About Puddleduck Valley

ABOUT US

The stress of everyday life falls away. Here you’ll sleep soundly and relax into the natural rhythm of Devon where life is lived at a slower pace.

Perfectly located halfway between the rugged tors of Dartmoor and the sandy beaches of North Cornwall, Puddleduck Valley is the perfect location. We have a tiny farm set in the rolling hills and lush valleys of Torridge. On site we have 7 acres of gardens, meadows, woodland and streams ideal for peace and relaxing. Right next door is National Trust Dunsland and The Forestry Commission woods giving you another 250 acres of quintessentially English parkland and woodland to explore.

Take a 20-minute drive to Dartmoor and you have the best tors to scale, incredible trekking, stunning views and fantastic cycle routes to enjoy. 20 minutes in the opposite direction brings you to Bude with Sandy beaches and the obligatory Cornish ice cream. Ask us about the secret spots and we’ll tell you of undiscovered beaches and a deserted coastline perfect for a picnic or perhaps even surfing?

Puddleduck Valley is run by Melanie & Phil Thompson along with help from daughters Heidi & Abigail. We’re passionate about the environment and consider ourselves stewards rather than owners of our land. Everything we do is permeated with the desire to create a better environment for the benefit of our local biosphere, from flora & fauna to fungi & lichens. Phil is originally from Scarborough in Yorkshire, the outdoors type with a love of wildflowers and anything environmental. Melanie, originally from Thame in Oxfordshire has a real love of animals, craft & art has passed on these passions to both of our girls.

 

We’re proud of what we have created, what we do and would love to share it with you. We offer a fabulous welcome and fantastic service. We look forward to welcoming you to share in our little slice of heaven.
