Glorious Devon and Cornwall

Discover Elegance Amidst Devon's Enchantment at Great Bidlake Manor

Embark on a journey through the serene heart of Devon to find a hidden gem—Great Bidlake Manor.

In the neary village of Bridestowe, you’ll encounter the warm embrace of local hospitality at our friendly pub —a cozy retreat where laughter mingles with the clinking of glasses serving regional beers and hearty fare. Our well-stocked village store and Post Office stands ready to cater to your everyday needs with genuine service.

Perched close to Dartmoor National Park, Great Bidlake Manor is your gateway to 365 square miles of breathtaking landscape—an expanse that has inspired legendary tales and cinematic masterpieces like 'War Horse' and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s 'The Hound of the Baskervilles.' Traverse this dramatic terrain by foot or horseback, or ascend beyond in a hot air balloon for vistas so enchanting they seem plucked from Tolkien’s Middle-earth.

Just beyond our sanctuary lie ancient market towns steeped in history—Launceston, Tavistock, and Okehampton—each brimming with their own stories waiting for you to uncover. A brief 30-minute drive connects you to Exeter's majestic Cathedral cityscape and modern conveniences such as the M5 motorway and Exeter Airport—with frequent flights linking you back to London City Airport among other destinations.

Convenience meets tranquility as Great Bidlake Manor sits just a stone's throw from vital arteries like the A30 dual carriageway—close enough for ease yet distant enough for undisturbed peace. This prime location is your springboard into all of Devon and Cornwall.
