Classic Car Breaks

Lewtrenchard Manor, Okehampton, Mid-Devon

Each of the historic bedrooms at Lewtrenchard has its own unique character, whether it is burnished oak panelling, exquisite ornamental plasterwork, rich fabrics, extraordinary antique furniture or superb views over the garden and parkland – in one you’ll even find the original bed of Henrietta Maria, wife of the hapless Charles I.

However, they all have the same welcoming touches – freshly cut flowers from the gardens, luxuriously soft towelling robes, bowls of fresh fruit and irresistible plates of home made shortbreads, peanut cookies and white chocolate biscuits. As much private living rooms as bedrooms, they provide the perfect setting in which to totally unwind, enjoy a lengthy bath or savour a leisurely breakfast.

The new bedrooms at Lewtrenchard Manor are simply fabulous; pass through original, centuries-old oak doors to beautiful, cosy and luxuriously spacious Suites and Superior rooms that fit so perfectly with the age of this finest of Jacobean houses and are a tribute to the very best in contemporary design; the colour schemes are inspirational. Fabulous four poster and sleigh beds complement the interiors. These are the sort of rooms where you will be tempted to remain for longer than you ought! The two Superior rooms can even be interconnecting for families.

There's also the Bridal Suite in the impressive Tower House located next to the main house and overlooking the award-winning gardens. Rapunzel might well have been confined here and in such luxury!

The bathrooms are also a feature of all the new rooms, being so agreeably contemporary and so spacious, as are the views of cloister, dovecote, fountain and gardens.

Extending over several acres, the glorious gardens feature streams and ponds, fountains and statuary, sunken lawns and a profusion of shrubs, plus a huge rustic dovecote and a recently restored walled vegetable garden, where the chefs often gather fresh produce for their menus.
