Mobility for those requiring Disabled Access
My name is Jonathan and as I am someone with mobility needs, I realised how difficult it was for those with similar needs to find suitable accommodation in Cornwall and Devon. As a very independent person, I felt it essential that the accommodation we created should help make our guests own independence to be one of our main priorities. We also understand that guests without mobility issues are also keen to enjoy the tranquillity and comfort available at Todsworthy Farm Holidays.
We believe we have created two cottages that meet everybody’s needs without compromising comfort or quality. Our two cottages provide a natural environment where guests of all physical abilities can feel at home and totally relaxed.

The Cider Press easily exceeds grade M2
This level is officially described as follows: "Mobility Level 2: Typically suitable for a person with restricted walking ability and for those that may need to use a wheelchair some of the time and can negotiate a maximum of three steps."
In reality we feel an independent wheelchair user would have no problem with The facilities provided in The Cider Press with its wet room and level ground floor with no steps to contend with.
The Hayloft is graded as M3
This is officially described as follows: "Mobility Level 3 Assisted: Typically suitable for a person who depends on the use of a wheelchair in a seated position. This person also requires personal or mechanical assistance (e.g. carer, hoist)."
Again we have exceeded many of the stipulated standards to meet the M3 grade with level floors, ease of access and facilities.

About Todsworthy Farm
Todsworthy Farm is a mixed enterprise of 70 acres. A family farm, where you will find cows with their calves, sheep and even a few pigs.
There is a varied landscape of woods and fields and orchards with an abundance of wildlife including badgers, deer, foxes and rabbits. This natural environment is also home to a wide variety of birdlife found throughout The Tamar Valley. Buzzards are often seen flying high calling to each other and we are always pleased to see the arrival of swallows and house martins, a sure sign that summer has arrived. In the evening you will be serenaded by thrushes singing from the treetops to add to the tranquil atmosphere that is Todsworthy Farm.
