Отель «Lewtrenchard Manor»

"Perfection on a small scale" perhaps best describes Lewtrenchard Manor. This exquisite Devonshire manor house was built around 1600, on the site of an earlier house which was recorded in the 11th century Domesday Book. The elegant proportions of its rooms and delightful shrub-filled grounds create an atmosphere of tranquil harmony, enhanced by the loving care which its owners have lavished on it. Much of the warm oak paneling and ornate plasterwork in Lewtrenchard was installed by the 19th century Reverend Sabine Baring Gould, a hymn writer, novelist and folklorist. The old family portraits he hung there still decorate the walls, along with some very fine and unusual paintings on wood paneling. The upstairs gallery is furnished with splendid antique furniture, including a book-laden refectory table; the pretty bedrooms lead off from the gallery. Lewtrenchard's gardens and the glorious country beyond them invite guests to walk and explore; keen walkers may find the hotel's Labradors escorting them! The hidden valleys of Dartmoor are all around for more extensive exploration, and the hotel's bar, with its magnificent oak chimney piece, is a fine setting in which to savor the day's activities.
