High in the Devon hills above the Taw/Torridge estuaries Webbery Manor Estate is an oasis of rural tranquillity. Steeped in history and with several noteworthy owners, Webbery Manor Estate was first mentioned in the Doomsday Book. It was given to Nicholas the Crossbowman, by a grateful William the Conqueror as a Saxon manor. In the 17th century it passed to the Lippincott family, one of whom set sail with the Mayflower flotilla to settle in America. In the 18th century, John Cutcliffe, the grandson of the owner, fought at the battle of Waterloo and was personally promoted by the Duke of Wellington.
Set in 45 acres of parkland and woods, with a variety of wild mushrooms and grazing sheep; deer, owls ( tawny, little and barn ) pheasants, various birds of prey and other wildlife are regularly sited. The delightful gardens have numerous specimen trees and banks of rhododendrons giving a spectacular spring display.. Espaliered fruit trees and cut flowers are grown in 2 walled kitchen gardens alongside vegetables including Romanesco, Cavelo Nero, and Pink Fir Apple potatoes to name a few. A wide range of tomatoes are cultivated in 3 greenhouses and the kitchen produce is complimentary subject to season and availability.
The lively market towns of Appledore and Bideford make an excellent day out, with a weekly market and working harbours. With so many pubs and restaurants to choose from in Appledore, Bideford, Barnstaple and Instow, why not treat yourself to a meal out before heading home? Fishing and horse riding can be found within 5 miles. Shops and pubs 5 miles with RHS Rosemoor about 15 minutes drive away.

The Webbery Estate is a wonderful hidden gem. Great countryside views and if you look hard you can see the sea too. The private grounds are big enough for a gentle stroll and the tennis court is perfect for something more active. The complimentary fruit and veg in the walled garden is a treat. The Linhay is a well appointed and spacious cottage, with two separate en-suite bedrooms. Perfect for families or friends. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. Check out the local farm shop; just down the road.
