About This Villa

Nestled in the heart of Devon’s breathtaking South Hams, Landscove House & Barns offers the perfect venue for unforgettable celebrations, family get-togethers, or corporate retreats. This stunning estate features the Grade II listed Landscove House, a majestic manor steeped in history, surrounded by acres of lush countryside. Sleeping up to sixteen guests in eight opulent suites, the house exudes timeless elegance. The Barns offer equally luxurious boutique accommodation, housing up to twelve guests across six beautifully restored cottages and suites, with space for an additional eight on plush sofa beds. In total, up to thirty-six fortunate guests can experience the ultimate in comfort and style.

Whether hosting a wedding, special event, or retreat, the estate is a picture-perfect setting. Marquees can be elegantly set up in the meadow, while the remarkable glass-roofed barn—seating up to 180—provides a stunning backdrop for dinner, exhibitions, or corporate functions. Guests can indulge in the finest amenities, from Italian marble-clad bathrooms with freestanding egg baths and Molton Brown toiletries, to sumptuously dressed beds and expansive living spaces. The meticulously maintained grounds feature a sparkling pool, serene lake, and babbling stream, all set within several hundred acres of pristine countryside, perfect for exploration and relaxation. The culinary delights are endless, with options for delicious breakfasts, fine dining, and a range of activities and excursions to keep guests entertained.

Landscove House, originally built around 1840, has been beautifully restored to blend classic charm with modern luxury. With its minimalist yet opulent design, the bedrooms boast romantic allure, while the vibrant living spaces provide energy and warmth. The barn complex, dating back to the late 1700s, showcases the timeless beauty of hand-sawn timbers, exposed rafters, and original dairy features, making it a stunning example of Devon’s historic architecture. Each barn has been thoughtfully renovated, with many offering private kitchens and adaptable layouts to suit any group.

In addition to the manor and barns, the estate features several unique spaces, including a converted WWII Nissen Hut, the Dairy Kitchen (perfect for cookery classes or private chef events), and the versatile Glasshouse, which comfortably seats up to 180 guests. The estate’s conservatory accommodates intimate gatherings of up to 24 guests.

Inside the manor, no detail has been overlooked in the creation of luxurious entertaining spaces. The ground floor boasts a grand drawing room with a striking fireplace, a cozy reading room with deep red accents, an elegant dining room with exposed stone walls, and a spacious open-plan kitchen and family room. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with professional-grade appliances, two fridges, four ovens, and a vast island that invites social gatherings. Upstairs, five exquisite bedrooms feature super king-size beds, ensuite bathrooms with indulgent baths and wet room showers, and views of the idyllic estate. The top floor offers three more enchanting rooms, some with feature fireplaces and unique character, like Bedroom Six, with exposed beams, a freestanding bath, and a wet room shower.

The Barns offer a selection of charming accommodations with sleek kitchens and underfloor heating, all designed with style and comfort in mind. From the romantic four-poster bed in the first cottage to the spacious studio with a king-size sleigh bed, each unit blends rustic character with modern luxury. The barn courtyard, once home to dairy cows, is now a private, gated area perfect for children or peaceful moments in the sun.

The grounds are equally impressive, with tranquil lounges, manicured lawns, secret gardens, and an idyllic lily pond. The heated pool is open year-round, offering a serene spot to unwind. Towering trees, lush greenery, and the old oak meadow surround this private sanctuary, ensuring complete relaxation and privacy.

At Landscove House & Barns, luxury, history, and natural beauty converge to create a setting that will make any occasion unforgettable.
