Brimming with charm and grandeur both inside and out, this former hotel is an ideal base for large celebrations with family or friends. With fantastic views across the River Torridge and estuary, it is set on the outskirts of Northam close to the South West Coast Path and Tarka Trail. While its interior boasts stained-glass windows, generous reception rooms and en-suite bedrooms, its outside sunny balconies, large lawns and pretty terraces provide plenty of opportunities for soaking up the stunning waterside views.
Inside, this grand property offers spacious rooms for entertaining, traditional decor and plenty of charming original features throughout. Cook up a storm in the kitchen, which is well-equipped to cater for large numbers, with two Range-style electric ovens and two dishwashers. Once prepared, enjoy feasts to remember in the elegant dining room before retreating to the main lounge, where a log burning fire creates a cosy atmosphere and large bay windows frame wonderful views. Upstairs, each of the ten bedrooms boasts en-suite bath/shower rooms and TVs, some of which open onto glorious balconies. Outside, the beautifully maintained gardens provide plenty of space for playing, dining and sunbathing, together with access to the river.
Enjoying a peaceful location on the edge of the quaint village of Northam, this property is within 1 mile of the local shops and eateries. Step down to the banks of the River Torridge with your fishing net or head to the nearby Victorian village of Westward Ho! (2 miles) to make the most of its sandy beach and traditional British seaside charm. For family days out, head for The Milky Way (9.5 miles), The Big Sheep (2.5 miles) or RHS Rosemoor (10 miles), or for wonderful rugged walks, take to Exmoor National Park (23 miles).
