About
Lympstone Manor Hotel, Restaurant and Vineyard
Located overlooking the Exe Estuary and Jurassic Coast in East Devon, Lympstone Manor Hotel, Restaurant and Vineyard is one of the South West’s most prestigious luxury country house hotels and fine dining destinations, combining Michelin-starred hospitality, boutique accommodation and vineyard experiences within a restored Grade II listed Georgian manor estate. Created by acclaimed chef Michael Caines, the property has become internationally recognised for its luxury hospitality offering, panoramic estuary views and refined contemporary country house styling.
Originally known as Courtlands House, the estate dates back to the 18th century and was extensively restored before opening as Lympstone Manor in 2017. The venue blends historic Georgian architecture with contemporary luxury interiors, Michelin-starred dining, vineyard experiences and highly personalised service, creating an atmosphere that feels elegant, modern and distinctly experience-led rather than traditionally formal.
Set within 28 acres of gardens, woodland and vineyard overlooking the Exe Estuary, the estate delivers one of Devon’s most exclusive hospitality and private event environments.
