Embrace the Last Days of Winter at The Horn of Plenty

As February begins and draws another Winter to a close here in the beautiful Devon countryside, there's something truly magical to experience at our award-winning country house hotel. The landscape around The Horn of Plenty is poised on the cusp of transformation – bare branches showing the first hint of buds, early snowdrops pushing through the earth, and that unmistakable freshness in the air that whispers of Spring's imminent arrival.

Cosy Luxury Meets Natural Beauty

This is perhaps the most enchanting time to experience our luxurious rooms and beautiful gardens. While frost still decorates the lawns in the morning, our guests can retreat to the warmth of crackling log fires in our elegant lounge. There's unparalleled comfort in curling up on the sofa with a good book, a fine wine from our carefully curated cellar, and views across the stunning Tamar Valley.

Our country house hotel provides the perfect sanctuary during these transitional weeks. Each of our luxurious rooms offers a peaceful haven where modern comforts blend seamlessly with period charm. Imagine waking to crisp winter mornings in a sumptuous bed, then taking a gentle stroll through our beautiful gardens to discover the earliest signs of spring – delicate hellebores, brave crocuses, and the distinctive scent of fresh earth coming back to life.

Award-Winning Fine Dining to Warm the Soul

February and early March showcase some of the finest seasonal produce in our award-winning fine dining restaurant. Our talented culinary team celebrates the last of winter's hearty ingredients – think rich game, earthy root vegetables, and indulgent comfort dishes – while beginning to introduce the vibrant, delicate flavours that herald spring's approach.

Dining at The Horn of Plenty during this season is a journey through the changing landscape itself. Our fine dining experience reflects the Devon countryside beyond our windows, with locally sourced ingredients transformed into exquisite dishes that celebrate both tradition and innovation. After dinner, retire to the warmth of our drawing room, where log fires provide the perfect accompaniment to coffee and petit fours.
