The Experience

The team of talented chefs give you a fine menu which includes traditional and gourmet dishes with a French influence, so evenings are for fine dining and the menu is changed every two months. Breakfast is served in the restaurant – continental, full English with local produce as often as possible and Prosecco if you want to add a sparkle to your morning. Lunch is served every day too.

Comfortable bedrooms are either in the main house or in two other buildings (some modernised, others not yet; the new owner has plans). Above all you’ll enjoy peace and quiet, excellent unobtrusive service and a terrace with marvellous views across the Tamar Valley. Wander the walled garden, find a lounger and enjoy the birdsong.

Explore the wooded valley then head back for afternoon tea either in the drawing room with its big bay window or the library upstairs, cosier and with an open fire – perfect after a long walk or on rainy days.
