Reopened in July 2025 after a £3 million refurbishment for the Original Collection, this extraordinary ‘Jacobean’ manor house is largely a Victorian creation. The work of the eccentric squire, parson, novelist and hagiographer Sabine Baring-Gould, it incorporates Renaissance woodwork, frieze paintings, chimneypieces and ornate plasterwork rescued from historic properties, to impressive effect. Country-house-bedrooms with updated bathrooms, ranging from snug doubles to spacious with super-king four-poster, are set across the main house, folly and courtyard. They overlook landscaped gardens and the Devon countryside. Dine either from a tasting menu or a la carte in Origin on dishes such as day-boat halibut, charred garden courgettes, lobster and lemon verbena sauce. Light bites are also available in the dog-friendly bar.
