Small 1400s manor house with many medieval touches intact, set amid verdant gardens & woods.
Great place. Need to book in advance though, plus its only open a few times a year. There isn't any carparking nor toilets but there is a small public free carpark at the end of the drive/park and the park i noticed had a cafe and toilets. The house still has the owner living there and she give a small talk about the house. It was great. You go around in a guided tour group of 6.
This is not a grand stately home, but rather the home of the local landowner. It's undergone extension and "renovation" over the years, but it's still relatively easy to see the main buildings from the 1400s and to imagine how they looked then.
Beautiful old national trust house. Lovely gardens and interesting rooms to explore. Lovely honey made on site
We live locally but have never before visited this wonderful old house. Greeted by two lovely volunteers and shown around by subsequent volunteers, the rooms are fascinating and exhibit decor going back over six hundred years. The atmosphere, furniture and decor are well worth seeing. Lovely old property and gardens... will visit again.
A lovely little property just right for a quiet stroll around leafy wooded areas and a very interesting house full of unusual and unique rooms. The original banqueting hall was my favourite room but to think people still live here it's live a living piece of history. Only open on certain days of the week and no aminities but well worth a visit. As usual the staff were all very welcoming and knowledgeable about there rooms.
My favourite Nationally Trust house in this area. It's small and ancient, mid-fifteenth century, but still lived in, and has a great feeling of continuity. Peaceful setting with lovely walks through the wooded valley, dogs welcome in the grounds. Although you are right on the edge of Newton Abbot it feels beautifully secluded. I recommend looking out for the roof bosses in the Chapel, the Tudor screen in the Great Hall, the William Morris curtains, the amazing wall paintings in the Fleur de Lys room, as well as some lovely 20th-century ceramics and arts-and-crafts furniture by Ernest Gimson and the Barnsleys. And I thoroughly recommend the Bradley honey, available to buy at the entrance, cash only.
