The Old Parsonage

Rated 9.6 in 412 reviews. 7 rooms.

The Old Parsonage is very special. It dates back to 1680 when it was built by Henry and Mary Hole. Their son John inherited the house and married into the Champney Family of Orchardleigh and soon gentrified the house with the addition of the imposing front consisting of a long hallway internally and two frontal wings which gives a very French feel like a chateau to the house. The family died out and the house became the property of the Duchy of Cornwall and since then it had regular visits from the royal family including Prince Charles The Prince of Wales, King Edward V111 and King George V1, see history on website. The staircase is special with it's fluted newel posts and alternate barley twist balusters surmounted by a heavily moulded handrail. Pevsner in his Architectural Guides describes the house as:Fne house perhaps c1680-90 of red sandstone. Since the 1960' it has been a restaurant with rooms and now it is a very successful B&B with TripAdvisor 5* rating and is loved and cared for by it's present owners Brian & Charlotte Murray
