Georgian Grandeur with a Homely Touch
The Yellow Lounge
A light-filled drawing room that balances elegance with comfort. With high ceilings, sparkling chandeliers, and deep sofas, this is the perfect space for your guests to unwind with a drink in hand. Tall arched windows flood the room with light and offer relaxing views across the grounds.
A Room Rich in History and Character
The Study
Featuring a magnificent carved oak fireplace and original 17th-century panelling, the Study offers a backdrop steeped in heritage. Bathed in natural light from tall sash windows, it provides an intimate setting for quiet conversations or sophisticated photo opportunities away from the main party.
A Dramatic Entrance for a Storybook Day
The Panelled Hall
The heart of the house. With its rich dark wood, historic fireplace, and stained-glass entrance, the Hall is an atmospheric setting for your ceremony or welcome drinks. The long aisle and elegant columns create a sense of occasion that requires very little dressing to look spectacular.
A Picture-Perfect Moment
The Lantern Staircase
Sweeping elegantly beneath a beautiful oval skylight, the staircase is a photographer’s dream. Whether capturing the “first look,” a dramatic bouquet toss, or simply enjoying the live music from the baby grand piano at its foot, this space adds a touch of magic to your day.
Speakeasy Style for Late-night Laughs
The Cocktail Bar
When the formalities are done, the party moves here. With art-deco wallpaper, glowing shelves, and a warm wooden bar, this stylish space is perfect for sipping signature cocktails and swapping stories. A relaxed, fun corner of the house where the evening truly comes alive.
The Lively Hub of the Celebration
The Main Bar
Bold, vibrant, and welcoming. This is the engine room of the party, offering swift service and a wide selection of local and international drinks. In summer, the doors open directly onto the courtyard; in winter, the log burner keeps the atmosphere cosy and inviting.
From Romantic Dining to the Ultimate Dancefloor
The Old Refectory
A beautifully versatile space with rustic parquet flooring and soft neutral tones. By day, it hosts your wedding breakfast filled with natural light; by night, the built-in stage and ceiling drapes transform the room into a vibrant party space. Direct access to the Main Bar ensures the atmosphere never drops.
A Magical Open-Air Lounge
The Courtyard
A playful oasis in the centre of the house. By day, it’s a sun-trap for drinks; by night, hundreds of fairy lights turn the stone walls and passion-flower pergola into a twinkling hideaway. Swinging chairs and cushioned benches make this the perfect spot to cool off after dancing.
An Iconic Backdrop for Outdoor Vows
The Gatehouse
Built in warm, time-worn stone with castellated battlements, the Gatehouse offers a truly unique setting for an outdoor ceremony. Framed by sweeping valley views, its ancient archway provides a dramatic natural aisle and an unforgettable backdrop for your couple portraits.
Effortless Romance with Valley Views
The Fountain
Exchange vows beneath the open sky with the gentle sound of the fountain and the rolling hills as your witness. This elegant terrace, framed by a classic stone balustrade, is the ultimate spot for a summer ceremony, confetti moments, or golden-hour cocktails.
Intimacy and Sophistication
The Grey Room
Ideal for smaller wedding breakfasts, the Grey Room combines period detailing with a calm, modern palette. Tall windows frame the view, while round tables and candlelight create a wonderfully romantic atmosphere for heartfelt speeches and dining with your closest circle.
A Fun Escape for Friendly Competition
The Games Room
From high-stakes pool matches to victory dances around the table tennis table, this room is the hub of light-hearted fun. It offers a playful retreat during the afternoon lull or a break from the dancefloor. It’s also the ideal spot for a sweet cart—we provide the jars, you just bring the sweets.
Countryside Views and the Morning-After Debrief
The Guest Wing
More than just a place to sleep. Our accommodation wing features a bright communal lounge and kitchen-diner with floor-to-ceiling valley views. Guests enjoy fresh, comfortable rooms with all modern amenities. Best of all? A hearty Full English breakfast is included the morning after, giving everyone the chance to relive the memories together. Dogs are very welcome, too.
32 Acres of North Devon Beauty
The Main Grounds
Step outside and the valley is yours. From manicured lawns that tumble down towards the village church, to ancient woodlands carpeted in wild garlic, the grounds offer endless variety for your photos. Whether on the hilltop or hidden in the trees, you will find the perfect spot to capture the moment.
