Dating back to medieval times, this stunning grade II listing country manor is perfect for long weekends, hen parties and intimate weddings. Having featured in the Doomsday Book, it was entirely restored by the Elwes family fifteen years ago and today presents an array of unique characteristics throughout. It is brimming with unique and characterful quirks – it features over nine different staircases, hundreds of antique pieces, and hand-painted floors. The seven-bedroom suites are each presented with their own cheerful personality. Meanwhile, the luxurious bathrooms invite guests to sink into the copper bathtubs for blissful moments of relaxation in the countryside. And in case the seven bedrooms won't do, there are an additional three farm cottages that can be hired, accommodating up to forty guests. Set a three-minute drive from a 400-acre nature reserve with wild Exmoor ponies roaming on it, there are also numerous on-site amenities for guests to enjoy beyond the manor's walls. Located just a twenty-second stroll away, in the walled garden overlooking a small lake full of wildlife, you'll find the on-site spa. Handcrafted in wood to be in keeping with the surrounding natural beauty, enjoy uninterrupted pampering with spa treatments, including massages and milk baths. In addition to the spa, guests can also hire a 60 sq/m giant yurt situated in the manor's garden; it comes fully insulated and includes a cosy wood-burning stove, a kitchenette, and an essential domestic power supply. We particularly love the stylish designs of the yurt - it makes for a memorable once-in-a-life-time type experience and serves wonderfully for special events or parties. The hosts can also accommodate guests with catering services upon request – so why not book in for a delicious afternoon tea before treatment at the spa? When you're all pampered out, other possible on-site activities include archery, axe throwing and yoga. The large walled garden provides a blissful setting for barbecues amidst the ancient fruit trees during the summer months. Let the fresh countryside breeze soothe your soul – life's daily stresses will be left well and truly behind you.
