Ashley Court double room

Ashley Court is a grade 2 listed country house situated just South of Tiverton in Devon which is being slowly and lovingly restored by Nigel and Tara. A fascinating glimpse into the past, with many original features which have been untouched since the early 1900's. Set in 18 acres of woodland, fields and formal gardens. The old servants quarters are now guest bedrooms full of charm, and character. An authentic English country house experience. The space The house is an unusually well preserved example of a modest sized Regency Country House complete with Lodge Cottage, stable yards, apple lofts, walled garden and woodland walks. It has been largely unaltered since the main building work was completed in 1805. Currently in a state of shabby but genteel decayed grandeur it has a charm and authenticity of its own. If you like to step back in time and see how people lived in previous centuries then this is the place for you to stay. Guest access Guests are welcome to roam in the gardens and woodland, including the acre of walled kitchen garden and to inspect the stables. You will have exclusive use of our large dining room during your stay, where we will serve you breakfast and in which you can relax during the evening. During your stay There is always someone available to help you should you need it and we are very happy to give recommendations for places to visit locally etc. Other than that, please make yourselves at home and enjoy the quiet space and unique historic atmosphere of the house in your own time. Other things to note We have cats, tortoises, sheep and chickens on the property so please take care to close gates behind you to keep them safe. There are areas that are still in progress of renovation so please take care and watch your step especially outside where the cobbled pathways are uneven and can be slippery. There is a small garden pond, unfenced and numerous uneven steps and slopes. We are delighted to welcome families to the house and enjoy the opportunity to show children the way people lived in the 'olden days' however there are no concessions to modern ideas of health and safety so please beware that they will need supervision and it is at your own risk.
