About the property

Honiton Manor is a stunning Elizabethan manor house and a fantastic holiday home where family and friends can celebrate a special occasion or simply just being together. You’ll have two acres of beautiful manicured gardens to call your own, complete with a heated swimming pool and a tennis court. Inside, a raft of original features includes intricate ceilings and a minstrel’s gallery, across a mix of formal and informal reception rooms. Celebratory dinners in the historic Great Hall are magical, while the modern cinema room is fantastic for nights chilling out together. When you wish to explore the region, lovely local towns, the Devonshire countryside and the beaches of the Jurassic Coast are just a short drive away.
The space

Perhaps the most impressive room of the whole house is the Great Hall which is a formal dining room, perfect for hosting lavish dinners. With a minstrel’s gallery, a large fireplace and a long antique dining table, there’s a real sense of occasion that makes every meal feel special.

The Long Room, located upstairs beneath the eaves of the property, is equally stunning. When you want some quiet time, this is the place to head to. With its beautiful ceiling detail, plentiful natural light and a library of books, it’s easy to relax.

Alternatively, there’s the lounge which is designed for everyone to make themselves at home, enjoy a drink and chat. There’s seating for 14 guests and a log burner that makes it extra cosy on chilly evenings. Or, there’s the cinema room which has a noticeably modern feel compared to the rest of the house. If it’s raining outside, open up the popcorn and get comfy for a few hours of movies and gaming together in front of the 65” 4K Ultra HD TV – it has a DreamScreen and Dolby Atmos surround sound system for the full entertainment experience.

Meanwhile, the cooks in the group can rustle up meals in the delightful kitchen which is well-equipped with an electric Range oven and a combination microwave, and also has a pantry. With a breakfast bar and a window seat, it’s a social space where cooks and helpers can chat as they prep.

The manor house has seven bedrooms in total. On the ground floor, there are two bedrooms. Both of these rooms have a super-king-size bed, one of which is zip-and-link-style and can be split into two singles. These bedrooms share a ground-floor shower room with a walk-in shower, WC and sink.

Upstairs there are five bedrooms, including the master suite which has a king-size four-poster bed and an en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower, two sinks and a WC. The other four bedrooms each have a super-king-size bed, three of which can be split into two single beds. Two of these bedrooms have a TV and share a bathroom with a bath, WC and sink, whilst the other two bedrooms share a shower room with a walk-in shower, WC and sink.

The house also has two cloakrooms.

Outside, there are over two acres of private gardens. The inner courtyard is a lovely spot to enjoy breakfast or sip a cup of tea, while the large enclosed walled garden has a huge lawn that’s great for playing garden games. There’s also an outdoor heated swimming pool that’s available to use from mid-May to September (weather permitting) and a dining area that’s ideal for barbecues. If you fancy a game of tennis there's a full-size court with a hard base and rackets and balls are provided. A tennis coach can be arranged if you wish to improve your game.
Guest access

The caretaker of the property lives nearby and will meet you on arrival, give you the keys and show you around.

The swimming pool is 1.25m deep and is available to use from mid-May to September (weather permitting).

Local Info

The neighbourhood

The manor house is located in a peaceful part of the countryside in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. As guests of the manor house you will have access to a private woodland area that is perfect for leisurely walks and picnics. Or, venture into the Blackdown Hills on the border of Devon and Somerset which is a fantastic area for walking, riding and cycling. Meanwhile, the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site is a drive of around 20 minutes for beautiful beaches and fossil-hunting.

The nearest town is about 5 miles away and is renowned for its antique shops, but also offers a good selection of other shops and cafes. Meanwhile, the city of Exeter is about 20 miles away and here you can enjoy a cultural day exploring the cathedral, the underground passages and the historic quayside.

If you’re looking for something with an adrenaline rush, the West Country Land Rover Experience Centre is not far from the manor house and offers fun days for groups. For challenges of a more sedate nature, there are several golf courses within easy reach.
