Knightshayes

Begun in 1869, and a rare survival of the work of the eccentric designer William Burges, Knightshayes is an extraordinary gothic delight, with rich Victorian interiors, with far reaching views of the Exe Valley and Tiverton.

Knightshayes has one of the finest gardens in Devon, with formal terraces, unique topiary, rare shrubs, many fine specimen trees, glorious spring flowers and summer borders, and a full productive Walled kitchen garden, provided the restaurant with fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables all year round.

Knightshayes is home to a varied collection. With richly decorated interiors and an ecclectic collection, reflecting both the families tastes and the designers eccentricities, it's a wonderful blend of Medieval, Gothic, Victorian and Edwardian- all in one.
