    Facilities were good in property but the stairs were a problem for my partner as she has arthritis and her mobility is poor. Also having to come downstairs during the night to use the toilet/bathroom was an issue.

    It was peaceful, quiet and had everything we needed. The wood burner was an added bonus. It was so cosy. TJ has made it feel like a real home away from home. The added snacks and coffee were very much appreciated.

    The cottage is lovely and walking up through the gardens felt like a little fairy passage, which was just lovely! We wish we had more time to enjoy the cottage and gardens it self, unfortunately we were all quite busy!

    The whole experience starts from walking up the path which winds through the interesting garden. This is the perfect Hermitage where I got away from my routine working week to unwind. I only watched TV once so that’s a good thing. Everything I...

    We loved all the little features and games. My kids (3 year old twins) particularly liked that it was like a secret garden.

The Hermitage is a 1 bedroomed self contained annex. Formally used as a glove factory in the 19th Century, the Hermitage was recently renovated to provide accommodation with a ground floor wet room, kitchen and lounge with multi fuel burner, which we will supply over load of logs per stay for. The Hermitage has Sky tv, Netflix and fast wifi.
As the main house is attached, we will be available if you have any questions.
Torrington is a lovely little market town in the centre of the countryside. It is surrounded by 365 acres of common land which is beautiful for walking. The town has small local shops as well as a pannier market, The Plough theatre and cinema, swimming pool and Dartington Crystal. The Tarka Trail cycle path is a 3 minute drive which provides over 30 miles of almost flat cycling interspersed with cafes. There is also a cycle hire. The gorgeous beach at Westward Ho! is only a 30 minute drive and Dartmoor is only a 35 minute drive. RHS garden Rosemoor is a 3 minute drive. Our house is situated next to the Royal Exchange public house so perfect if you fancy a local ale or delicious home made pub food. There is a bus from Torrington that runs regularly to Bideford and Barnstaple.
