Lower Norton Farmhouse

Luxury B&B accommodation and sailing holidays in Devon can be found at Lower Norton Farmhouse. Situated between Dartmouth, Kingsbridge and Totnes in the heart of the stunning South Hams countryside.

Reached by a steep and narrow drive with high banks covered in wild flowers, Lower Norton is the perfect secluded country retreat for lovers of birdsong and complete tranquility.

A lovely Georgian building, some parts of which are over 400 years old, Lower Norton Farmhouse has undergone considerable restoration over the last few years.

The entrance hall has a wonderful old slate flagstone floor, and the dining room has a huge fireplace with the old bread oven still intact.

Close by, the ground floor bedroom probably started life as a calving pen, and its large bathroom was one of the farms' dairies, still with the meat hooks in its ancient ceiling.

The lounge has comfortable sofas, music, colour TV, books, magazines, a big open fire in winter, and a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Tea, coffee and homemade cakes are available at any time.

From the dining room French doors lead on to the covered terrace, where you can sit in easy chairs and enjoy a drink or evening meal overlooking the pond.

All in all, a wonderful location for bed and breakfast accommodation.

BREAKFAST

Breakfast time is flexible and will be any combination of fresh seasonal fruits, local fruit juices, cereals, traditional cooked breakfast with local sausages, bacon and eggs, homemade or local bread and homemade preserves.

EVENING MEAL

After a busy day out you may prefer to stay in and relax over a candlelit dinner.

Glynis is an excellent cook with many years experience.

As with breakfast, local organic produce from our farming neighbours and local fishermen is almost exclusively used.

Special diets can be catered for, and if you have a particular favourite we will be happy to create it for you.

ROOMS

Upstairs in the oldest part of the house, we found a George III penny in a pile of grain under the floor, suggesting this was originally used as a store for animal feeds.

The room is now a twin bedroom with lovely restored brass and iron beds, crisp white cotton bedding, a splendid old window, old pine furniture and en-suite shower room.

The two double bedrooms have wonderful antique kingsize beds, one Italian with ornate, delicately carved wood panels. The other is French Louis XV style with deep buttoned curved ends in pink velvet. The luxury bathrooms have large powerful showers with soft white luxury towels.
