Regal serenity meets modern living

Ludbrook Manor rises over Dartmoor with one eye on the Salcombe coast. Its fires are roaring; the hot tub is bubbling; the underfloor heating is toasty. Live like a Lord with a sense of regal serenity, yet with wifi and Sky on tap. The whirlpool baths, heated indoor pool and terraced dining are worth getting used to.

Country retreat with luxuries on tap

An English castle with the flag of St George fluttering in the Devon breeze; a roaring fire; a bird’s-eye view over the rolling Dartmoor hills. Ludbrook Manor is your very own South Hams country retreat with luxuries on tap and its own unique style etched into every ornate cornice, chandelier and skylight window.

The magic begins before your key reaches the lock. You’ll sweep up the drive through eight acres of prime Devon grassland and orchard, past the outside terrace and the bridged Japanese pond. Inside, the floors are marbled, the doors solid oak.

Stained-glass windows in the hall and the clan crest in the drawing-room floor hint at history; the spectacular kitchen, elegant dining room and underfloor heating are evidence of a loving restoration. A sense of regal serenity pervades the property just as surely as the wifi and the satellite signals that carry the full Sky TV package

There’s instant access to fun here: the indoor heated pool features underwater mood lights; en-suite bathrooms have whirlpool baths; there’s a hot tub for chilling and chatting; and, a tennis court. Throw open the Leisure Suite doors and drink and dine on the terrace as Dartmoor falls away before you. You could get used to this.

That’s not all, you are spoilt for choice at Ludbrook Manor. Set up a match on the tennis court with its private pavilion, get your pawns ready on the giant granite chess set, or just enjoy the nearby walking and cycling paths.

'I just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you how much we all enjoyed our stay at Ludbrook Manor. It is a truly special place and our time there was over far too quickly. We're all still talking about it, this is the fourth time we've all been away together and everyone agreed it was the best!' - Jo
We have just arrived back after a 5 night stay at Ludbrook Manor, this is without doubt a very special place to stay, from the moment you first set eyes on this property from quite a distance away you know you will not be disappointed. Outside is beautiful and has plenty for everyone including the hot tub which was very well used while we were there along with the tennis court and giant chess set. - Rose
I am still on a high from our amazing family weekend in the most amazing house. The memory will live with me forever and our three little girls had the best time. Our 7 year old played carols and Christmas songs on the piano. The house was perfect, immaculate and had everything. Could not be better in any way. The Christmas decorations are out of this world and so suit the house, wonderful atmosphere. Thank you from the bottom of my overflowing heart! - Stephanie
We had a wonderful weekend at Ludbrook; the place absolutely blew us away. The atmosphere was just so relaxing and we had everything we could possibly need. The Birthday girl had an amazing time and felt like royalty! She asked me to thank you for her card. We will be back! - Helen
A great place to stay and it enabled the whole family to get together. The rooms were immaculate and we would love to stay again in this glorious part of Devon. - Howard
My family enjoyed a super Easter break at Ludbrook Manor booked through Kate and Tom’s. The web site showed us exactly what we were getting and useful information about local restaurants and things to do was a bonus. My family, totalling 22 people (including 10 children) had a fantastic time which included a murder mystery staged by Candlelight Productions. The house was clean and tidy, and warm and offered plenty of space for large families. The swimming pool was a great hit and there was plenty for the children to do outside including tennis and rounders. Our stay included a fabulous lunch at Shilstone House which is only a mile away. We would not hesitate in using Kate and Tom’s again. - Chris

Between the moors and the sea

Between the moors and the sea, you’ll be torn between the golden beaches and hidden coves around the coast and the wooded valleys, tumbling rivers and granite tors of Dartmoor. Potter the pretty streets of Ivybridge and Totnes, take a boat trip, learn to ski or surf. Or just wander down the lane for a pint in the pub.
