Gardener's Cottage is a single bedroom retreat on a working dairy farm near Bideford, four miles from the north Devon coast. It suits couples looking for a quieter break in countryside that feels genuinely remote. The whole property is yours alone, with a king bed upstairs, a ground-floor living space heated by woodburner and underfloor heating, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking. There's a courtyard garden with seating, parking for two cars, and Wi-Fi if you need it.
Essentials like bed linen, towels and heating are included, along with logs for the woodburner and a welcome pack. A travel cot and highchair can be arranged if needed. The 200-acre grounds are shared with other properties on the farm, and you're welcome to walk where the owners advise—though access depends on the cattle. The solar water heating system means hot water even in winter. One dog is welcome to stay. Smoking is not permitted inside.

What guests say
Someone turned the world off when you stay here. Peace and quiet surrounded by beautiful countryside and the most friendliest of hosts. It's on a working farm so don't start whingeing because the cows woke you up and it smells, just be thankful that there are still places like this. Get greeted by the farm dogs, unpack into well stocked, comfortable cottage and settle in by the log burner on comfy leather setee, glass of vino and unwind. We stayed in most days, not because of the weather, but to soak up the peace and quiet and unwind, magic. One of the best cottages we have stayed in👍👍👍

We stayed for a wonderful week in Gardeners cottage and can't wait to come back. Greeted with fresh farm milk and homemade cookies and really beautiful, comfortable accommodation. The wood burner was brilliant (logs provided) and kept us warm and cosy in the cold February evenings and the cottage with central heating was again very comfortable and furnished with everything you could need for a relaxing holiday. Orchard Farm is a perfect, peaceful place to explore North Devon/Cornwall or relax in beautiful peaceful surroundings. Great pub with good food in nearby Monkleigh and the Farm owners Les and Sue are wonderful hosts and there if you need anything. We will miss Max the dog and the farm cats who are very friendly and want lots of cuddles. Thank you for such a lovely break. Its very much appreciated

Fantastic place to stay. Clean rooms and friendly owners. Had a power cut due to the storm, but got supplied with plenty of candles and wood for the fire. Also was offered alternative accommodation if the poer cut continued but we enjoyed the atmosphere. Power came back after 24hours which was good, but we were told we could have had a refund if power cut did continue. Very reasonable
