“Super luxurious and pampering Dartmoor retreat, on 107 acres of mature grounds. The plush rooms come with antique furnishings, original art and huge sash windows. The Michelin stared food is served in an atmospheric and grandiose dining room. Peaceful, restful and totally heavenly.”

Hotel Review

A deeply secluded setting in 107 acres of magnificent grounds makes this luxurious Arts and Crafts house the perfect escape from the hurly-burly. With a change of ownership and thorough refurbishment, its stylish yet countrified rooms are furnished with antiques, fine English fabrics, and the latest technology. Executive Chef Michael Wignall retains two Michelin stars for his inspired cooking. Impeccable service and inspiring views, all in all, a treat.

"Why I loveDevon" 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.
