Jim and Diana would like to give you a warm welcome to Pounds Farm. We offer you lovely rooms, comfortable beds and delicious breakfasts. Whether you are planning a few days away or just a single night, you will enjoy a sense of tranquility in an idyllic setting. The airy bedrooms have comfy beds with feather pillows and duvets. From your window you can see the flock of geese step out from the pond and over the field.
The bedrooms are light and restful with fresh flowers and lovely views. We have one king ensuite and the other rooms have a private bathroom. A tray with biscuits, teas, real coffee and hot chocolate will be ready for you to enjoy and fresh milk is provided. On cold mornings we light the wood burner in the dining room and on fine mornings in the summer, you can enjoy eating your breakfast outside.
The breakfast menu is free range and locally sourced. Our smoked, dry cured bacon and meaty sausages are from pigs grazing just over the hill and the eggs are from our own hens who are out on grass.

For 35 years we have lived in Hemyock in the beautiful Blackdown Hills.
This is where our children were born and grew up, all sharing a busy family life in a very special place.
As the children have now left to live in Bristol and London, we happily welcome guests to our peaceful home.
The large garden with borders, an orchard and vegetable plot which surrounds us is my passion.
I enjoy growing flowers and arranging them for the house.
Jim helps me in the house, mows the extensive lawns and maintains the property.

The village has been an established settlement since Saxon times and the name may be derived from Ham (enclosure) and Ock (oak tree).
Hemyock is the largest village in the Blackdown Hills.

Do drop into Donna's farm shop and take home some tasty sausages, salamis and chorizo, and try some local, traditional farmhouse cider, which can be delivered during your stay.
