Eggesford Barton House, Chulmleigh, Devon

Once the main farm for the Earls of Portsmouth’s Eggesford estate, Eggesford Barton House has been converted and renovated to Grade 4 standard within the constraints of a Grade 2 listing. The house is over 300 years old surrounding a large garden courtyard and is full of charm and character with pretty Georgian arched windows, exposed oak beams, original fireplaces and quirky sloping floors.

The rooms are tastefully furnished in a manner sympathetic to the style of the property and the house readily accommodates up to 28 guests.

Many of our guests stay for a long weekend or a week with their extended families or friends to celebrate a special occasion or escape for a short break. There is space for all to dine together in the main dining room and if you would like the help of outside caterers we can arrange this. A little notice is required to avoid disappointment.

Our large marquee area is perfect for guests who wish to celebrate a big day or provides a large outdoor area for ball games.

For our guests with children, there is an indoor games room with table tennis and pool table.

We welcome dogs and the nearby walks in the surrounding area and Eggesford Forest are quite beautiful. For keen fishermen the River Taw, renowned for its Salmon and Trout fishing, is close by and guests are welcome to try their luck free of charge.

North Devon beaches, Dartmoor and Exmoor are within 45 minutes drive. A picturesque journey on the Tarka train from Eggesford station takes 40 minutes to the cathedral city of Exeter.
