Country House Hotels in Devon

Staying in a country house hotel is a fantastic way to experience Devon - and often, its history.

Devon's country house hotels are set in beautiful old manor houses or stately homes that were once private dwellings - giving you the chance to experience a small slice of life as Lord or Lady of the house.

They're usually surrounded by acres of grounds, many of which allow you to take part in some country pursuits such as shooting or riding - and a few even have their own stretches of river (and ghillie) so guests can fish. All pride themselves on their excellent food and drink - and if you're lucky some of it will come from the hotel's own grounds and kitchen garden.

What to expect from a Devon country house hotel

Quirkiness: by their very nature, country house hotels are totally unique. This is no conveyor-belt experience – you’ll experience attention to detail, unexpected finds, and little touches that you won’t find anywhere else. Some Devon country houses have secret passages and hidden rooms – ask when you’re staying there and you might get shown round!

History: most of Devon’s country house hotels have a history that’ll you’ll find fascinating. Some will have been built – or started – hundreds of years ago, and been affected by local and national historical events in some tangible way. Many will also have additions in terms of building or architecture from subsequent owners, all of which will have their own notable history.

Stories: each country house hotel has a wealth of stories that the current owners are only too happy to tell you about! From tales of hunted nobility hiding out within its walls, to spooky stories about resident ghosts and how they came to be there, make sure you investigate the hotel’s stories during your stay.

Grounds: you’ll find that most country house hotels will have lovely grounds – some extending to thousands of acres – that you’ll love exploring.

Architecture: take time during your stay to walk round the building and take in the details. Look up and you’ll often see beautiful touches that you might otherwise have missed.
