Push open the broad oak door of this magnificent country hotel to find yourself in the elegant Great Hall where a huge blazing log fire awaits you. As you step into the warmth, luxury and tranquillity of this comfortable country family home, you cannot fail to notice the uniquely informal and relaxed atmosphere - there's a cosy bar and welcoming sitting rooms with squashy curl-up-and-read-a-book sofas. The House is principally Elizabethan - all gables, finials and transom windows.

The entrance hall is a fine example of the Caroline Grandeur of the 1600's, the essence of a real English country house, with carved oak panelling and original 18th century family portraits. Wonderful arrangements of fresh scented flowers adom on treasured antique tables and bookcases. At night, ascend the grand staircase to one of 15 ensuite bedrooms, each exuding its own warmth, luxury and spacious charm. All rooms have their own individuality with stylish furnishings and fine antiques and many command truly breathtaking views across the woods, meadows, Devon countryside and Dartmoor beyond.
