Highbullen Hotel Hotel

Devon

Located in the wilds of North Devon, this country house hotel retains the atmosphere of gentler times in the best possible way. Think creamy scones by the fire, marshmallow-soft four posters and deep sofas with views over the hills – the perfect spot to lose oneself in the paper. Dinner at North Devon View Restaurant is a celebration of local ingredients (including lobster and ham hock), expertly prepared and elegantly presented, while the spa is a sophisticated haven of tranquillity.
