Overview
Newport Manor is a charming, quintessentially English period home that imbibes all the eccentricity of an English country estate, brimming with vibrant character, set within exquisite layers of pristine gardens.
The Regency style facade of this delightful home is an elegant monochrome with distinctive wrought-iron portico offering a cloistered veranda and elegant balcony, overlooking the primrose-lined pathways, pretty trellis covered arbours and expansive lawns.
Guests will enter an enchanting little world, suspended in time, bursting with ornate touches, period architecture and lavish yet cosy interiors. Full of surprises, this sumptuous home comes with its own series of converted out houses, providing spice and variety: a wonderful bright summer house, a glamorous bubbling hot tub, and its very own pub, the Frog and Pheasant, with games room and timber bar set within welcoming burnt orange walls and a genuine pub atmosphere!
Newport Manor, is set within the heart of the Devonshire countryside, down a winding lane, with far reaching country views. It is has been finished with verve and charisma, executed with both comfort and elegance in mind, to accommodate large parties of up to twenty-four guests.
This quirky, rural idyll offers inviting interiors: an eclectic blend of open fires, lavish features with all the modern fittings required for a luxury family break. Understated luxury is the tone of this home!
The kitchen offers a bright, airy and sociable space for the group to convene at the end of the day, with a large central breakfast bar and views across the gardens; top-range appliances are provided along with double range five hob stove and traditional Aga.
The modern rustic feel is interspersed with unadulterated glamour at Newport Manor. The drawing room offers a little formal indulgence; deep, regal crimsons and antique dresser, along with Art Deco mirror and opulent chandelier. The outdoors beckon, through the large bay French window doors. In contrast, the lounge has a laid-back feel, soft earthy tones, comfortable sofas and a wall mounted television; ideal for evening downtime.
The dining room is finished with dove greys and Georgian panelled walls, a vivacious setting for colourful family meals. Newport Manor is a secluded space where the family can escape the bustle of modern living and reconnect, enjoy the grounds, cook together and take a stroll to the private pub for a game of snooker or darts!
The bedrooms are sumptuously finished, tranquil and elegant spaces with crisp cotton bed linen, generous proportions and unique touches. The luxury tone is apparent: plush fabrics, accents of sophisticated colour, suave finishes including ornate lighting, antique furnishing and glamorous adornments.
The second floor has a charming attic-like feel with sloping ceilings and exposed timber beams.
Newport Manor boasts one and a half acres of land; fully executed for outdoor living, parties and celebrations, there are built-in speakers by the summer house and barbecue, so whether it be rocking out some tunes with a glass of bubbles in the hot tub, or a sedate game of croquet on the lawns, this home has it covered, with style, charisma, and abundant eccentric charm!
What you should know…
- The hot tub is not suitable for children under the age of nine; this is a little grown-up indulgence perhaps with a glass of fizz!
- A car is needed, to explore this beautiful and windswept part of Devon - there is ample private parking on site.
- This is a well proportioned English country home ideal for self-catering and slowing the pace of life as a family or group, rather than a more commercial serviced resort experience

Best Suited For: All AgesNewport Manor is an enchanting, majestic idyll for children of all ages. This home offers unadulterated rural charm, and endless grounds to explore and alight small imaginations - away from the trappings of modern living. Here, children can safely roam, enjoy the delights of nature, and step back in time.
The home is well executed for a family stay, complete with high chairs and travel cots, or twin bedrooms - children will particularly enjoy the romantic attic bedrooms, and the novelty of the freestanding baths. This opulent home offers space, variety, and great historical intrigue for children, whilst the gardens are full of magic and mystery! The well-proportioned kitchen and dining spaces will make meals easy, or quick snacks can be had the breakfast bar.
When downtime is in order, there are a couple of wall mounted televisions, an array of games and entertainment opportunities. Older children may even enjoy sneaking off to the local pub for a game of pool or table football!
A meal in the summer house or on the lawns will be as good as it gets on a summers day, whilst North Devon has abundant family-oriented activities.
For rainy days, there is a cinema in Barnstable, a ten-pin bowling alley, a leisure centre with indoor swimming and a large soft play centre for children at Funderzone in Whiddon Valley.
For keen cyclists, the Tarka Trail offers a flats section to hunt wildfowl along the banks of the Taw; finishing at the Boston Tea Party cafe will be a delightful treat at the end of an afternoon’s exertion.
