The property sleeps up to 26, with a large dining room to accommodate all guests and a smaller dining room for more intimate gatherings. There are two very large lounges, plus a cosy sitting room.
Approached through park-like grounds, with double oak doors set in the arched entrance, the drive leads into a carriage ring at the centre of the courtyard. Pleasant evenings can be spent admiring the splendid views over the surrounding countryside towards Eggesford Forest. There are extensive outdoor garden areas overlooking pastureland, complete with barbecues, where food can be enjoyed out in the open.
