Our Accommodation

It’s not often that you hear people singing the praises of a dual carriageway but in Ashburton, the whole town is grateful that the A38 was laid over the old railway track in the valley in the 1950’s. Because it meant that the small town centre, home to 1300 residents, is almost as it was some 200 years ago. Many of the Georgian-fronted houses conceal older buildings dating back to the 11th Century. And during Elizabethan times it was a place of great importance as a Stannary town, assaying the tin from the mines. There is the Exeter Inn, a favourite haunt of Sir Walter Raleigh, and the plaque near the ironmongers (A R Church) where General Fairfax was arrested.

Hare’s Lane Cottage at 76 East Street (above), where you will find our office, dates in parts from the 12th Century with latest additions in 1701 and Ashburton Court at 79 East Street (below) is a Georgian Merchant’s house with a stunning Victorian conservatory restored in 1992. Ashburton Court was the original site of the Cookery School started in 1994 by Stella West-Harling. Ashburton Cookery School has rooms and suites available for Students. These are within the two properties making up the School buildings.
