About Venue

Located within 20 acres of Devon countryside on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, Colehayes Park is a private country estate and exclusive-use event venue combining Georgian manor house accommodation, landscaped grounds and highly flexible event spaces within a secluded rural setting. Positioned near Cullompton and within easy reach of Exeter, the estate has become well known for weddings, large group stays, corporate retreats and private celebrations centred around its relaxed house-party atmosphere and extensive accommodation offering.

Originally built in the 17th century and later expanded into a Georgian manor house, the estate blends historic architecture with a more informal and flexible hospitality approach than many traditional country house venues. Colehayes Park is particularly attractive for clients seeking exclusive-use privacy, multi-day events and residential experiences where guests can fully occupy and personalise the estate.

Surrounded by rolling Devon countryside and woodland whilst remaining accessible from the M5 and Exeter, the venue offers a strong balance between rural seclusion and practical accessibility.

Event Spaces

The Manor House

At the centre of the estate is the Georgian Manor House, offering elegant reception rooms, lounges and dining spaces suitable for private dining, networking events, house parties and residential gatherings. Original fireplaces, period detailing and countryside views help create a relaxed but characterful country house atmosphere.

The Ballroom

The estate’s Ballroom provides a flexible event space suitable for dining, celebrations, presentations, live entertainment and wedding receptions. The room can be adapted for both formal and informal event styles depending on the client’s requirements.

Outdoor Estate & Grounds

One of Colehayes Park’s defining features is its extensive outdoor estate, including lawns, woodland, fire pits and countryside terraces that support outdoor ceremonies, summer receptions, wellness activities and team-building events. The estate setting naturally lends itself to relaxed outdoor hospitality and immersive multi-day events.

Corporate Retreats & Residential Events

Alongside weddings and private celebrations, the estate regularly hosts leadership retreats, wellness events, creative residencies and team away days. The combination of accommodation, outdoor space and exclusive-use flexibility makes the venue particularly attractive for residential corporate events.

Accommodation

Colehayes Park offers extensive on-site accommodation across the manor house, cottages and converted estate buildings, allowing the venue to host large residential groups and multi-day events. Accommodation flexibility is one of the venue’s strongest commercial differentiators within the Devon events market.

Facilities and Services

Colehayes Park offers exclusive-use hire, self-catering flexibility, outdoor event areas, accommodation, parking and tailored event support. The venue’s relaxed and adaptable approach allows clients significant freedom to personalise their events and create bespoke experiences across the estate.

Its combination of countryside privacy, extensive accommodation and informal country house atmosphere positions Colehayes Park as one of Devon’s strongest group retreat and exclusive-hire venues.

Location and Access

Situated on the edge of Dartmoor National Park near Bovey Tracey, Colehayes Park enjoys a secluded countryside setting surrounded by woodland, gardens and open parkland while remaining easily accessible from across Devon and the South West. Located just a five-minute drive from the A38 Devon Expressway between Exeter and Plymouth, the venue offers the tranquillity of a rural retreat without sacrificing convenient transport links. Extensive on-site parking is available for guests and suppliers, with dedicated access routes for event setup and deliveries, making the estate well suited to conferences, retreats, private celebrations and exclusive hire events. The principal event areas are easily accessible, and the expansive grounds provide ample space for marquees, outdoor activities and large-scale event production.
