    “We really enjoyed our stay at Crannacombe Farmhouse, a lovely old building with lots of quirks.”

    We especially enjoyed curling up in the lounge in the evenings on the soft sofas, must be lovely in the winter months with the woodburner roaring away. We appreciated the peacefulness of the location, it was lovely to be able to wander up the lane every evening with only the owls and red deer for company. The garden was absolutely beautiful, we enjoyed some late afternoon siesta's there just soaking in the gorgeous 'Thomas Hardy' views, with only the sounds of birds over head and the breeze ...

Sheila, the owner, was lovely, very very helpful, thank you Sheila for sharing your bit of heaven with us.

Nestled deep in the river Avon Valley on the outskirts of Loddiswell, Devon, in 80 acres of the owners land, enjoying fantastic views of the countryside and ancient woodland and a short walk through sloping fields to the River Avon is the charming 17th-century farmhouse, Crannacombe Farmhouse.

Meandering along the country lane (no through road) to the property, means you get the feeling of a peaceful and relaxed setting immediately, with the main road leading to Salcombe, Kingsbridge and lovely beaches of the South Hams.

After unloading your personal belongings, cross the threshold into the hallway of your new home-from-home to an inviting sitting room, adorned with a stylish wood burning stove and Smart TV so you can delight in some light entertainment after a long day of exploring the local area.

As the designated chef becomes acquainted with the well-equipped kitchen, boasting traditional larder cupboards and all the necessary appliances required to have a successful self-catered stay, make your way from the sitting room, through to the dining room where you can settle down to feast.

The dining room, featuring an antique table for ten, an antique Welsh dresser, and a sofa, also has access to the garden, so you can reflect on your favourite memories so far whilst planning for the days ahead around the table, or out in the luscious greenery.

Completing the ground floor is a recently redecorated shower room with WC convenient for the single bedroom and downstairs use.

Ascend to the first floor to find a further four bedrooms including two doubles with TVs (one with Victorian style en-suite bathroom) and two twins, one with wash basin the other off the double bedroom with a curtained doorway, along with a small family bathroom with a small bath, electric shower over the bath so you can get ready or wind down in style.
