The Collective at Woolsery cottage

One of a new breed of rural retreats where stuffy decor and ceremonial service have been ditched in favour of funky interiors and innovative dining, The Collective at Woolsery is a dreamy place to unfurl in spring

In one of the wildest stretches of countryside in the South West – between Hartland and Westward Ho!, where tractors dictate the speed limit – The Collective is a small group of hospitality venues from tech entrepreneurs Michael and Xochi Birch.

The Farmers Arms has gained nationwide attention for its produce‑led menus stocked with ingredients from its own Birch Farm. An assortment of cottages, rooms and suites provide accommodation for those travelling to sample executive chef Ian Webber’s cooking or to visit for a longer gourmet getaway.

Each room reflects the character of the historic building in which it’s located. The Old Smithy cottage, for example, blends its original features with a neutral colour palette and contemporary touches, while the suites above the village shop exude 1940s glamour.

For your chance to win a rural stay at The Collective at Woolsery, simply answer the question below.

What is the name of The Farmers Arms’ executive chef?
