Dippers and Daffs – ornathologists and horticulturists alike

Filed Under (Dartmoor Bed and Breakfast) by Ian Corner on 06-03-2011

It’s wonderful to note that guests are booking in to come and see both the ‘Dippers’ flying about and hunting on the River Teign with their distinct gizz and bob as they watch and wait for their next meal to float/swim/crawl past ……………..and others who’ve planned a variety of  walks along the river bank to see the marvel of Daffs, a short stemmed local variety with a charm of their own.

Edge of Dunsford’s famous stepping Stones across the River Teign

Filed Under (Dartmoor Bed and Breakfast) by Ian Corner on 05-03-2011

Lesley has helped me launch into the world of Trip Advisor promotion to assist Orchard Barn in both the Exeter and Dartmoor fields of e-finding me!!

It’s an exciting time as we’ve already had 5 or 6 enquiries since we started……..so it bodes well for our ‘Get Away’ ourselves plan!! Fingers Crossed.

And the Daffs are starting to come out again………………..it’s pure magic!!!!

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
