About Yarde Orchard Café
Tucked beside the Tarka Trail near Great Torrington, Yarde Orchard Café is a small, peaceful wild-style site that's won fans for its friendly welcome, proper home-cooked food and spotless facilities. You'll park in the adjacent public car park (free) and wheel your gear over on the provided trolleys – no vehicles on the pitches themselves. Once settled on your non-electric grass pitch, you can order breakfast or evening meals from the café (lasagna and curry get especially good reviews), fuel up on excellent cake and coffee, then head straight out onto one of the UK's finest off-road trails for cycling or walking.
The bunkhouse accommodation offers budget-friendly comfort if you fancy a roof overhead, and the whole setup feels genuinely welcoming to families, walkers, cyclists and groups alike. Great Torrington's shops and pubs are five minutes by car, the north Devon coast half an hour, and renewable energy keeps things green. Note that dogs aren't allowed, so plan accordingly.

What visitors say
We stopped at the cafe only recommended by our bike hire. It was a welcome stop after 10 miles scenic ride. Super friendly service i took home sone souvenir Devon cider. Food could be better odd salad dressing I had cheese salad was surprised it was grated lost its flavour. Pizza baguette had v little peperoni. Otherwise super pretty stop.

We only visited the cafe. The coffee was awesome, truly out of this world! The staff were friendly, pleasant and efficient. The location was beautiful, and cool on a hot day. You really felt like you were at a cafe in the woods! It was great that you got extras with the breakfast baguettes, salad and crisps. The breakfast was ok, not the best. The bacon was lacking in any flavour. We will definitely be back, but more for the coffee, location and the lovely staff.

We walked out to this place on the Tarka trail, about three miles in total. By the time we got there we were ready for some refreshments. It's a quirky little place and the staff are helpful and friendly and our coffee and cake were delicious. We will be going back soon.

What an amazing find! Wet and cold, we were welcomed in and sat by a lovely log burner-wonderful tea and cakes and such lovely people! They made us so welcome and the service was great. We sat and chatted and they even let us wait in the warm after closing for our lift! Will certainly visit again! Thank you so much.
