Dittisham Farm Bungalow - Home page
This holiday
accommodation is part of our farm bungalow, which was built
in 1976. We love to have people staying with us to share the peace and
beauty of this location, which is on the very edge of a rural hamlet with no
through traffic.
You will have your own en-suite accommodation, with use of the Conservatory (looking out onto our fields where there are North Devon heifers grazing) and a modern fully fitted kitchen.
The land: Our farm is 21 acres, on which we have a variety of livestock; pretty black
Berkshire show-pigs, 7 or 8 cows and calves, chickens, ducks & geese. All
livestock is kept outdoors in non-intensive conditions, far enough away from
your accommodation not to be a problem, but near enough for you to visit if you’d
like to! The whole farm is converted to ‘Soil Association’ Organic Standards. Our land is completely unsprayed by chemicals and is being set up as a
conservation area; a little haven for wildlife. We have the ubiquitous foxes and
badgers, buzzards, sparrow hawks, fieldfare, redwings etc. etc. There is an
undulating walk around the land (which you are welcome to follow as often as you
like) from the far side of which there are spectacular views across to HayTor on
Dartmoor, and out to Torquay and Torbay. Parking. If you are bringing a boat / trailer, you can enter the property with
confidence as there is plenty of room for turning. When into the grounds there
are obvious positions for unhitching, or just park inside the grounds and assess
the location on foot. Parking for solo cars is adjacent the bungalow, on the gravel drive between
the bungalow and the garden. Or you can park a few yards further down, adjacent
to the sheds. In wet weather the path can be a little muddy - you are on a
farm and it isn't all tarmac!
