PB hotel design editorial

A Regency manor house perched above the Exe estuary, with views that reach across tidal mudflats to the Devon hills beyond, gave Michael Caines the raw material for Lympstone Manor when he opened it in 2017 — his first solo venture after two decades at Gidleigh Park. The Grade II listed property, dating from around 1812, was extensively restored and reimagined under Caines's direction, its white-rendered facade and Bath stone dressings preserved while the interiors were entirely reconceived. The grounds include a working vineyard, one of the few planted in Devon, and the approach through mature parkland — glimpsed in the images alongside a large bronze sculptural piece near the forecourt — establishes the tone of considered ambition that runs throughout. Inside, the twenty-one rooms and suites carry a palette drawn directly from the estuary: deep teal velvets, soft greys, and warm champagne tones that shift between spaces. Bedrooms feature floor-to-ceiling deep-buttoned headboards in pale ivory and petrol blue, crystal globe pendants, and freestanding soaking tubs positioned to face the water. The dining room, where a bold black-and-white geometric marble floor anchors the composition, is dressed with powder blue velvet chairs and large-scale abstract paintings in oceanic greens and blues. The spa and outdoor pool pavilion, clad in cedar timber with a slate roof, adopts a deliberately contemporary register — a counterpoint to the Georgian house above that sharpens rather than dilutes the estate's character.

"Absolutely superb food was excellent and service was excellent I would like to say that Valery our waiter was superb he possessed the right attitude and demeanour and was in total demand. For a young man he will go a long way in his chosen profession. Totally on the ball. He will be an asset to any establishment that he works in. Also a mention for Bella, charming, industrious and filled in the example of Valery. Many to the other staff that we encountered Thank you Michael"

"We had a lovely 3 day stay and without doubt the huge strength and reason for visiting is the wonderful location. Service is very good and the restaurant is a lovely food experience. I think when considering the cost and comparisons the hotel has a tendency to over elaborate things rather than concentrating on elegance and quality but it is undoubtedly an iconic place to visit"

"The Manor is absolutely beautiful and set in a fabulous location with wonderful views. It was sumptuously decorated for the festive period and our room was beautiful. The staff were warm welcoming and friendly and the service was impeccable throughout our three night stay. Christmas Eve carols really set the mood for a fabulous Christmas however Christmas Day and Boxing Day felt very flat and quiet. We felt it was lacking atmosphere. The food was absolutely fantastic and exquisitely presented. We were however disappointed with The Christmas Dinner. The turkey was boned and rolled and contained tough bits of muscle and the roast potatoes were not crispy and fluffy in the middle. It was the only meal that we could fault but we were expecting Christmas Dinner to have been a lot better than it was We were however shocked at the final bill we were presented with as we had paid for an all inclusive stay and were not expecting to be charged an extortionate rate for water during dinner or to have service charge added on top of what we had already paid. Altogether we did not have much change out of £5000 Yes we did have a fabulous culinary experience but the price was definitely ott and left a nasty taste ."

"Fabulous lunch at this gorgeous hotel, lovely views and gardens. Great ambience polite, knowledgeable staff, silver service, nice cocktails. From the first step over the threshold, nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend. Loved the Decor in all the rooms on the ground floor! We will return if in the area in the future!"
