comida tailandesa para llevar genial botín en el futuro. Menú inglés muy bien servido con varios vegetales diferentes.

Tuvimos una cena maravillosa aquí. Maravillosa comida tailandesa con una explosión de sabores e ingredientes frescos. Dueños hicieron sutilmente para asegurarse de que disfrutamos todo lo que comimos y estaba preparado a nuestro gusto. Sin duda volveremos. Gracias

Nos alojamos en el pueblo de Rose farm y estábamos buscando un lugar donde comer, así que decidimos reservar una mesa en casa granja. Muy agradable, y un gran servicio. La comida era fantástica y tenía cordero cadera mi compañero tenía carne, de precio razonable...

Had two evening Thai meals cooked by the owner's wife,whilst the chef was away. The meals were absolutely delicious.

I ordered Moules Marinere as a main course. The portion that came was about the size of a starter. The mussels were described as local but they were certainly nothing special. Luckily I had ordered french fries as well so my meal was mainly bread and chips! I also tried to order a green side salad - but was told no salad...only ratatouille.

Luke the chief is brilliant very talented and food was cooked to perfection.The breakfast was of good quality especially the vegetarian cooked breakfast.The restaurant itself needs updating and revamping as very old, but the service, quality of food and the whole experience was well worth it.

The food here is great. Wasn't sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. Reasonably priced , homely atmosphere and friendly chatty staff that make you feel more than welcome. Can't fault it. Keep up the good work guys.

The staff was very kind, with a high level of service and disponibility.We spent 4 nights and it was sad to leave them and their confortable and friendly farm

We had a lovely meal on the restaurant. We booked a meal as we arrived late in the afternoon more to do with ease than reputation. It turned out to be excellent and our only moan would have been that there was too much. Good choice of non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks.

What a place!! the hotel was spotless, the room VERY comfortable and fresh, and the food was great too.The staff were very helpful and friendly, always time to stop for a chat.Would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting good quality accommodation.

Ate here when we stayed at Home Farm and its a lovely restaurant with good food and service. It serves good pub grub, the usual, steaks, burgers, etc. Very reasonably priced

Absolutely delightful place, we stayed 3 nights with our dog, and made to feel very welcome indeed. The food was of a very high standard, and sourced locally, the fish and chips was the best we have ever tasted.The staff were extremely helpful.

A nice selection of fresh, locally sourced specials are offered so you can't miss with your selection. Our meals were expertly prepared and served with attention to detail. Nice selection of wines made the meal even more inspiring. Of course, a bit of magic never hurts either. Thanks for the memorable magic show, Mr. Englishman:)

Great menu, lots of choice, service extremely good. I chose the Plaice as main course which was lovely. The staff cannot do enough to help.

Lovely, freshly cooked food from a varied menu, The restaurant is cosy and intimate with friendly and helpful staff

We greatly enjoyed two meals in the restaurant with a different menu each evening. Food was delicious. Lovely warm atmosphere.

Really good well prepared, presented and served food. Well priced , well thought out shortish menu with excellent specials. Well priced wine list with good wines. The bar is dog friendly for meals, one sits at a proper table and has great service.

Had a lovely meal with friends last night. We were made very welcome by all the staff. Will definitely be back.

We booked into Home Farm Hotel after our Land Rover Experience earlier in the day. Warm friendly welcome from the owner Ashley. Lovely big room with good decor and plenty of space,en-suite with shower over the bath. Restaurant had a very good selection of meals,ciders and wine. Hotel manager ( Billy ) was on hand for every little thing you may have needed, nothing was to much trouble,even down to the playing card tricks during the evening. Good location with easy access to Lyme Regis/Honiton or Exeter. Hope to visit again sometime soon.

It was most dissapointing to find on arrival that there was no larger on pump and the cider pump not working properly that was our only options considering it was an 18th party & pre booked you would of thought it would of been more orgainsed than this.The food left alot to be desiered medium to rare steaks came out rare, salmon over cooked & who as roast potatoes with salmon ? . All food came out at different times with long waits inbetween. Plates were being collected whilst people were still eating. One particular waitress found it hard to raise a smile and just went through the motions. Good job my family as a sense of humour but wont be going back.

We immediately received a warm welcome from Billy; (shame about his bad jokes! :-) ) and we were shown round. Our room was very comfortable, with a nice en-suite bathroom, TV, free Wifi and a drinks tray. Dinner was lovely, breakfast was amazing. All freshly cooked and good service. Would definitely go there again.

Wanted to try this place as it's near where we live and under newish ownership. Very nice service and decent food. However the soup was mushroom rather than red pepper as on the menu - this was pleasantly shrugged off by the staff and no problem for us, and the bar area where we sat felt rather soulless. I'm sure the main restaurant area would be better.

Enjoyed our meal at Home Farm Hotel - good service, good portions, well cooked, reasonable menu choices, and it is good value too! Atmosphere was family friendly/smart casual. Parking is available.

Overall the servise and the food was beyond expectations. The cod loin was somthing that i would recomend the muscles, clams were a bonus .

