Gidleigh Park
Tudor country house with two Michelin-starred restaurant
Gidleigh Park is a beautiful Tudor-style country house on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, known for its beautiful grounds and exception Michelin-starred restaurant.
The interiors are inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, and the rooms and suites are beautifully furnished with sumptuous fabrics, antiques and artwork from the owners’ own collection. Named after local tors – rocky peaks – rooms are traditional but sophisticated and enjoy views over the valley or gardens. The spa suite features a large marble bath, double shower, sauna and steam room, and for families the two-bedroom self-contained pavillion is perfect.
All guests are invited to dip in and out of the pantry on the first floor which is filled with fruit, yoghurt and home made biscuits. When it comes to culinary credentials, Gidleigh Park excels. Contemporary, innovative and immaculately presented dishes have earned the restaurant two Michelin stars and dining here is to experience
The hotel is set within 107 acres of garden and woodland on the northern banks of the River Teign. Within the lush greenery is a croquet lawn, 18-hole putting lawn and tennis court.

Places to combine Gidleigh Park with
Devon and Cornwall
Hotel Tresanton is located within a cluster of houses on the edge of the fishing village of St Mawes, at the tip the Roseland Peninsula – one of Cornwall’s most beautiful stretches of coastline.
30 rooms and suites are spread across five houses, each individually decorated and furnished with antiques and artwork by local artists. Rooms are distinctly Cornish with fresh whites and blues and lots of natural light. All rooms enjoy views out across the ocean towards St Anthony’s lighthouse and some have their own private terrace.
Fresh seafood and lots of locally sourced produce is used in the restaurant, a beautiful space with mosaic flooring and tongue and groove walls. Large windows open out on the lavender-filled terrace, from where you can look out across the calm waters of the estuary. There is also the Dog’s Bar, an informal space where, you guessed it, four-legged friends are more than welcome. An open fireplace and selection of boardgames make this the perfect place to enjoy a coffee and the papers or a glass of wine in the evening.
The hotel is the proud owner of Pinuccia, an eight-foot yacht originally built to race for Italy in international competitions. Guests can sail around Falmouth bay with the skipper, with the option to add a picnic and bottle ofwine.
