Kind words from the farm
“The Shippon is just magic — peaceful, beautifully styled, and the kind of place you instantly feel at home.”
“The perfect romantic getaway — a place to recuperate, unwind and get back in touch with nature.”
Julia Martin
Julia has farmed these eighteen acres since 2003 — organically, patiently, and with a soft spot for every animal on the place. She keeps rare Devon & Cornwall Longwool sheep, three Connemara ponies, rare-breed hens, two farm cats and Alba the Labrador, who adores meeting guests. Stay, and it's Julia who welcomes you.
A day at Borough Farm
Dawn
The chorus starts before you do. Sunrise comes up over Dartmoor and straight into bed — The Yard and the yurt face east on purpose.
Morning
Feed rounds. The Connemara ponies hang their heads over the stable doors, the rare-breed hens are already busy, and Alba the Labrador will find you before you find her.
Afternoon
Walk the eighteen acres or the moor beyond. Swim wild at Lydford, climb Brentor, or do absolutely nothing in the orchard — we press our own apple juice from it.
Evening
Light your fire pit. Book the barrel sauna or a wood-fired hot tub and stay in until your shoulders drop. Once a week, the pizza oven comes out in the courtyard.
Night
Real dark-sky country. From The Granary you stargaze from under the covers; from the hot tub, the whole Milky Way.
That's it. That's the itinerary.
