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.

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.
