The Milking Parlour
Description
The Milking Parlour is a thatched, 16th-century barn conversion settled on a 48 acre conservation farm in the rural village of Highampton.
Boasting a characterful interior with off-road parking and a variety of livestock across the farm, The Milking Parlour is a great base for families and couples seeking a relaxing yet unique base in Devon.
After a day of rambling the surrounding countryside, the underfloor heating will provide a subtle warmth as you relax, with a wonderful oak-framed conservatory to welcome your return.
The head chef can become acquainted in the kitchen, hosting all the necessities for a short-stay, whilst the dining area is where all can congregate to feast.
Freshen up in the walk-in wet room before seeking comfort in the ground-floor bedrooms, featuring a king-size and twin setup, both with TVs and DVD players.
Take the handcrafted solid oak stairs up to your Minstrels Gallery, which has views of the kitchen and conservatory, before making yourself comfortable beside the woodburning stove.
Outside, take in the stunning and peaceful surroundings, relaxing with a drink on the patio furniture or wandering the expansive farmland as you come close to the animals.
The Milking Parlour is a spectacular base for your holiday, any time of the year.

What guests are saying
We enjoyed our stay at The Milking Parlour very much.
Penny was welcoming and friendly. It is a lovely place in a tranquil setting; a great place to relax and recharge. The accommodation was all that we wanted and to a high standard. I'm intrigued to see what the flower meadows look like in May / June so may well be back.
What a beautiful and peaceful place to stay, the Milking Parlour is a real gem!
I stayed here with my husband for 5 nights, but I would love to have stayed longer. The host Penny was very friendly and gave us some tips about the places to visit, which were all winners. There were welcoming biscuits, butter and milk plus tea and coffee, all very useful, and fresh eggs from the hens. The animals were such a bonus, and nothing can beat watching the squirrels, donkeys and chickens from our outside table. The Milking Parlour was beautifully renovated, and has an interesting history. If we get the chance we would go back again, here’s hoping!
We had a truly amazing week at the Milking Parlour.
We arrived to a clean, warm accommodation with some special local treats dotted around the place. My daughter was immediately enamoured with the animals around the farm, including the two sweet donkeys, numerous chickens and George the goose. Being able to feed them and get close to them was the highlight of her trip. We were also very well positioned to explore the area and made it to Tintagel, Bude, Boscastle, Bodmin, Padstow among other places. We would definitely like to return one day to further explore this magical area. Penny and Paul were extemely welcoming hosts and made us feel like fast friends from the moment we arrived.
