Orchard Cottage is one of four cottages which were redundant stone barns and have now been carefully converted into charming comfortable holiday homes. Oldaport is steeped in history. The farmhouse is believed to be of early 17th century origin and represents a good example of a cross-passage farmhouse. It stands where much earlier houses are known to have stood, including one mentioned in the Domesday Book owned by the de la Porte family. Adjoining the house and buildings are remains of ancient fortifications which commands two valleys. This dates back in part, it is thought to Roman times, the remainder being probably of Saxon origin.The name Oldaport is thought to be derived from this old fort but with water on both sides of this spur of land old port is equally feasible
Suitable for two, Ochard Cottage is detached, single storey and has a large living room with a galley kitchen, bathroom with shower over bath/WC and double bedroom with door to its own small patio area. There is a futon bed settee in the lounge for two if required. ETC 4 Star
Oldaport is a small grass farm of seventy acres, being the home of the Courtney Flock of Pedigree Lleyn sheep and the Oldaport Miniature Shetland Pony Stud. It lies in a delightful secluded valley beside the beautiful Erme estuary, its abundance of bird life-a real haven for the ornithologist and nature lover. The totally unspoilt Wonwell Beach is one and a half miles away, ideal for windsurfing, fishing and bathing. Salcombe, Kingsbridge, and Newton Ferrers are renowned sailing centres and there are several golf courses with in a few miles.
