5b7ae467-5a06-4334-9727-77a0156c9822
Dornafield is a historic fifteenth century farmstead, nestled in a picturesque valley in 30 acres of glorious Devon countryside. Many of the old buildings are still in use and now house the games room, reception and shop, which offers a full selection of fresh and local produce. There is also an information room, which is full of suggestions for walks, dog-friendly beaches, the best places to eat and drink, etc. These buildings make up the focal point of the site along with the fourteenth century farmhouse, which was one besieged by roundheads in the Civil War! There are some lovely views from the site along with surrounding woodlands and rolling fields.
