“Luxury and elegance make up this country house in rural Tamar Valley on the edge of Dartmoor - a peaceful stay in stunning grounds. Modern, comfortable rooms are unique in style and capture the view. Fine dining at the 2 AA Rosettes restaurant. A perfect adult retreat.”

Hotel review

Romantic small country house hotel with 16 rooms and famous restaurant. Built 150 years ago for the mine captain, when the Tamar Valley was filled with copper mines, it offers glorious views, lovely grounds, gorgeous rooms, a palpable sense of peace and great food. Rooms in the Main House are traditional, whilst those in the Garden House are more contemporary. Most rooms offer fabulous balconies and all feature ViSpring beds, bathrobes & luxury toiletries. 2015/16 awarded 4 AA Star Hotel with 2 Rosettes for fine dining.

The Horn of Plenty

"The views are superb and sunsets are particularly lovely, seen from the restaurant, terrace and several of the bedrooms."

"Why I love Devon" by Fiona Duncan.

If it’s the West Country you want, but Cornwall is too far, then Devon is the answer. Craggy coves and cream teas, surfing, hiking on Exmoor and Dartmoor and pints in pub gardens
