'Stunning’ is overused. It should be trademarked by Lamper Head at Dartmouth

This mind-bending, 14-guest property has inspired pop songs, created life-changing special occasions and given scores of children unforgettable holiday memories.

The spaces are colossal, the river views stupendous, the cathedral windows and oak beams designed by architects of Grand Designs fame. Their vision conceived a peerless study in contemporary Devonshire beauty.

The splendour adds to the family fun. You can enjoy those views from the hot tub. And the kids will love the secret attic playroom.

Stay in the Zen Suite for the spa room. Try the Aqua Suite to slide swiftly into the spectacular indoor pool. Wherever you stay, the Lamper Head experience will stay with you.

Luxuriate in the pool and hot tub

Does the dawn of a new day ever promise so much? Slide from your ensuite master bedroom straight into the heated pool, slink into the dressing area, then throw back the doors to the Mediterranean courtyard and enjoy continental breakfast as the morning sun dries your hair.

The day will continue to unfurl its delights. Rejuvenate yourself with visits from massage and beauty therapists in the spa treatment room. Melt your cares away in the hot tub as you take in the river views. Stroll the grounds after family supper, before your final dusk swim in the soft light of another delightful Lamper Head evening.

Your break might last only a few days, but the magic lingers forever.
