Description

Enjoy panoramic views to Dartmoor from the patio of Mandarin, one of the three newer cottages at West Banbury. The views can also be appreciated through the largely glass, south-facing wall at the front of the property. The cottage itself is particularly light and airy. The open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room includes a sofa bed (for +1).  You will find a double room upstairs (with a 6' double bed which can be made up to twin beds by prior arrangement - please let us know your preference on booking) and a spacious bathroom with a thermostatic shower over the bath.    We try to make our cottages as inviting as possible - because we want you to feel as welcome as possible.  If there's something special you'd like, please let us know and we will do our best to oblige.
Whilst we can accommodate large gatherings of family and friends who enjoy our larger cottages, we believe our smaller one-bedroom cottages are ideal for couples, or couples with a baby or young child.
The cottages are comfortable for all-year round holidays. They retain much of their character with exposed stonework and vaulted ceilings. We look after the cottages ourselves and we trust you will find them spotlessly clean and well-maintained.
All cottages have electric night storage heaters and heated towel rails by meter reading, double glazing, fridge/freezer (or separate fridge and freezer), washer/dryer, radio/CD, TV, DVD,  microwave,  garden furniture and shared barbecues.  All the kitchens are well equipped and have everything you need to prepare a children's tea or something a little fancier for the adults.
For babies and toddlers, we can supply cots, highchairs, stairgates and bed guards.
We can offer babysitting for guests at weekends and evenings. Please get in touch with us if you would like details prior to arrival.
For your convenience Asda, and now Tesco, deliver here, so please feel free to use this service, although it may be useful to let us know if you are expecting a delivery.
There’s a lot more to West Banbury than just our beautiful cottages. For the more energetic, we have an indoor swimming pool plus a games room with a pool table and table tennis.  Outside, we have a grass tennis court and a large and very popular pitch & putt - a bit of fun for all the family. If all that sounds a bit exhausting, unwind and relax in our peaceful grounds, visit the duck pond, or simply admire the wonderful views to Dartmoor.
And you won’t have to worry about the children. One of the many joys of West Banbury is that children can enjoy their freedom in safety. Car parking is away from the cottages, and with the outdoor play area, pool, pitch & putt, tennis and endless space to simply run around, there’s plenty to exhaust even the most energetic! We also have a good supply of books, games and toys for those quieter moments.
We live at West Banbury too and are always on hand, able to give advice on where to go or where to eat. We want you to enjoy your holiday to the full, and whether you’re a couple or a family with children we think you’ll find everything you need right here.
Why not relax with our beauty and pampering service? Katie and Jodie are our beauty therapists who can come to your cottage and make you feel great with the minimum of effort! Katie is BTEC NVQ Level 2 and 3 and is a member of the Guild of Professional Beauty Therapists. Her treatments include body massage, aromatherapy massage, facial, manicure, pedicure, fake tan, body contour wrap and platinum detox. Jodie M.I.C.H.T. specialises in reflexology. Great for relieving stress, this is a deeply relaxing treatment which improves circulation, cleanses the body of toxins and impurities and balances the system as a whole. Full details of the treatments on offer are in all the cottages – all you have to do is arrange a time for Katie or Jodie to come and visit you in the comfort of your own cottage. Finish off with a sauna and a dip in the pool for a truly indulgent day…
Why not try a pampering weekend? If you and a group of friends fancy a relaxing break then go no further. You tell us what you want and we’ll make all the arrangements. With the pool and sauna on site you needn’t go far.

Places of Interest

Nothing is far away from West Banbury. We are near the A30 in West Devon making getting here and exploring Devon and Cornwall easy. Whether it’s beaches, coves, beauty spots, stately homes and gardens, places of historical interest or children’s activities you want, all are easily accessible.

The rugged north Cornish coastline provides surfing beaches at Bude and Widemouth Bay (both less than 45 minutes away) while our family favourite, Crackington Haven, with its vast rock pools, is 30 minutes away. Visit Tintagel and King Arthur’s Castle (40 minutes), and take a diversion for lunch at the picturesque fishing port of Padstow, home to Rick Stein’s restaurant. The Eden Project is 45 minutes away, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan is 1 hour, both all year tourist attractions in the St Austell area. The popular south coast resorts of Polperro and Looe are also less than an hour's drive.

For children, there are numerous theme parks, indoor and outdoor activity centres, go-karting, farms and animal sanctuaries spread throughout the region

If you like walking, enjoy the coastal footpaths, or visit Dartmoor or Bodmin Moor, wonderful walking and pony trekking country. On the doorstep is the 760 acre Roadford Lake, increasingly popular for watersports, fishing and birdwatching, which has an excellent network of footpaths and cycle paths, picnic areas, tea room and gift shop. Fly fishing for brown trout is available and there is a launch site for sailing dinghies. Sailing and wind surfing courses are also available and bird watching hides are situated around the lake.

Horse riding, coarse and fly fishing, sailing and 18 hole golf courses are all on the doorstep. If you have a particular sporting interest let us know and we can make bookings for you even before you've got here, making everything easy for you. We can recommend local sporting places to suit most people.

The National Trust’s Lanhydrock, Castle Drogo, Cotehele and Buckland Abbey are all within 25 miles. The charming market towns of Launceston, Tavistock and Okehampton are all nearby, Launceston only 10 minutes by car.

There is a good selection of pubs, restaurants and cafes, providing an excellent choice for all budgets, all within 15 minutes of West Banbury, with the closest pubs less than 10 minutes away.

From J31 of the M5 motorway, take the A30 heading towards Okehampton and Launceston.

Follow the A30 for about 36 miles and exit at Broadwoodwidger, Bratton Clovelly and Roadford Lake, about 13 miles after Okehampton.

At the T-junction turn right over the bridge. Stay on this road, ignoring the turning for Broadwoodwidger, and West Banbury is at the top of the hill, about 1 mile on the right.
