Devon Holiday Guide

Description

One of Britain’s most elegant Arts and Crafts houses, Gidleigh Park was built as a grand private residence in 1928 for Australian shipping magnate CHC MacIlwraith.

The house was lovingly restored in 2006 and new elements were added to further enhance the character of the house and the comfort of the guest, bathrooms have become a super luxurious feature and include roof top hot tubs, spa rooms and feature wet rooms.

The family owners of Gidleigh Park provide a very personal touch, in the choice of luxurious rugs, hand-crafted furniture, art from their own collection and charming accessories.

In celebration of the Arts and Crafts style a selection of these rooms feature wonderful traditional wood paneling, recreated in total empathy with the period by a local company, respected furniture designers and makers Touchwood Devon.
