Devon's very own treasure, Combe Thatch House has picked up an 'Award for Excellence' this month from Conde Nast Johansens. The title of 'Best Luxury Villa, Apartment or Chalet' has gone to Honiton's 16-bedroom Elizabethan Manor, which is set amongst the exquisite expanses of Devon's wild countryside.
The award's accompanying blurb reveals why it was selected as a winner in this category: "Discover this wildly romantic and achingly luxurious 450-year-old Elizabethan manor. Combe House Devon offers stunning views, great food, wine and hospitality. One of Devon's finest estates, the House is set in tranquil gardens surrounded by 3,500 acres of country estate where Arabian horses roam freely" - and why it's one of the county's top wedding venues.
The 2014 UK & Ireland Awards for Excellence were recently revealed at the 32nd annual Awards Dinner held at London's plush The May Fair Hotel, and are renowned for their recognition of excellence.
