“Huntsham Court is a residence of true Gothic splendour…Beautifully restored from its mid C19th origins, each bedroom is quirkily individual but all are designed with comfort in mind. Perfect for milestone birthdays, holidays with friends and weddings.”

“If anyone wants to host the quintessential English country house party, this is the place.”
Hudson Heritage Awards who named Huntsham Court as their 2014 UK Winner of the celebrated “Heritage Commercial Innovation Award”.
“When we stumbled upon Huntsham Court we knew we had struck gold. Dripping with Downton-esque glamour but with a refreshing ethos.”
Patricia Campbell, Elle, 2013.
“Shades of Oscar Wilde, Noel Coward and the Cliveden Set, it’s a perfect stage for a magical and quintessential English country house party.”
Roger St. Pierre, Belfast Telegraph, 2013
Your very own stately home-from-home is the best way to describe the magnificent Huntsham Court. From the moment I stepped over the threshold, the charm and feel of the place started to work its magic. Aside from the jaw-dropping grandeur, the immaculate décor and stop-stare features at every turn, the wonderfully warm, welcoming atmosphere was one of my first and most enduring impressions. Your Devon and Cornwall Magazine 2019
“One of the finest Victorian Gothic private mansions in the country. This is a luxury venue that is your home, first and foremost a house to be lived in and enjoyed.”
Eugene Costello, The Travel Magazine, 2013.
WEDDINGS
Huntsham Court is a magnificent piece of history, perfect as your country house Devon wedding venue - a unique, award winning venue in the South West. Whether you want a magical day or a weekend full of friends and family getting to know each other, you can create memories that you will treasure for a lifetime without compromise. The whole house is exclusively yours for your entire stay under our guiding principle of ‘your stay, your way’. At Huntsham Court, almost everyone can sleep under the one massive roof in vast bedroom suites so you have a real house party for the whole stay with the wedding as a focal point and all the fun of having morning coffee together in your PJs, secret midnight snacks as well as the big formal moments. We want to be as flexible as possible to enable you to choose every last detail yourself.
Civil Ceremonies – indoors
We are also licensed as a Devon wedding venue for civil wedding, marriage or partnership ceremonies indoors in the main reception rooms including the panelled Great Hall, the book-clad Library, the bright and airy Yellow Drawing Room and the Diamond Room.
Civil Ceremonies – outdoors
If you prefer an outdoor wedding marriage or partnership ceremony, the Old Dovecote in the garden is also licensed, set looking over rolling fields and under ancient trees. Alternatively you can have your ceremony under the arched double entrance doors looking west, with your guests sat in the sun on the western terrace. You can even change your mind last minute if the weather changes! Alternatively you can do the legal bit inside and have a humanist blessing or service anywhere in the garden or grounds that you fancy.
Church weddings
If you would prefer a church wedding or blessing this can be arranged either at the picturesque All Saints Church on our driveway (the church even has brilliant bell ringers!) or otherwise there are many other local churches of all denominations locally from cute village churches to grand marble clad ones.
