Our Story

Four Centuries of Devon Hospitality

The Manor House began life in 1603 as the home of Thomas Trock, a Cullompton clothier whose trade helped build the town's fortune on Devon wool. His house, extended in 1718 and little altered since, remains one of Cullompton's finest buildings: a Grade II* listed testament to a town once among the wealthiest in the West Country.

Today the house continues in the spirit it began: a place to be received well. Oak panelling, wide staircases and tall sash windows sit alongside quiet, considered comforts, so guests might feel the weight of history without ever feeling it as a burden.

Taste

Restaurant 1603

Restaurant 1603 takes its name from the year the house was built, and its ingredients from the fields around it. Menus change with the seasons and lean heavily on Devon: fish from the south coast, beef and lamb from the Culm Valley, and vegetables from our own kitchen garden where the season allows.

Afternoon tea is served daily in the Panelled Lounge, and private dining is available for parties of up to twenty four in the Oak Hall.
