Dupath Farm, Callington

On Dupath Farm all animals are reared in a semi-organic system, using clover to reduce the need for artificial fertilisers. This helps to maintain a natural ecological balance of the soil.All the animals are slaughtered locally, minimising any stress to the animal. The meat is then cured in the traditional way in order to accentuate the natural flavours.

The Coombe family has owned the farm since 1947, and it is now run by Peter and his son, Adrian, with the help of one full-time employee plus part time staff at harvest time.The farm is 1 mile from Callington, population 5,000, and 15 miles from the city of Plymouth. This was formerly a tin mining area and the ruins of many of the engine houses can still be seen.

Dupath farmhouse is approximately 250 years old and, although just over a mile from the centre of Callington and about 1/4 mile from the main road, it is set in the quiet of the coutryside.We have two letting rooms available.

The spacious family room has a double bed and 2 single beds and a view of our farmland, often complete with livestock, and Dartmoor in the distance.The twin/double room is also large and looks towards Kit Hill, a local monument set in the Countryside Park.Outside the house there is ample parking room for any type of vehicle - we have even had a helicopter here!.
