Accommodation in East Devon
Hotels:
Combe House Devon Gittisham
Imagine a wildly romantic Grade 1 Elizabethan Manor set in 3,500 acres of one of Devon’s finest country estates, close to the sea for long coastal walks, yet just a short drive from the Cathedral city of Exeter.

The “Steam-up” is an annual event held early summer in the grounds of Liz and Tony Gosling’s house, Penventon, in Shute.

Liz provides her famous Devon cream teas. There is a raffle and ice cream and cakes are also on sale. Children can be amused with Rob’s giant “noughts and crosses” and “splat the rat”. This year, …
