Such a calming beautiful location in stunning grounds to come back to each evening after a dayâs sightseeing, and yet so conveniently placed for the city or any number of stunning coastal spots in East Devon. The views from the patio area are lovely looking across the fields with plenty of opportunities for spotting birds and other wildlife. The beds and sofa were comfortable (not always a given) and each bedroom had its own en-suite shower room. Highly recommended.
