Summer Serenity at The Horn of Plenty
A Haven of Ambience and Culinary Excellence
Nestled in the heart of Devon’s tranquil Tamar Valley, The Horn of Plenty beckons you to experience an enchanting summer escape at our award-winning country house hotel. As the sun bathes the rolling hills in golden warmth, our hotel’s timeless ambience and breath-taking surroundings create a perfect retreat for those seeking peace, nature, and fine cuisine.
Step into The Horn of Plenty, where elegance meets comfort. The hotel’s warm, inviting interiors blend classic charm with modern luxury—think plush furnishings, soft lighting, and panoramic windows framing lush greenery. The peaceful location, far from the madding crowd of urban clamour, offers a sanctuary where you can unwind to the hearing nothing but the larks singing high in the sky or at dusk perhaps catch sight or hear the swoosh of a barn owl that visits us from time to time.
Our guests often marvel at the serenity, with goldfinches flitting among vibrant wildflowers, adding bursts of colour to the scene. This summer, our gardens are thriving under the care of our new gardener, Anthony, whose passion for wildlife-friendly planting has transformed our grounds into a verdant haven. Inspired by the Devon Wildlife Trust (www.devonwildlifetrust.org), Anthony has introduced native blooms like marsh marigolds and purple loosestrife, creating nectar-rich stations for bees, butterflies, and birds, making our gardens a living tapestry of biodiversity.
Beyond the hotel’s serene ambience, our fine cuisine restaurant elevates your stay to extraordinary heights. Renowned for its AA Rosettes, our dining experience showcases Devon’s bountiful produce, crafted into exquisite dishes by our talented head chef, Tom, and his team. Summer menus burst with flavour—think fresh seafood from local coastal waters, tender venison from Dartmoor, and vibrant vegetables produced by local farms. Dine on our terrace, overlooking the lush gardens, as the sun sets over the valley, or savour an intimate meal in our elegant restaurant, where each plate is a work of art.
Pair your meal with a selection from our new curated wine list, and let the evening unfold in tranquil bliss.
