Orestone Manor, Devon

Description: Orestone Manor

Enjoying a spectacular location, set in the midst of rolling Devon countryside with views reaching down to Lyme Bay, Orestone Manor is a small, family run boutique hotel. Steeped in history - the manor was once the residence of I.K. Brunel - this charming property offers luxurious accommodation, great food and friendly service in a delightful rural setting.

Ideally placed for exploring this beautiful corner of South Devon, Orestone Manor is within easy reach of some of the region's most important landmarks and attractions. A short distance from Torquay, with its historic links to Agatha Christie, its delightful harbour, pavilion and Kents Cavern stone-age site, guests wishing to explore slightly further afield can be on Dartmoor in less than half an hour. Another fascinating attraction is the Round Robin steam train and historic river boat circuit.

The proud holder of two AA Rosettes, Orestone Manor's restaurant serves delicious menus featuring modern English and European cuisine, based on the finest locally sourced seasonal produce - South Devon beef, West Country free-range pork and lamb, local game and freshly caught fish and seafood from the local fishing fleets. The Manor also arranges a selection of unique gastronomic events, including 'Allo 'Allo, Murder Mystery or Fawlty Towers theme nights, along with Seafood nights and mid-week table d'hôtes.
