Yallands Farmhouse is a delightful Grade 2 Listed building dating back over 400 years, which sat amidst acres of green fields for several centuries. Our seven guest bedrooms are individually and attractively decorated and furnished. Some contain period pieces or antiques; double bedrooms, except for one "budget" room, have king size beds. Each bedroom has full en-suite facilities, with bath or powerful shower, or both. A bit of history........ Much work has yet to be done to unravel the history of Yallands, the oldest part of which is, according to expert opinion "unlikely to be later than the mid 16th. century". We do know, however, that in 1520, one Thomas Fox rented from the Lord of the Manor, a "toft and a furling" named "Yallons" in Staplegrove. In rather more recent times, the farmhouse is reputed to have been used by smugglers, who worked from Seaton and Beer on the East Devon coast, and sometimes from Blue Anchor and Kilve on the Somerset seaboard. The farmhouse, which, in those days would have been an isolated building up a narrow lane leading from the main Taunton to Barnstaple road would appear to have been an ideal hide-out.
