BED AND BREAKFAST DARTMOOR – NEW YEAR 2011 SELF CATERING PROMOTION

Filed Under (Accommodation, B&B Dartmoor, Dartmoor B&B in Devon, Dartmoor Bed and Breakfast, Dartmoor Devon holiday, Self-Catering Accommodation on Dartmoor, Teign Valley Bed and Breakfast) by Ian Corner on 16-01-2011

Orchard Barn is promoting self catering opportunites this year at an extremely reasonable rate……………at £100 per night for the whole house and all facilities for a minimum of 5 nights, this represents a real bargain.

The house was let for both Christmas and New Year……….and the plan is for Lesley and I to do a bit more traveling this year and so we’re promoting self catering via Trip Advisor and other media in order to build in short breaks throughout the year.

So if you’d still like Bed and Breakfast that’s fine, just ring or e-mail and ask and if rooms are available we’ll book you in……………if however you fancy a self catering option anytime over the year then again do contact us and float your prefered dates……….as long as it’s for a minimum of 5 nights we’ll look at it favourably and commensure with a confirmed booking , we’ll plan a short break holiday ourselves. There are just so many places we still want to go and visit, both home and abroad……….and this is a good year to do so.

So, if that floats your boats at all then do get in touch.

Cheers, Ian and Lesley

Dartmoor Bed and Breakfast – Orchard Barn B&B – Warren House Inn – Dartmoor Accommodation

Filed Under (Accommodation, B&B Dartmoor, Dartmoor B&B in Devon, Dartmoor Bed and Breakfast, Real Ale, Teign Valley Bed and Breakfast) by Ian Corner on 05-05-2010

As Lesley’s son Jamie is a boarder at Mount House School in Tavistock we find ourselves regularly driving passed The Warren House Inn on Dartmoor about halfway between home and school. It’s reputed to have an open log fire which has never been out since the pub opened in 1835 (but I know 2 highly spirited now also former Royal Marines who decided to extinguish it for a laugh some 30 odd years ago and served 2 weeks in Jankers shortly afterwards for their efforts!!!!) – but anyway it serves excellent Real Ales as you would expect, Dartmmor Bitter and Jail Ale from the nearby Princetown brewery…………..just what’s needed!!!

Awaiting opening time at The Warren House Inn

Just a bit further on at Two Bridges is another wonderful ‘Watering Hole’ this time an old coaching house and still a hotel known as The Two Bridges Hotel…again good real ales and another lovely fire (no known RM extinguishers here mind!!!) – makes going to school sound like fun for a change!!
