SURROUNDED BY FIELDS AND WOODLAND IN THE ROLLING HILLS OF NORTH DEVON
The cottages at Thorne Farm have all been named after traditional field names and are peacefully situated at the end of a private lane, surrounded by fields and woodland and set in the rolling hills of North Devon. This small farm, where sheep, cattle and free-range hens are kept, is part of the Environmental Stewardship Scheme and is home to a wide selection of bird and animal life; barn owls, woodpeckers, swallows, deer, foxes, hares and badgers are all regular visitors. There are 2 wildlife ponds, set amidst wild flowers and woodland. Guests can enjoy exploring the farm, relax in the garden or by the pond or go for a country walk straight from their front door. Close by is the Tarka Trail which gives you many miles of safe track for walking and cycling with its fantastic estuary and forested river valley scenery. The village of Langtree, which is a pleasant 2 mile walk along narrow lanes, has a shop and a pub serving meals. The cottages are 3 miles from RHS Rosemoor which is a must for all garden lovers. Great Torrington is a 10 minute drive away and offers a range of traditional shops, pubs, cafes and Art Centre as well as the 1646 award-winning visitor attraction and the Dartington glass centre. There are many coastlines with spectacular sandy beaches to explore with Westward Ho! being within a half hour drive. Exmoor and Dartmoor are a 45 minute drive away and can both be seen from the surrounding fields. There are a wide range of attractions and places of interest to suit all ages and tastes that are within easy reach, and the owners of Thorne Farm are more than happy to advise you on these. On arrival you will be warmly welcomed with tea and homemade cakes.
