The Pig at Combe
Honiton
‘Down country lanes and a mile-long private drive’, this Elizabethan manor house is the Miss Piggy among Robin Hutson’s quirky country house hotels (see index). Like that porcine diva, it embodies fabulosity with a dash of irresistibility and a great, big dollop of attitude.
Lewtrenchard Manor
Okehampton
In a peaceful Devon valley, this family-run historic manor house is loved for its architecture, romantic atmosphere, attention to detail and fine food.
Burgh Island Hotel

A sea tractor ferries guests across the sands to this white concrete Art Deco edifice on a tidal island, built as a party venue in the 1930s, and what a swell party it is!

Olga Polizzi’s cottage-orné with tall chimneys, verandas, gables and dormers, in an Arcadian landscape on the River Tamar, is full of flair – and of history.

On the edge of Exmoor national park, a fine Victorian merchant’s house – ‘an odd combination of Tudor and classical details’ – sits in lovely landscaped grounds that used to be a holiday park.
Paschoe House
Crediton
Hidden down a drive in remote mid-Devon, this Victorian country house and fine-dining restaurant blends modern design with original features to startling effect.
Glebe House
Colyton
‘Divine countryside views’ sweep away from Olivia and Hugo Guest’s Georgian house, on the hilltop of their 15-acre smallholding.
Lympstone Manor
Exmouth
It will be a while before guests can raise a flute of Lympstone Manor bubbly from the vineyard, but Michael Caines’s Georgian manor in parkland on the Exe estuary affords a glorious setting and a gourmet experience.
Northcote Manor Hotel & Spa
Umberleigh
Surrounded by orchards and woodland deep in the Taw valley, this wisteria-hung 18th-century manor house is a ‘very comfortable’ hideaway.

In a sheltered cove along the coast from the popular sailing resort town, this dog- and family-friendly hotel has a breezy, informal feel.
From £215 per night

The Cridford Inn
Exeter
Come down a single-track road to reach this Teign valley pub, its thatched roof, cob walls and wide stone fireplaces.

St Elizabeths House
Plymouth
In Plympton St Maurice, on the edge of the city, this Georgian manor was once a convent. Now a hotel and events venue, tranquillity remains in calming, modern bedrooms and in the surrounding nine acres of gardens and sweeping lawns. Local and regionally sourced produce appears on the restaurant’s fine dining menus: perhaps curried white crab with pea panna cotta, pink grapefruit and fresh pea shoots; Tournedos Rossini – fillet of Devon beef on crispy crouton with chicken liver parfait, dauphinoise potato, wild mushroom and baby onion jus.
