Country House Hotel in Devon

Hidden away in a wooded hollow just beneath the wild tors of Dartmoor, Lewtrenchard is a country house virtually untouched by time. The original manor was mentioned in the Domesday Book, but today’s impressive Jacobean dwelling, set in its own shrub filled gardens and surrounded by peaceful parkland, dates from the early 1600’s.

This beautiful country house hotel, steeped in history, is large enough to be imposing, yet not so grand as to be unwelcoming. Stepping over the ancient slate floor in the impressive hallway one immediately feels very much at home.

Each of the historic hotel bedrooms has its own unique character, they all have the same welcoming touches – freshly cut flowers from the gardens, luxuriously soft towelling robes, bowls of fresh fruit and irresistible plates of home made shortbreads, peanut cookies and white chocolate biscuits. As much private living rooms as bedrooms, they provide the perfect setting in which to totally unwind, enjoy a lengthy bath or savour a leisurely breakfast.

Extending over several acres, the glorious gardens feature streams and ponds, fountains and statuary, sunken lawns and a profusion of shrubs, plus a huge rustic dovecote and a recently restored walled vegetable garden, where the chefs often gather fresh produce for their menus.

Designed by Walter Sorel, with obvious influences from Gertrude Jekyll who actually designed part of the gardens, they are some of the finest Devon gardens and are part of the National Gardens Scheme. Extending over several acres they feature streams and ponds, fountains and statuary, sunken lawns and a profusion of shrubs, plus a huge rustic dovecote and a recently restored walled vegetable garden.

The parkland includes “Madam’s Walk”, an avenue of splendid Beech trees, as well as walks around the heavily wooded lake and along the banks of the River Lew. Trout fishing, clay pigeon shooting, and hawk walking are all available on the estate of this delightful country house hotel, plus there is a croquet lawn. Excellent horse riding is available on Dartmoor and there’s rough shooting nearby. So whether you want to smell the roses, walk off a good lunch, or catch your supper, this country house hotel in Devon offers you a discerning choice.
