  • "Our family (2 adults, 2 teenage daughters and a labrador) stayed at Little Orchard for a week during Oct Half Term and could not have been happier."

    The property was clean, well-equipped and perfect for our needs. The weather was wet and windy (as expected for this time of year) so the log burner was great for warming up after soggy walks on the moors. Although the heating kept the place nice and cosy anyway. Although Little Orchard is slightly off the beaten track we still found the location ideal for exploring Dartmoor, the coast and local towns. Highly Recommended!

    Thank you for your comments. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay even though the weather wasn't too kind and would love to see you return some time. Property Owner

    Gill and Gerald were the perfect hosts and it was a lovely touch to be given homemade scones, jam, cream & eggs on arrival. We loved having cuddles with their friendly dog Flynn too! Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

    The property's facilities are second to none, the furnishings are very tastefully done. The hosts, Gill and Gerald are a lovely couple and will do everything possible to make your stay welcoming and enjoyable. You are only 2 miles from Dartmoor and 15 miles from Torbay.

    Thank you for your kind comments. So glad you liked the cottage and surrounding area. Property Owner

    This is the best equipped and cleanest property we have ever stayed in and the only one to provide hand towels in the kitchen. Well done, Gill. In a quiet farmland region, a perfect place for a relaxing holiday. A lovely area to explore with lots to do and great scenery to enjoy.

    The accommodation was faultless and Gill and Gerald had thought of everything you and your dog may need. The location was fabulous and we loved hearing and observing life on the farm. It was without doubt the best holiday let we have stayed in and we would love to return in the future.

  • "Probably the best property we have stayed in."

    Clean and comfortable. Best bed ever ! Soft towels and carpets, comfy sofa, well equipped. Great power shower. Wonderful garden which is completely secure even for a small dog. Split level is fabulous and it's so nice to be able to open the bedroom patio doors onto the top terrace.The property is next door to the owners' but is private and you don't feel intruded upon. It's also surprisingly quiet to say you're on a working farm.Their dogs may visit but that was never an issue. If you have a dog there's every reason to stay here. You are straight out onto a lovely walk. This property is a cut above with lots of nice touches. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend these hosts and this gorgeous property.

    Thank you Tracey for such great feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "Little Orchard is the most well equipped and tastefully presented cottage we have stayed in."

    It lies in lovely valley with views towards Dartmoor with no light pollution or traffic noise. A place to relax and recharge mind, body and soul. Gerald and Gill are delightful and helpful and a lovely touch was a dog tag which read 'on holiday' with tel. no. for Wink's collar in case he got lost. Many thanks. We will visit again.

  • "We can not rate this property enough."

    Set in a beautiful picturesque location, that is so peaceful and quiet you can only hear the local farm animals. We were greeted on arrival by the owner Gill and her two gorgeous farm dogs, when we entered the cottage we were blown away by how beautiful it was inside, we were left scones, eggs, tea and coffee and even some treats for our own dog Chester. It has everything and more in my eyes. Open plan downstairs, including kitchen, dining and sitting room, upstairs two beautifully decorated rooms, each with their own bathroom. Then off the main bedroom, doors lead out to a patio area with gorgeous views. You can access the lower garden via here and also from the kitchen and there are some stairs that lead down to the front of the property too. It is a perfect base to then venture out and explore more of Devon, but you can then come back and relax in tranquility. My mum, myself and Chester had a wonderful stay xx

    Thank you Rachael for such lovely feedback. It was a pleasure to meet you, Sheila and Chester and to hear you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

  • "How very nice of Gill the owner, to come to meet us as we got a bit lost and we were delighted to be told that we were the first guests to christen this most lovely cottage."

    A lot of thought and attention to detail went into the creation of this cottage and it has been tastefully finished, with old world charm and all mod cons. The scones and clotted cream were a delicious treat and also Bruno the dog was made to feel welcome with his little treats too. Gill and hubby were working hard on the farm but had time to check on us and made us feel very welcome. A beautiful setting and next to the amazing Dartmoor National Park, and lots of lovely little villages to visit in this most beautiful part of the world. A splendid time was had and we hope to return soon.

    Thank you for your kind comments. It was great to meet you both and we would love to welcome you back another time. Property Owner

About the location

ASHBURTON

Newton Abbot 8 miles; Torquay 17 miles; Plymouth 25 miles

The ancient Stannary town of Ashburton lies on the southern slopes of Dartmoor and is an ideal spot from which to explore the rugged high moors to the North and a beautiful coastline to the South. The scenery in this area of South Devon is glorious in all weathers and offers visitors opportunities for walking, pony trekking, canoeing, fishing and lazing on the beach. Ashburton has some interesting artisan shops and with its interesting history and museum, has built a reputation for its high standard of antiques and fine collectables outlets. It also has lovely tea rooms, a wine bar and a fantastic food deli providing fresh fish and olives. In the surrounding area, Dartmoor has many picturesque villages and hamlets with old thatched cottages and ancient churches, surrounded by a patchwork of fields and woodland. Lustleigh, North Bovey, Chagford and Widecombe- in- the- Moor are fine examples. The attractive seaside town of Teignmouth is a half hour drive and the popular Blackpool Sands, although a little further down the coast, is one of South Devon's most beautiful natural treasures. An award-winning privately managed 'Blue Flag' family beach with turquoise blue sea giving it an almost Mediterranean feel. So whether it is moor or coast that you’re seeking for your getaway, Ashburton is a really central town from which to be based.
