Tucked into the folds of Devon’s rolling hills, Fowlescombe Farm feels like the kind of place time forgot — and then gently remembered. A 450-acre working farm and retreat rooted in regenerative agriculture, design, and slow living, it’s where the pace of life drops to the rhythm of the seasons. The air hums with birdsong, the fields glow green and gold, and the invitation is simple: pause, breathe, and reconnect with the quiet magic of the land.
Here, sustainability is the baseline and everything, from the free-roaming English Longhorns to the wildflower-rich kitchen gardens, moves in a graceful, closed-loop dance. Meals are gathered, foraged, and imagined on the spot. The hospitality feels warm and familial.
Opened in the spring by Caitlin Owens and Paul Glade, Fowlescombe is the natural evolution of the family’s beloved village pub, The Millbrook Inn in South Pool. What that pub did for conviviality, this retreat does for calm: a home away from home for anyone craving meaning with their meadows.
