Local Area
Torridge House Cottages are tucked away on the edge of the tiny village of Little Torrington in Torridge, mid/north Devon.
The cottages, gardens and grounds are surrounded by fields and private woodland to which there is no public access – a peaceful, quiet setting. In term time, families relish the joy of this: the setting, the toys, hands-on involvement with a wide selection of rabbits, guineas, mice, chickens, ducks and little pigs, and wide open gardens and grounds.
