There’s always something to do at Torridge House Cottages and you’re not far away from other activities and action. Good food, sandy beaches, surfing, cycling, potting, massages, family attractions such as The Big Sheep & The Milky Way. Wonderful gardens, RHS Rosemoor is very close by, as is the Tarka Trail and Dartington Crystal is 2 miles.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We spent a week at Torridge House Cottages. It was our first visit but will not be our last. My boys absolutely loved the freedom this location has. They were able to play and go and help with all the animals twice a day. There's always job to do! The swimming pool was also a hit. On top of this, there are playrooms with toys for all ages. Laura and Barbara were fantastic hosts. They have thought of everything for a perfect family holiday.

We stayed for five nights in Stag cottage, with our 3.5 year old. The pre arrival information and instructions were excellent, as was the lovely warm welcome we received from Laura and Barbara. Our little boy really enjoyed feeding the animals (pigs, chickens, ducks, guinea pigs, rabbits etc etc) and helping to put them away. This happens twice a day, so there's plenty of chances to help. Make sure you take wellies and a splash suit! My wife was very keen to use the swimming pool, and they made sure it was ready for us - when it was sunny we enjoyed a couple of lovely swims. There's a nice little splash pool at one end which our boy enjoyed. Lots of slides, tractors and cars to ride - and a lovely mini football pitch as well. The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed - from dishwasher tablets, to pegs for the line, and for barbeques. And there's LOTS of freshly laid eggs to eat as well. Thank you for a much needed relaxing stay.

Just spent a week here... internet good enough for kids to carry on with their schoolwork, safe enough for them to wonder off and explore alone. Great place for children to learn about animal care. Swimming pool is a bonus! I’m going home with my batteries fully charged! Fantastic place and I will be coming back soon!

My 9 and 6 year old daughters loved helping look after the baby animals on the farm, even when we were out for the day, they kept asking when we could go back to the farm to see the animals. There were baby guinea pigs, rabbits, cats and more mice than I could count. We stayed in Courtyard cottage which was a little separate from the others but was spacious and well equipped. Barbara and Laura were always on hand to help out and supervise and Alana who looks after the animals was so good at letting the girls feel part of things. The local scenery is beautiful and we had some lovely days out in the local area.

We had the best time ever at Torridge House. Barbara and Laura are both so lovely, accommodating and relaxed and also just so helpful with local tips and advice and they really went above and beyond to make our stay with kids and friends as easy as possible and all the while keeping us safe in regards to COVID restrictions. They recommended some great beaches and restaurants which we appreciated! The kids had an absolute field day on the farm. There was LOADS to keep them entertained from the animal feeding, to ride ons and climbing frames/swings to toys and a football field but most importantly just SPACE to run around. The houses were beautifully clean, very spacious and so comfortable. We stayed in a cottage right next to our friends so we could have BBQs just outside in the evenings with our baby monitors on the table. Very peaceful there in the evenings and the sunsets and sunrises were beautiful from Stag and Hen Cottages. We are absolutely going back as soon as they will have us. This is our new favourite place. What a gem.

We had a fabulous time in Hen cottage. This place is really special. We spent an hour every morning and evening feeding and cuddling the animals. This is perfect for young children, in fact for 'children' of all ages. The cottages are warm, clean, tidy and well equipped. It's a very family friendly place with plenty of outdoor toys for the children. There are also a couple of indoor games rooms. We've been several times before and we will return.

Fantastic week spent in Duck Cottage. Well equipped and spacious for 3 generations of our family, there is a large lounge and another smaller one at the top of the stairs of you want peace. Lots of outside toys for the little ones and adults and social distancing has been brilliantly thought out. Feeding of the animals was the main event twice a day and the little ones loved it, and most of the adults too. Very quiet peaceful location in the countryside with loads of space to run around and play games but close enough to some lovely towns and villages and the coast. This place will not disappoint, its a hidden gem. Booked again for next year which is the first time I have ever been back to a holiday destination twice. Highly recommend

We stayed in Stag Cottage for 4 nights and a great time. We took our 2 year old son who really enjoyed feeding the animals every morning. The cottage was very spacious and a cot / high chair had already been set up for us. Also plenty of toys left out in our garden for our son to enjoy. The family have made very good arrangements to allow for social distancing (there’s plenty of space!). Private pool hourly bookings the day before / on the day worked very well too. Plenty of places to drive out to from the cottage. We went to Woolacombe Beach one day (40 minute drive) which worked out well as son could nap in the car on the way there. Other days went to Appledore / Westward Ho! Which were 20 minutes away. Overall great stay and would not hesitate to recommend / come back again.

We have just had a marvellous week in Duck Cottage at Torridge House cottages. Everything was so lovely, and organised to help with social distancing. Barbara and family worked so hard to make our visit relaxing and fun. The children loved feeding and handling the animals. The cottage was enormous and spotless.
