We are on the edge of the tiny village of Little Torrington overlooking the delightful RHS Rosemoor Gardens. Because the grounds and eight of the nine cottages are surrounded by fields and private woodland to which there is no public access, the cottages are in a very private setting.
Many well-known novels are set in this part of Devon including Tarka the Otter, Westward Ho!, Ann Cleeves’ detective series, Simon, The Secret of Crickley Hall and of course War Horse. This is indeed War Horse Country and the site of the 1646 Civil War battle of Torrington.
