“Nothing quite prepares you for the first sight of Elizabethan Combe House, with a wildly romantic Caroline interior. Set in its own park in picture-perfect Gittisham, this is one place where the idea of a special break really does live up to its promise, with luxurious rooms (including a divine cottage for two), lovely gardens and excellent food in the beautifully muralled dining room. Romance, and comfort, in spades.”
They say
“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 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.”
