It’s Marmalade Day !!

It’s that time of the year for Marmalade Day when Seville oranges are available and you just can’t help yourself… you have to make marmalade!

Making marmalade is such a joy… filling the kitchen with a wonderful citrus aroma and your heart with the satisfaction of having a large number of jars sitting in the pantry to see you through the coming year.

It is all go at Lobhill Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast. At the end of a full day I have 28 pounds of glistening, golden coloured jars packed with chunky, bittersweet flavoured preserve waiting for my guests to enjoy.

Homemade farmhouse marmalade spread over a chunky slice of toast for breakfast and homemade jam (thanks to my Mum!) to accompany a Devon Cream Tea served in the summer house on a gentle June afternoon… enjoy !! x

Don’t forget to visit my bed and breakfast pages before you leave my website. And for those who wish to be located close to Okehampton, Launceston and Tavistock we have beautiful self catering accommodation, all within easy reach of Dartmoor.

This is a truly an outstanding Bed and Breakfast establishment which goes over what one would expect.
The proprietor Jane was so warm and welcoming and showed me to my wonderful room which had a lovely balcony over looking the Summer House and the lovely gardens and country side.
Jane advised me she was going to bring to my room some fresh milk in a flask for tea and coffee and bake some fresh biscuits which were delightful.
Also had some lovely home made fudge in the room too. Delicious.

The very large room and bathroom with bath and separate large shower wax spotlessly clean.
Plenty of plugs in the room too.

The room also had , bathrobes, hairdryer and tea and coffee facilities.

I have stayed in many bed and breakfast before however this is truly the best I have stayed in by far.

The breakfast was cooked freshly in the lovely designed kitchen/ breakfast room with all local produce and home made bread and it was presented 1st class and tasted as good as it looked . Delicious.

I cannot wait to return, however would love to stay for a week as it was so amazing.
One point to mention. The bed was so comfortable I could have stayed there till lunch time.

Thank you Jane as you have a wonderful Business which you should be very proud of.

I prefer Bed and Breakfasts than corporate hotels as the atmosphere is more friendly and personal in a Bed and Breakfast.

Lobhill Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast, I will return very soon. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality Bed and Breakfast
Thank you.
Lord John Collier.

What our customers think...

“Jane was always quick to communicate and very flexible and helpful about arrangements. The cottage was immaculate and we loved being able to range through the estate and go for a lovely walk through the woods, along the river and to the family vineyard where we learnt about producing wine and tasted delicious sparkling English wine. The countryside around is absolutely beautiful, and Tavistock has a great restaurant which Jane recommended. We really enjoyed our stay.”
