Looking for a peaceful self-catering holiday on a South Devon farm, nestling in a secluded valley with beautiful views over green and rolling hills?
Four miles to historic Dartmouth, with the spectacular river Dart, the historic towns of Totnes, Kingsbridge and Salcombe, all on your doorstep?
	Dartmoor National Park, one of England's last great wildernesses, a short drive away?
Near to sandy beaches ideal for young ones, yet still be able to find that special secluded cove, an unspoiled region of dramatic coastline, walk the South West Coastal way? Do you like sailing, boating, country walks, fishing, golf; or perhaps leisure parks, a zoo, all-weather attractions for the children?
	Then Lower Tideford Farm, with its five holiday cottages converted from traditional stone barns, set round a courtyard, all within its own 30 acres of meadows, woodland and streams, may be just what you are looking for.

You will be refreshed and charmed by the delightful countryside surrounding the cottages and never tire of the countless number of pleasures within easy reach. Small enough to be totally informal, but extremely well equipped with dishwashers, microwaves, radios, colour TV's and VCR's, laundry, comfortable beds with duvets and bed linen, the cottages are ideal for those seeking a comfortable base from which to enjoy all the local amenities.
