Todsworthy Farm Holidays – Accessible Cornish Countryside Cottages

Located in the heart of the Tamar Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Todsworthy Farm Holidays offers a tranquil countryside escape with two fully accessible self-catering cottages, The Cider Press and The Hayloft. Set on a traditional working farm, guests can enjoy the sights and sounds of rural life, surrounded by rolling fields, woodlands, and orchards teeming with wildlife. The area is home to deer, badgers, foxes, and a diverse range of bird species, including buzzards and swallows that return each summer.

Both The Cider Press and The Hayloft have been carefully designed to ensure a comfortable and inclusive stay for all visitors. The cottages feature level access throughout the ground floor, wide doorways, and spacious interiors, making them ideal for wheelchair users and those with mobility needs. Each cottage includes an accessible shower room equipped with grab rails and a fold-down seat, as well as profiling beds that can be configured as twins or a double. A selection of mobility equipment, including wheelchairs, mobile hoists, and shower chairs, is also available for hire to enhance guests’ comfort and convenience.

Todsworthy Farm has a rich history, reflected in the character of its cottages. The Cider Press was once a barn where farm workers were rewarded with cider made on-site, and although the press is no longer in operation, its original granite stone remains a charming feature in the cottage gardens. The Hayloft was historically used to store hay above a traditional shippon—a Cornish term for a cattle barn—before being converted into a warm and welcoming holiday retreat.

Beyond the farm, the Tamar Valley offers a wealth of outdoor activities and cultural experiences. Guests can explore scenic countryside walks and cycling trails, visit historic villages, or discover the region’s rich mining heritage. Nearby National Trust properties, gardens, and heritage sites provide further opportunities for exploration, making it an ideal destination for history lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.

With a commitment to accessibility and a peaceful rural setting, Todsworthy Farm Holidays provides a welcoming retreat for guests of all abilities, ensuring an enjoyable and memorable stay in the heart of Cornwall.
