This magnificent manor house sits amid idyllic countryside, just a mile from the village of Bridestowe on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. Steeped in remarkable history dating back to the 13th century, it is a truly unique Grade II* listed retreat, ideal for families or large groups of friends seeking somewhere extraordinary to gather.
From the moment you enter the grand dining hall—with its impressive fireplace and traditional coat of arms—you are drawn into the enchanting character of the property, enhanced by its spacious rooms and multi-room Sonos sound system. A library, sitting room and TV room offer peaceful spots to relax, while the music room, complete with instruments, invites lively fun. For more informal meals, the cosy breakfast room with its wood-burning stove, next to the well-equipped kitchen, is perfect. Caterers can also be arranged if desired.
Two staircases lead to five superb en suite bedrooms, each featuring luxurious Egyptian cotton linens and soft bathrobes, along with a games room and a convenient kitchenette. In true fairytale fashion, a sixth en suite bedroom is tucked away in the Tower.
The grounds are as captivating as the house itself, extending across more than 13 acres of gardens, woodland, ponds and paddocks, with glorious views over the moors. Enjoy croquet on the lawn, dine outdoors in the illuminated barbecue area with chimenea, soak up the scenery, or let children roam and explore the many open spaces.
Beyond the manor lies beautiful moorland for walking and cycling, and with a welcoming pub in Bridestowe plus the vibrant towns of Tavistock and Okehampton nearby, there are plenty of places to eat and shop. The dramatic National Trust Lydford Gorge also makes for a memorable outing.
Great Bidlake is an exceptional setting for creating treasured memories with family and friends.
