The Orangery

The Orangery is ideally located for exploring South Devon. Buckfastleigh has a great sense of community. Locally there’s a steam railway, a beautiful Abbey, and easy access to Totnes. There are two lovely National Trust properties near by - Agatha Christie’s Greenway and Coleton Fishacre. Vegetarians are very well catered for. The apartment is not just well equipped but also very homely with lots of indoor plants, pictures (some for sale), board games and books. Laura, our host, was very welcoming and happy to give tips on places to visit.

The Orangery is the perfect haven to spent time in this lovely part of Devon, it was clean, well-appointed and relaxing. Buckfastleigh itself has a great community spirit, the newly opened wine bar The Doe is definitely worth a visit, you can also catch the steam train to Totnes and the local health food shop has everything you’ll need. Laura is an incredibly welcoming and kind host and on hand should you need anything. She makes you feel right at home and has lots of good recommendations on where to go and what to do. Bonus is the delightful garden & being dog friendly, an enchanting place.

Laura is an exceptional host! We spent four days at the Orangery and absolutely loved it. The space is private, set apart as an annex with its own charming garden. It's very spacious, fully equipped with everything you need, and the orangery itself is a perfect spot to relax with a good book. Buckfastleigh sits on the edge of Dartmoor, and within 15 minutes, you can begin exploring the area. Dartington Hall and Totnes are also close by and worth visiting. We’ll definitely return when we're in the area!

We just returned from a delightful stay at the Orangery. Tucked away from the busy street, the accommodation was spacious and charmingly decorated with all you would need for a holiday stay. The garden is lovely - it is secluded from neighbours and the street providing privacy for dining and relaxing. Laura, the host and owner of the accommodation is very welcoming and was always available to answer questions and to provide advice on things to do and where to eat in the area. Parking available. Its location is central to many sites and Dartmoor park. I highly recommend the accomodation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Orangery. Laura was an excellent host, welcoming, helpful and informative. The accommodation was peaceful, quiet, private, comfortable and well appointed. It gave us easy access to a week of wonderful walking on Dartmoor. All in all, probably one of the most enjoyable holidays we have had in the UK. Highly recommended.

A very quiet and peaceful spot with your own walled garden. Come for wonderful walking, a steam train to bustling Totnes, grand cycling up to Dartmoor, or just for a lazy time reading and watching birds from the conservatory.