From the first greeting at the door to our departure was made enjoyable and welcoming. The food was delicious and evenly spaced and they were very accommodating considering I like everything swamped in garlic at the moment. Definitely recommend here.

We were staying 2miles away in a rural location and this was the nearest place to eat. How fortuitous, we were not disappointed. The food was exquisite, the restaurant full of genial holiday-makers, making friends and asking each other about their home towns.The wine list was great, dessert menu good, bill reasonable and service faultless. We will be back.

Stayed a couple of nights here for access to Lyme Regis when Lyme was full up and this place was inexpensive. It is absolutely lovely. Beautiful building, really pretty and fresh room with en suite and own outside doorway. Delicious food which they served later for us after we arrived late after a 12 he drive. Very friendly owner, Ashley, and a new manager, Billy, who was good fun and incredibly helpful...went out of his way to find cheapest taxis etc. for us so me and my pal could enjoy a night out in Lyme after our fossil hunt. So, a great wee trip and a lovely place to stay. Thanks, Nicky and Kate :-)

I stayed at Home Farm for two nights. My stay here was just perfect. All the staff members are friendly and a great asset to Home Farm hotel. Ashley has done a fantastic job of building a great business but with a true homely feel and welcome.Nothing was too much trouble and always done with a smile. The food was just delicious. Highly recommended and I will be back for more stays at Home Farm.

Had a very warm welcome from the owner, and the hotel had a lovely homely feel,to it , pretty , with thatched roof and cottage rooms. Our superior room was pleasant and spacious,,but a few niggles over the standard of housekeeping , windows in bathroom were non opening, making the room stuffy. Our dinner did not start well with the only draught lager available wasn,t available from the bar, our chosen meal was cooked and presented well , however, without consultation, Our chips were substituted , , not what we would expect. Breakfast, again well cooked and presented. Now the major downside was that we were unaware that we were beside an extremely busy road with constant noise all night, and for that reason having lost two nights sleep, we would not return.

We only stopped by chance but were delighted to find a warm welcome (thanks Gina) and excellent food. I thoroughly enjoyed the belly pork which was attractively presented as well as delicious. The others all demolished their fish and chips. We will certainly stop again when on this route.

We enjoyed a very nice dinner in extremely pleasant surroundings. my wife enjoyed the Hake and I had the Lamb shank both of which were perfectly presented and cooked perfectly. However, when presented with the bill which was in an American Express Wallet we attempted to pay by Amex only to be told there would be a surcharge of 2% - so pay in cash or debit card!

Surprisingly good food in a country location - consomme excellent, Hake well cooked; mussels starter with home made bread, very good and belly pork to die for! We shared a dessert - lemon tart with fruits of the forest ice cream - and a cheese board. A great meal - balanced and good flavours.

On 10 June two of us had dinner in the Home Farm Restaurant and after a gap of some years the quality of the kitchen has seriously improved.The service was charming and friendly although the wait was a little long, probably because there was a lot of food ordered in the bar as well as the restaurant. Also, we had no starter which usually fills the gap.My partner ate the hake and seafood with cheesecake to follow and I had the belly pork main with lemon tart for dessert. All dishes were beautifully cooked and prepared. I understand that the plastic tablecloths are shortly to be replaced with linen ones.We will certainly be returning. Well done Home Farm.

Friendly, effective service and beautifully cooked and presented food combined to make this evening out with friends a most enjoyable experience. The belly pork was superb. We would not hesitate to eat here again.

We came for dinner on the bank holiday weekend. Met by the owner, Home Farm had very friendly staff welcoming us in front of house. The chef here is clearly talented as our food was excellent. All the staff were very attentive and chatty, and it showed as the guests were all at ease, often talking between tables. Overall a great evening, highly recommended.

Simply delicious thank you. We highly recommend the restaurant at Home Farm Hotel really wish I'd met the chef and shaken his hand and thanked him personally (I will be dreaming about your lamb shank )

It was really nice to be greeted by a friendly face at the reception. I was the shown where the bar and restaurant were, before taking me to my room. The room, excellent, well thought out, tea and biscuits waiting for me. A comfy bed, and I had a very good nights sleep. The evening meal was excellent with nice size portions. Breakfast in the morning, was well cooked and set me up for the day. It was nice to be treated as a person and not another source of income coming through the door.

We had a wonderful stay here from 20 – 22 February 2015 in a superior double room with en-suite, with a delicious multi-choice breakfast included. It was the ideal home-from-home, perfectly situated in a beautiful location, with easy access to the coast, countryside, towns and villages in both Devon and Dorset. The owner and staff were friendly, welcoming and extremely helpful. As keen walkers, we couldn’t have found better accommodation. It was stone’s throw from a number of hiking routes and was a relaxing retreat at the end of a strenuous day’s activities. The owner recommended some fabulous restaurants in the area, one of which we visited on our first night (Hix in Lyme Regis). On the second night we sampled the hotel’s equally impressive cuisine. Overall, the hotel was excellent value for money and we would have no hesitation in staying there again, or recommending it to other people.
