Lewtrenchard Manor

We stayed for two wonderful nights and absolutely loved every moment. The hotel is a beautiful, historic building full of character, and our room was, without doubt, one of the best we've ever stayed in! A huge, incredibly comfortable bed with luxurious bedding, and a spacious bathroom with hot, fluffy towels – truly first-class comfort.||||The staff were all warm, friendly, and attentive, making us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. On our first evening, we dined in the bar after enjoying a delicious cream tea on arrival. The sandwiches, made with homemade bread, were excellent – and the roaring log fire made it feel extra cosy.||||For our second night, we opted for the Fine Dining experience, which was absolutely outstanding. We started with a beautiful soup and a rich game terrine, followed by perfectly cooked venison served with a traditional faggot – simply delicious. Dessert was a heavenly chocolate orange creation, alongside a well-curated cheese board. The meal was paired with a lovely bottle of red wine and, once again, the service was impeccable.||||Breakfast each morning was served in the charming Library. The menu offered great variety, and everything – from tea and coffee to toast and hot dishes – was brought to the table with care.||||We also took time to relax in the stunning grounds and spent a lovely afternoon exploring nearby Tavistock, which was perfect for a leisurely stroll and a bit of browsing.||||This trip was everything we hoped for and more – relaxing, restorative, and thoroughly enjoyable. We returned feeling completely refreshed. We can’t wait to come back again!

Such a beautiful place to stay. We stayed one night to see how it was after the recent renovation and to try out the dinner. We were not disappointed! The quality of the renovation is superb, both in the public areas and in our room. The outside works are not yet complete and are also extensive, but it looks as if this will be lovely by next summer. The dinner was also brilliant; original mix of flavours and some excellent pastry work. All in all it was a memorable stay.

So glad this hotel has reopened after 18 months shut. It has had an excellent refurbishment and is now even better than before - and it was always 5* in our opinion. It is a magnificent building and the room we had (room 6) was superb. The bathroom in particular was fabulous and very upmarket. We were on a Secret Escapes 2 night break which included one night's dinner. For this we had full choice from the a la carte menu which was superb but at £75 a head for 3 courses not cheap. The setting is lovely but a little isolated - Tavistock, the closest town, is about 7 miles away. We will start saving up for a further visit straight away!

Just back from a memorable special weekend break at the recently re-opened Manor. to celebrate a birthday. The Original Collection are clearly investing in this amazing venue. We enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing time at this amazing place, complimented by the helpful staff. Special praise to Chris Hornsby and staff in the Kitchen who delivered exemplary fine dining experiences, including the tasting menu, with great service. Many thanks for a grand experience.

My partner and I spent one night as a treat and were not disappointed. The newly refurbished hotel is superb with high quality finishes and attention to detail that made our stay extremely comfortable and enjoyable. The food was excellent and the warm, friendly and attentive staff made us feel very welcome. The rural location is very peaceful and the gardens are well attended. Would definitely return.

Now experienced dinner, luncheon, luncheon in a party of 12 and Sunday luncheon. All were superb with food and wine in sync with the wonderful re-opening of our local ‘place to go to’ hotel. We will surely take a room for a break and walk the gardens and grounds. Works are still incomplete but one can visualise the completed article which is bound to attract all it deserves.

We only stayed for one night but it was excellent.|A hotel that exudes class and service of the highest quality, yet remains personal and friendly. |Our bedroom was beautiful, with a fantastic, large bathroom with wonderful shower and bath. |The restaurant and connecting rooms are tasteful, and beautiful.|Afternoon tea in the garden was delightful.|Would I recommend? Without hesitation.

We have just returned from a one night stay at the beautiful Lewtrenchard Manor. We have stayed twice before back in 2023, a summer visit and a Christmas visit, but as it was a birthday treat and has now reopened under new management, we were keen to return. We were certainly not disappointed. We were greeted by the wonderful Steph on Reception. She personally escorted us to our room, highlighting how the room had keen refurbished, but had kept all of its charm. Room 7 - This room was just stunning, with shower room, freestanding bathtub of copper in an area of its own, and four poster bed standing in a triple aspect bedroom over looking the courtyard and wooded views beyond. The room was beautifully clean. Before Steph left us she informed of how to contact Reception and also made us aware of fire exits. We enjoyed a peaceful evening in the front lounge and enjoyed a very tasty Espresso Cocktail, thank you again Steph! We had a comfortable nights sleep and the bed was very cozy. We had chosen the bed and breakfast package and my husband and myself agreed that it was the tastiest breakfast we had eaten in a hotel for a long time, commendations to your chef. We were also served by two lovely gentleman at breakfast, who were very attentive. Upon checkout this morning, we were greeted by another lovely, young lady (apologies, we did not get your name) who gave us information regarding'The Original Collection' who have now acquired Lewtrenchard Manor. We would like to thank all staff for an enjoyable stay and also extend a big thank you to all who have helped to restore and reopen this amazing home, so we can enjoy her again! We will return!

This is the epitome of Country house hotel. The staff cannot be more obliging and when there is a big function such as a wedding they bring in extra staff who are equally well trained. Their catchphrase seems to be That's not a problem and the food is exquisite. At a recent wedding the whole place was turned over to the families and guests with exclusivity meaning just that. Ok, so it can be expensive but quality and style come at a cost. The decor seems to have been gathered from stately homes, the gardens are well maintained and worth a visit just for themselves. The added joy is the complete lack of mobile coverage which complements the atmosphere. Even the children's meals were special and they loved the idea of four poster beds and hidden treasures to seek out. Glorious, but then again I had one of the best weekends of my life!

This has to be some of the best food that we have enjoyed recentlybut the overall stay was not so good as expected. Dining at Lewtrenchard Manor cannot be faulted -this has to be the best in Devon surely ???? We had a room that was cold when we arrived, an electric heater did finally top the temperature up to acceptable. Beautiful views from all the windows, and country house period furnishings, but no luxuries in this very high priced room. No fridge, no tea making facilities ( although complimentary tea in the room before breakfast) The Bathroom in dire need of refurbishment, a tiny bath that I could not lie down in, despite being under 5'5, and a general lack of attention to detail. The newest glossy magazine in the room was a year old, the rest being just free magazines from the likes of BMW. The main hall also had nothing new to read, and when asking reception about something to read I was told to go and look in the other reception rooms myself. this also did not turn up anything to read ! They new it was a birthday treat -but no mention ,and not even a welcome card !! The reception rooms all have open fires, but they have such big guards across them, no real heat escapes into the rooms, and of course takes away the atmospere !! We would possibly give it another try, but as it is all so pricey, ~I am not sure I would bother !!
