Combe House

Combe House is one of the best country house hotels in Devon, for making the most of the West Country's many attractions. We are situated just 5 minutes from Honiton and 15 from Exeter. And remember - there are not many country hotels in Devon which have the benefit of being set in a glorious countryside location, yet just a stone's throw from the seaside!

Amongst many things, Devon is famous for the recent BBC TV Series 'Down to Earth' and Gittisham itself was the setting for a Rosamunde Pilcher film. Moving further afield, did you know that Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Persuasion were filmed in Lyme Regis?

Gittisham Village - Stroll down Combe's mile long winding drive and to back in time to the quaint cob and thatched cottages, Norman Church and babbling brook of Gittisham. Described by Prince Charles as the 'ideal English village' you'll feel as if you've entered a time warp.

Honiton Antique and Bric-a-Brac Trail - Honiton, the antique town of the South West has over 38 shops to visit. Visit the museum and discover its world famous collection of lace. And do drop into the celebrated Pottery, renowned for its pre war Collard period collection.
