Combe Cottage ~ A luxury holiday cottage near Exeter, Devon

Imagine a wildly romantic Grade 1 Elizabethan Manor set in 3,500 acres of one of Devon's finest country estates, close to the sea for long coastal walks, yet just a short drive from the historic city of Exeter. Beautiful Arabian horses and pheasants roam freely as you approach Combe House along a mile of winding drive.

This charming luxury country house hotel lies in Gittisham, the film location for a Rosemunde Pilcher novel and described by Prince Charles as the "Ideal English Village" with its pretty Devon cob and thatch cottages, Norman Church, babbling brook and Village Green - a timeless picture of days gone by.

Tucked away in the woods at the entrance is the newly restored Combe Thatch Cottage - a romantic hideaway for two with its own private walled garden. The original cottage features have been enhanced and embellished with comfortable contemporary furnishings in shades of natural linen and stone, complemented by carefully placed fine antiques and fresh flowers. For special occasions, a Combe House chef can create a romantic candlelit dinner for two discreetly served in the dining alcove.
