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.

We have just returned from two wonderful days spent at Lobhill Farmhouse B&B. I can only echo the positive comments of all of the other reviewers. Jane and Adrian are charming people - you receive a lovely warm welcome as soon as you arrive and that continues throughout the duration of your stay: they strike the balance between being attentive but not intrusive. The lovely touches such as homemade biscuits, fudge, fresh flowers in the room and attention to detail really make this a special place to stay. Tips: take some shoes suitable for walking around their grounds and those of their family which adjoin. Visit the family vineyard to taste and - like us - buy some fabulous wines (and gins!) to take home. Thank you to all of the family members that we met during our stay.
