Cadhay, Ottery St Mary, Devon

Situated in the heart of east Devon, yet close to the city of Exeter, Dartmoor and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, Cadhay has much to offer everyone.

A stay at Cadhay is a rare and unique experience. To arrive here is to enter into an amazing historic house that has been lived in continuously for centuries. Yet the feel is welcoming, understated and relaxed, a house that offers modern comfort without having been modernized.

With its deep sofas and wood fires, you will quickly unwind and will soon feel entirely comfortable and at home.

Cadhay has been beautifully restored and offers modern comforts: it is a place where you can live comfortably and confidently in the rural Devon countryside, the past all around you, yet still very much in touch with the modern world of today.

Cadhay is licensed to hold weddings - in the House, the garden or a marquee - please see our website for more details.

Cadhay has 13 bedrooms sleeping up to 22 (7 doubles, 4 twins, 2 singles). On the first floor you may choose to sleep in one of the three traditional four-poster beds or a more contemporary version hand-crafted by Cadhay’s owner, furniture-maker Rupert Thistlethwayte.
