Imagine a wildly romantic Grade 1 Elizabethan Manor 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 Cathedral city of Exeter. Beautiful Arabian horses and pheasants roam freely as you approach Combe House along a mile of winding drive. This charming historic luxury English country house hotel lies in Gittisham, the film location for a Rosamunde 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 in the “Top 3 Foodie Hotels in South West England” by readers of FOOD Magazine, Combe is a place you will love. For, to discover the warmth and tranquility of this luxury historic country house hotel surrounded by its enchanting woodland 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... |
