Nestled within 107 acres of national parkland and perched on the bank of the North Teign River, Gidleigh Park’s seclusion offers an idyllic escape for any city dweller. The main house, a Tudor Revival building dating from the 1920s, overlooks immaculate lawns with the river acting as a horizon line, glistening at the bottom of the grounds. Dogs can stay in either four heated kennels, in Lydford (a deluxe garden view room), Bellever (a master room) or in the ‘The Pavilion’, a self-contained thatched cottage, which offers guests complete privacy just a short stroll away from the hotel and other facilities. Designer Carole Roberts worked in close collaboration with current owners, Andrew and Christina Brownsword, on the decoration scheme throughout. The enduring impression is an artful blend of old and new, references to the Arts and Crafts movement are mixed with a more contemporary style.
