Setting, Location & Activites
The hotel, standing in its own secluded gardens, including fruit, herb and vegetable plots for the kitchen, nestles on the lush, sunny side of the river Erme valley, on the outskirts of Ermington village, and is blessed with stunning countryside views and walks.
Breakfast, tea and pre dinner drinks are enjoyed on the sunny terrace and a gentle stroll around the gardens reveals several secret corners for those precious moments of solitude.
