Welcome
A country-house stay, gently rendered.
Plantation House is a gently elegant Georgian former rectory at the heart of the South Hams, a slow, green corner of South Devon where kitchen gardens give way to river estuaries and the coast is half an hour away. Inside, the house is lived-in in the best sense — deep sofas, generous fires, fresh flowers and the aromas of something rather good coming from the kitchen.
Eight individually dressed rooms. A chef-led restaurant with 2 AA Rosettes. An unhurried breakfast that has earned an AA Breakfast Award. The sort of stay that undoes a week of hurry in a single evening.
Our promise
White Company linen, home-baked biscuits, and the softest possible landing.
The rooms
Eight rooms — no two alike.
From the snug Room 12 double to the generous Super King master, each room is dressed in White Company linens with fresh flowers, home-baked biscuits, and a hot water bottle on standby.
