Why stay in this location and hotel?

This is a special place.

Yomp high moorland or walk along the stunning South Devon coast. Ride a bike through remarkable National Trust valley woodland or spend time in the museums and shops of a fascinating city.

There are National Trust properties, famous prehistoric sites, a National aquarium and even a zoo. Boringdon Hall is great for a weekend break but given the wealth of different experiences on offer here, we'd recommend booking in for a longer holiday.
