Who stays here
Despite the grandeur (Queen Victoria stayed here - as did Prince Charles and Camilla), it has a relaxed house-party feel. Traditional but not snooty, with lots of A-listers down from London in Boden and Cath Kidston wellies.
Come for
- Idyllic setting, charming Mr Darcy-style Regency house
- Fishing in the River Tamar, walking and horse-riding on the moors
- Fireplaces in all the downstairs rooms
Not suitable for
- Dieters won't like Afternoon Tea - clotted cream, scones, steaming pots of tea, fresh strawberries...

Children
Children are welcome to stay at the hotel, and they can arrange a babysitting service for guests. There are also extra beds for the rooms. The suites interconnect, and they recommend this option for larger families.
Eating in
Delicious, traditional English food (Devon beef; sticky toffee pudding) is dished up in the ground-floor dining room; the lounge bar is cosy and comfy. Afternoon tea served in the library.
