Nestled in the heart of Devon, between two rivers, Exe and Culm, is the village and civil Parish of Silverton. Silverton is not only large in size and population, but is one of the oldest settlements in Devon, dating back to the Saxon times and is home to a 1,000 year-old oak tree. The village is home to the essentials guests need during a self-catering holiday, including The Lamb Inn, a popular pub serving tasty meals and local ale, as well as a well-equipped convenience store. Silverton also enjoys easy access to a range of sights, with the National Trust property of Killerton, a 1778 manor house, rests a short distance south from the village, and the living museum of Coldharbour Mill resting in the east. Many picturesque towns, villages and cities can be found settled around Silverton, including the nearby, bustling city of Exeter resting on the South Devon coast. Nature enthusiasts will also be pleased by the village's close proximity to Dartmoor National Park and several Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, from the Blackdown Hills to the Quantock Hills.

However, we felt that it lacked that cosy cottage feel, particularly as the bedroom floors were not carpeted and we didn't have any control over the heating, had to call the owners to get it turned on, which they did willingly. Maybe an over-ride facility for an hour at a time would solve any issues of guests going out and leaving the heating on all day. However, once heated the cottage stayed warm with plenty of hot water. The cottage is in a farm yard down a very steep hill across a fairly bumpy cattle grid, so not suitable access for low slung sports cars. Very friendly (and damp!) farm dogs roam freely around the yard. A bit of information about the farm itself, walks, accessible areas, etc would have been useful.

Enjoyed chatting, meeting the dogs who are gorgeous and loved the bonio treats. The Cottage, is AMAZING, more than we, my husband, and I expected. Cosy comfortable and Clean. Everything we needed and more. So pretty the gardens, enjoyed our walkabout, plus seeing the rabbits early morning from back landing window. Beautiful hills around the farmyard, seeing the cows and sheep and Pete dashing on his quad bike and using his tractors. We loved the area very very much. So peaceful. Tiverton itself is great, we particularly loved the Saturday market and the coffee in the lovely cafe. Busking and lots of lovely people selling all sorts of bits. Lovely local produce too. The town is also very interesting and worth a look round. On the outskirts is Tesco and the other end Morrisons. Avoid the cafe in Morrisons very dirty everywhere. Bickleigh Mill and shops etc interesting and worth visiting. Mike and I will most definitely return again to Twyford Farm Cottage. Missing our interesting chats with Pete.!
