Location
Situated in the unspoiled North Devon countryside, nestled between Exmoor and Dartmoor. Set in 5 acres of landscaped gardens and 14 acres of river meadows.
Devonshire House The South West
Traditional with a contemporary twist
If you are looking for time away where you can get the best of all worlds, look no further than Devon. This 19th century luxury accommodation has it all. Set in the middle of North Devon’s beautiful countryside, the house lies on the outskirts of the village of Chulmleigh so you have pubs, restaurants, the golf club and the church all an easy stroll away. In one direction you have the fantastic city of Exeter and in the other, North Devon’s celebrated coastline, each only a 45-minute car drive away.
Devonshire House, built in 1826, has retained the style and charm of the original design but with today’s panache and comforts (we love the superb range of lovingly selected arts and crafts). With ten beautiful bedrooms (eight of which have en-suite bathrooms), the house can sleep up to 20 guests. There are two reception rooms, an elegant dining area seating 18, and a fully equipped kitchen with a large table that seats an additional 8. The courtyard includes a yoga studio, well-equipped gym and gentlemen’s snooker room. Oh, and don’t forget the solar-heated swimming pool, infrared sauna, tennis court and croquet lawn.
