Built by the Monk family on the site of an earlier house, this Jacobean manor was embellished by the Victorian hymn writer Sabine Baring Gould. The granite mullion windows with 19th century stained glass and high ceilings with decorative plasterwork are set off by rich oak panelling. The hotel bedrooms are tastefully decorated and the views are of the formal and informal gardens. .The nearest railway station is exeter st davids, 30 miles.
