Cann Orchard is situated on the outskirts of the popular North Coast resort of Bude , down a wandering country road, made more poignant because it was the route taken by the Royalist when they marched on Oliver Cromwell and his army at the famous battle of Stamford Hill, in the Civil War of the 16th Century. It is a well-known fact that the Royalist Commander, Sir Ralph Hopton, spent the night prior to the battle in Cann Orchard house. The battle is re-enacted every May by the “Sealed Knot Society” at the battle site in Stratton – a most remarkable weekend for both young and old.
Cann Orchard, is a lovely old listed farmhouse, that is mentioned in the Doomesday Book. It is nestled in most beautiful gardens and orchards which extend to four acres. Relax in the orchards under apple, pear or plum trees. Take in the tranquillity of the lake, while you watch the moorhens and wild ducks in and around its banks or simply bask in the south-facing gardens, surrounded by camellias, old oak and chestnut trees.
The farmhouse, Cann Orchard, has been little disturbed by time. It is a true escape from the modern day bustle of life, yet very close to all amenities.
