Welcome to the stunning grade II listed Colleton East Wing. It holds a truly marvellous location, nestled within thirty-eight acres of private woodland and parkland, it offers those fortunate enough to stay the perfect country escape where they can enjoy total tranquillity. Its unspoilt location, set between Exmoor to the north and Dartmoor to the south, makes Colleton the perfect choice for those wishing to really explore Devon and all that it has to offer. While you will be staying in an area boasting rolling countryside, moorlands and valleys, the rugged north Devon coastline with its gorgeous beaches, is just a short car journey away.
The home boasts a rich and fascinating history and while it is believed to date back to Elizabethan times, Sir James Roupell Colleton purchased the Hall in 1833 and spent several years upgrading the house enhancing the existing Georgian features; today’s style and architecture reflect this. In recent years, Colleton Hall has been completely refurbished by the present owners, revealing original features and now seamlessly blends its original character and charm with modern interiors and updated furnishings. Colleton East Wing, which once served as the stables to the main hall, can comfortably accommodate up to six guests across three well-appointed bedrooms. The stylish East Wing has its own private entrance hall, living room, kitchen and three well-appointed bedrooms, two doubles, one of which boasts en-suite facilities, and a twin room, ideal for siblings or friends sharing. The two additional bedrooms share the use of a family bathroom.
The real wow factor can be found outside, the grounds are south facing which allows guests to enjoy wonderful countryside views. The expansive grounds offer the opportunity for long walks through the totally private woodland alongside the stream which flows to the Little Dart River. The children are bound to enjoy wildlife spotting with the opportunity to see a range of diverse wildlife (including red deer) and birdlife!

The perfect setting
Russell and Richard were the perfect hosts from start to finish. This was a trip that had been postponed from Christmas 2020 because of the pandemic so everyone was so looking forward to the break. Colleton Hall did not disappoint.
Russell and Richard had gone to great lengths to ensure that the hall was decorated perfectly with a stunning Christmas tree taking centre stage.
The hall it’s self was just the perfect setting with plenty of space for our party to enjoy. Being big foodies the the dining areas and kitchens where a big win for us and gave everyone a chance to get involved. Fully kitted out with everything you could possibly need. Perfection. We also enjoyed the spacious bedrooms and bathrooms again fitted out to a high specification with no detail missed from fluffy towels to crips bed sheets it’s safe to say everyone slept well.
Colleton Hall is the gift that keeps giving, once you venture out to explore the grounds it’s surprise after surprise from woody walks to private picnic areas where we relaxed with a little tipple while out enjoying everything the beautiful grounds have to offer. We had the best time and can’t wait to visit Colleton Hall again. -
A wonderful week away!
We had a wonderful week away at East Colleton Hall. The place is amazing, beautiful grounds and a very smart house. Russell couldn’t have been more generous or accommodating - he helped to find activities for us to do in Devon with our little children, and left an abundance of goodies in the house for our arrival. He also invited us over for drinks and canapés and gave us a tour of Colleton Hall. His hospitality and generosity were much appreciated and really added to our great week.

Brilliant
As you will be aware we enjoyed a short break at Colleton Hall (East Wing).
We had a wonderful welcome from the hosts when we arrived. The property was well presented and equipped with great attention to detail, including welcome gifts for our children, which helped them to settle in. The grounds are breathtaking and we enjoyed walking in the woods. All in all, a brilliant experience! -
Will definitely be back!
We stayed in the East Wing for a week and loved the cosy atmosphere and the great surroundings from the very first moment. Stunning views from each room, carefully selected antiques and paintings, a lovely terrace with barbecue and a running trail in the wood - nothing was missing. Even our son, a passionate fisherman, could stay with his tent at the lake overnight. Russell and Richard are fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome. Their day trip and restaurant suggestions were great! We are missing Colleton already and will definitely be back.
