Garden

The Old Rectory is set in just over three acres on a terraced ridge overhanging the Avon Valley and looking south west to Dartmoor. There are many unusual trees and shrubs, including a ginkgo and a handkerchief tree. In spring there are hundreds of daffodils and many camellias

We have several large summer flowering beds full of geraniums, roses, hostas, acers and echinops, and a wide variety of summer flowers.


Drive

A large pond on the lawn is alive with frogs , newts and fish and a second pond along the drive is landscaped with gunnera and tree ferns.

Woodpeckers, buzzards, nuthatches, finches and - at night - bats and owls can be seen at different times of the year


Water Lilies

There are many quiet places where guests can
sit and enjoy the peace of the garden and the
views of Dartmoor.
