Arno Nel recently produced an aerial video of Lobhill Farmhouse Estate. It offers a bird’s eye view of the farmhouse and surrounding area. He even launched his “drone” from the woodland area and flew up to the trees and above. The video highlights how beautiful the countryside is here in West Devon. You can even see the bank where we go sledging in Winter!
I hope you enjoy this video and many thanks to Arno for his production.
The Bluebell Walk on Sunday 17th May 2015 at Lobhill Farmhouse, Alder Vineyard and Alder Farm raised almost £900.00 for St. Peter’s Church, Lewtrenchard.
Visitors walked from Alder Farm through Alder Vineyard with a tour guide and stopped at Lobhill Farmhouse for a glass of Alder wine.
It was a fabulous day and the weather was kind to us with 80 tickets sold.
Many enjoyed the new season Alder Wine which was superb and over 80 cream teas were served (and a slice of homemade cake).
Many old friends, family and local people attended from far away to see the progress Alder Vineyard is making. Thanks to everyone who helped and to each and every one of you who attended. I’m looking forward to the walk next year (although I’m lucky to be able to stroll through the wood on a regular basis).

Sitting at my office table checking my bookings I had a surprise…. two beautiful, inquisitive Roe deer visting in the garden at Lobhill Farmhouse. They both revisited the next day.
Roe deer are often seen on the estate and that same day a dozen large Red deer were seen close to Alder lake. While I sit here writing this piece I am watching the birds feeding outside and I look forward to Spring. The estate has something to offer through all seasons, the snowdrops are out and the daffodils will soon be shooting.
We stayed at lobhill farm for 2 nights. From the moment we arrived we knew we’d found an absolute gem. The farmhouse is set in peaceful, well maintained grounds with beautiful views and ample parking. Jane was warm and welcoming and there is nothing she’d not thought about. The rooms were stunning, with tasteful decoration and were quite simply spotless. They take clean to a whole new level! There was fresh milk available for us to make a drink and chilled water. The choice of tea in the rooms was vast and the homemade fudge a real treat! Jane clearly has a hood eye for detail. The beds were very comfortable and you a guaranteed a great nights sleep. There is a good selection of locally sourced food for a cooked breakfast (Jane is an excellent cook too) which you eat in the large farmhouse kitchen. This gives you a real sense of ‘home’ and relaxation. I could have stayed there all day.
The photos do not do the rooms justice. The rooms are beautiful and large with comfy beds. Just what you need for a good nights sleep. There is plenty of storage and everything is spotless. The en-suites are spacious with towels and all you need provided. Thank you Jane. We will definitely be back.
