Welcome to Hotel Endsleigh, situated on the edge of Dartmoor, one of the greatest, unspoilt natural areas left in England, perfect for walking, riding and fishing.
The first stone was laid at Endsleigh in 1812 by Georgina, Duchess of Bedford and her three eldest sons. The Bedford family owned a third of Devon and decided this was the prettiest place in the county to build their house. Endsleigh was designed by Sir Jeffry Wyattville as a cottage orné.
The family used it as a shooting and fishing lodge; they opened it just once a year when they arrived with servants, children, silver and animals in tow. Georgina was a passionate gardener and lover of the outdoors and Humphry Repton created an outstanding garden for her. Both the house and the garden are Grade I listed.
Endsleigh's interior, designed by Olga Polizzi features an unpretentious mix of simple textures, linen, contemporary art and period Regency panelling. The Hotel features stunning views to the garden and the River Tamar below.
Tavistock, a lovely small market town, is five minutes away. The covered Pannier Market was built by the Bedford family in local stone and should be seen; it brings together small shops and stalls and a justly famous cheese shop. Endsleigh is close to several beautiful National Trust and English Heritage properties and gardens. If you just want to unwind and relax, read a book from our library in front of our many open fires with a cream tea, or glass of champagne.
The charming Tamar Valley railway runs from nearby Gunnislake to Plymouth, where you can see the historic naval dockyards or take to the sea. There is also a pleasure boat that runs between Calstock and Plymouth at certain times of the year. Exeter Cathedral is a little further away but well worth a visit.
