Beautiful country house with exquisite gardens
A Grade I listed house set within 100 acres of woodland on the edge of Dartmoor, Endsleigh is a beautiful country reatreat with bags of charm.
There are just 18 rooms, each individually designed with delicate painted wallpaper and sumptuous fabrics. Deep rolltop baths are perfect for sinking into after a day in the countryside. Many of the rooms have views of the gardens and out towards the River Tamar. The thatched gatekeeper’s lodge also has its own private garden and a woodburning stove.
Taking inspiration from its surroundings, there is plenty of venison, beef and rabbit on the menu in the restaurant, a wonderfully inviting space with dark wood panels and an open fireplace. For those that are interested in cooking, the hotel runs foraging walks where you’ll head out with an experience forager and discover all sorts of edible wonders.
The gardens at Endsleigh are absolutely beautiful and, depending on the season, are filled with bluebells, primroses and orchids. Guests can also enjoy nature walks through the woodland and along the banks of the River Tamar, in search of wildlife including otters and kingfishers.

Places to combine Hotel Endsleigh 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.
