A gorgeous Elizabethan gem, The Pig at Combe is nestled in the Otter Valley near Honiton, Devon.

Ph: The Pig at Combe

Wood and stone floors, original panelling and stucco, vintage framed insect collections and lampshades made from saris: secluded and honey-coloured, this Elizabethan manor transformed into a hotel, welcomes guest with a cocktail bar, an open fire and comfortable sofa. Everything seems to say “relax and have fun”.

The Pig at Combe, Vegetable Garden

There’s a saying in Devon that ‘if you stick your finger in the ground it will grow’. With such a fertile territory it was only possible to propose a kitchen at km 0 (or almost). The vegetable garden is the beating heart of The Pig at Combe. To complete it, the herb garden and the infusion garden. Fishing is local (the coast is 8 miles); the cheeses come from Devonshire and the meat is locally bred by Honiton's butchers. To set the table, coloured glasses and vintage dishes.

The original Georgian Kitchen with its range and fittings has become a private dining room, that is is suitable for parties of up to 14 guests.

If you are a fan of brocante, do not miss Honiton, the antiques capital of the South West: why not walk the Bric-a-Brac trail with 38 shops to wile the afternoon away?
