Gay Owned and Run Boutique Country House Hotel Martinhoe Exmoor Devon The Old Rectory Gay Owned and Run Boutique Country House Hotel, Martinhoe, Exmoor National Park, North Devon  www.oldrectoryhotel.co.uk Imagine Knightsbridge chic and the timeless classic elegance of a traditional English country house with an air of tranquillity and calm. The eight en suite bedrooms are simply unashamed luxury and equipped to the highest standards in keeping with the fine heritage of this fabulous Georgian Rectory; all of the bedrooms are different, imaginatively decorated, supremely comfortable and have delightful little touches like fine toiletries and hand-made chocolates. You see, Huw and Sam the friendly owners really care about their guests. In fact, staying here has all the style, ambience and trappings of being a house-guest on a country estate but without the starchiness which here is found only in the table linen. Talking of which, dining is an irresistible affair were tables are graced with only the finest locally sourced produce, cooked with passion and impeccably presented under the romantic glow of candlelight, and Huw keeps a sensational cellar with stunning and interesting wines to accompany the extraordinarily good food. The fantastic garden is tranquillity itself, and having been nurtured by clergy past, it is a quintessentially English country garden full of heady-scented azaleas, rhododendrons and the bizarre gunnera. This is without doubt an idyllic and romantic country house escape. Huw and Sam together with their friendly attentive team of staff make The Old Rectory a very special and enchanting place to stay. |
