Orchard House & Cider Barn - Self-catering in Devon
East Cornworthy, Totnes, TQ9 7HF, Devon
England,
Regno Unito
Devon lanes weave through creek-side villages from Totnes, finally opening to the boat-bobbed Dart, shimmering on a summer’s day. Then, at the end of a half-mile drive fringed with fields you reach Riverside Farm, home to managed sheep and woodland. Orchard House, newly built with local stone and Delabole roofing slates, and Cider Barn, a clever conversion, are named after the apple trees that once stood here. The friendly owners and the farm manager live on site, show you around and then leave you in peace. Inside is spacious, hi-spec, open plan and awash with light, from the kitchens for wannabe Nigellas to the large rain showers and ‘his and her’ sinks upstairs. Anyone who loves water will love it here; the boats and the estuary are ever in view and each window captures a different angle. What’s more, the path outside winds down from the garden to a private jetty (bring canoes!). Browse the shops of arty Totnes, cruise down the Dart on a coal-fired steamer, hail the Dittisham ferry to Agatha Christie’s house. Then it’s back to a barbecue and drinks with a view - or crumpets by the wood-burner.

Local points of interest from Hilary & Ted Tuppen:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Hilary & Ted Tuppen:
- The rolling hills, estuaries, moors and beaches of South Devon make this an unbeatable holiday destination for anyone wanting to explore some of England's finest countryside. Castles, historic houses and beautiful gardens......there's so much to enjoy.
- The stunning natural harbour at Dartmouth and characterful Totnes are both only a 20 minute drive away. The local villages of Dittisham and Tuckenhay have well-renowned riverside pubs. Slapton beach and Blackpool Sands are just 25 minutes away.
- The list of activities and places of interest to explore in South Devon is never-ending - fishing or steam trains, boating or walking, naval history or vineyards, there's something for everyone. Or simply relax and look at the amazing views from the farm.
- Launch your kayaks/paddle boards from our private jetty or arrange to use the facilities at Blackness Marine (next door to the farm) for launching larger boats. Explore the beautiful estuary by paddle steamer/ferry or rent a boat in Dartmouth.
- Walkers can easily access the South West Coast Path, John Musgrave Heritage and Dart Valley Trails as well as the vast splendour of Dartmoor. Or walk from the farm to explore the local lanes and footpaths, calling into a local pub for lunch or a pint.
- Food lovers will be spoilt for choice - water-side and village pubs, beach-side cafes and exceptional restaurants offer the freshest seafood and locally sourced produce. Field kitchen, beach cafe or Michelin-starred restaurant.....the choice is yours.
