Combe House...
Imagine a wildly romantic Grade 1 Elizabethan manor house set in 3,500 acres of one of Devon's finest country estates, close to the sea for long coastal walks, yet just a short drive from the historic city of Exeter. Beautiful Arabian horses and pheasants roam freely as you approach Combe House, along a mile of winding drive. This charming country house hotel lies in Gittisham, the film location for a Rosemunde Pilcher novel and described by Prince Charles as the "Ideal English Village" with its pretty Devon cob and thatch cottages, Norman church, babbling brook and village green - a timeless picture of days gone by.
Here you will find exceptional food in a wonderful country setting, carefully chosen wines, roaring log fires and generous hospitality. Listed as one of the most romantic hotels in Great Britain and voted "Best Restaurant in Devon 2006" by Devon Life Readers, Combe is a place you will love. For, to discover the warmth and tranquillity of this country house surrounded by its enchanting gardens is to find something very special - something you may never have known you were looking for until you found it, rather like falling in love for the very first time.
Push open the broad oak door of this magnificent country hotel to find yourself in the elegant Great Hall, where a huge blazing log fire awaits you. As you step into the warmth, luxury and tranquillity of this comfortable country family home, you cannot fail to notice the uniquely informal and relaxed atmosphere - there's a cosy bar and welcoming sitting rooms with squashy curl-up-and-read-a-book sofas. The house is principally Elizabethan - all gables, finials and transom windows.
