Within minutes from the secluded coves and sandy beaches of Saunton Sands and Croyde, Trimstone Manor Hotel Country House Hotel sits in the picturesque and calm countryside of North Devon. Surrounded by forty-four acres of landscaped gardens, the hotel has a cosy old world feel to it and the Tyme Restaurant at Trimstone Manor purrs with similar warmth.

Head Chef Darren Smith exhibits his passion for food in his scintillating cooking and the focus is clearly on locally sourced produce. The menu features starters such as lightly spiced crab, prawn and lemongrass tartlet and pork tenderloin en croûte filled with apricot and walnut stuffing. To follow on the same inspirational lines, prime fillet of steak with a chorizo and sun-dried tomato sauce crushed on new potatoes and confit of duck leg appear amongst the main courses. Baileys and chocolate mousse with vanilla tuile biscuits is an excellent way to finish.

Trimstone Manor Country House Hotel also offers a beautiful collection of bedrooms and suites, a courtyard and extensive gardens where you can relax with a glass of wine.
