This old country house hotel has been given a bit of a contemporary facelift, and its rooms look much the better for it: decluttered, smartened and each given a decorative spin (Penguin-book-cover wallpaper, bird-print curtains). The suites are really grand: Harborne has A-frame beams and an in-room claw-foot tub, while Avon has its own deck beside the River Teign.
Some rooms have views over Castle Drogo.
