Latest addition to West Pitt Farm, the Cider Press, was completed in June 2012.  This super newly converted barn sleeps 2-4.  With stunning views across the Culm Valley from large picture windows, excellent facilities including a woodburner, this cottage is perfect for a couple or a familiy with one or two small children.

Aiming for self-sufficiency

Aiming for self-sufficiency

Saturday 20th November 2010

Looking for a greener holiday in the heart of Devon but expecting quality accommodation and facilities, West Pitt Farm may be the holiday for you. We are producing our own electricity following installation in October 2010 of an 11kw wind turbine set on the hilltop about 500 yards from the cottages. It should provide sufficient power to make our heated swimming pool carbon neutral. Future projects should allow West Pitt to become self-sufficient for all its electricity. Our new cottages are insulated and equipped to Carbon Lite standards, far in advance of current building regulations. Low energy lighting thoughout. Our water comes from our own borehole and wastewater is treated and returned to the ground via soak-aways. Find out more about our cottages and environment on the website pages.
