The new Ashburton Cookery School is 500 yards from our accommodation. On a nice day you may choose to walk (10 mins) or alternatively you can take our dedicated, complimentary minibus that runs everyday between the sites at 9.10am and at the end of your cookery course.

Ashburton is a picturesque Georgian market town on the edge of Dartmoor, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Surrounded by rolling green hills, ancient hedgerows and trees, you will feel you are a million miles away from the stresses of everyday life.

What's suprising is just how quickly you can be here. Well serviced by trains, and the M5 motorway, our students come from all over the country, staying overnight, for a weekend or for a full week in our B&B accommodation here at the cookery school. Find out more about our accommodation here.

The Dartmoor town of Ashburton is just off the A38 equidistant between Exeter and Plymouth. The Cookery School is centrally located in an historic building with attractive gardens and nearby parking.
