The village of Cornworthy is just one mile away, offering The Hunters Lodge pub. A five minute drive takes you to The Maltsters, famous for being the pub that Keith Floyd owned; or the Watermans Arms - both being on the water's edge of Bow Creak and good places to enjoy a meal.
There are plenty of things to see and do in the surrounding area. The historic town of Dartmouth is just four miles away with its narrow little streets, marina, cobbled market place, boutique shops and great selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants.
The Elizabethan town of Totnes is also a popular place to visit. Steeped in history and built in an elevated position, on a hill above the River Dart, it is a thriving centre for art, music, theatre and natural health and its blend of traditional and alternative cultures make it unique.
Kingsbridge and Salcombe are on the doorstep and one of England's last great wildernesses, Dartmoor National Park, is just a short drive away. Dartmoor provides plenty of opportunities for those who enjoy walking or for those who want to explore its pretty little villages, along with good selection of local inns.
Formerly a dairy farm, the holiday cottages have been converted to a high standard from traditional stone barns and are set down a long private drive away from the road. Although not a working farm there are still animals in the fields and new born lambs can often be seen around Spring and Easter time.
At Lower Tideford Farm you have a choice of things to do - why not visit one of the wonderful Blue Flag Beaches that are nearby; enjoy an invigorating walk across Dartmoor; visit a National Trust property or simply relax and read a book whilst taking in the breathtaking views across the valley. Whatever you choose to do, this is the perfect place in which to relax and unwind.
