The drawing room (with log burner), sitting room and den (leading out to a patio) are all interconnected providing ideal space for easy living. One bedroom with en-suite shower room provides accommodation on this level.

First floor.
There are six bedrooms (and four shower/bathrooms, of which two are en-suite) all have views over the estate. They are furnished with extremely comfortable beds and period furniture, many rooms retain their original fireplaces (not in use).

Keepers Cottage.
A delightful cottage with its own walled garden where you will find the heated outdoor pool. There is a fully fitted spacious kitchen and sitting area which leads on to two bedrooms and a shower room. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and two shower/bathrooms (one en suite).

The Coach House.
The converted coach house provides an area for indoor games with table tennis, table football and a snooker table. It is also licensed for wedding civil ceremonies and makes an ideal party venue, as the games equipment can be easily moved to create plenty of space.

The Grounds.
In front of the house is a natural lake with its own island gazebo and to the west of the property is woodland featuring many rare and specimen trees. There is an outdoor heated swimming pool (open May - September) and a large hot tub in the courtyard. You will also find a two acre spring fed fishing lake which borders onto a newly planted cider apple orchard. The grounds of this big house are spectacular and lend themselves to a range of country pursuits (archery, fishing, clay shooting to name a few) so your group can stay and play without ever having to leave site!

Ideal family property
A wonderful country house with beautiful grounds. There was plenty of room for us all, 24 people with ages ranging from 10 months to 73 years. We made the most of the fine weather days, swimming in the pool and paddle boarding on the lake. When the rains came there was still plenty to do in the games room or in the comfortable lounges. The accomodation was only over two storeys which was ideal for the smaller members of the family.

Great house and location
We had a fantastic weekend for my birthday this year. The house is awesome - fantastic facilities for a weekend of relaxing, cooking and enjoying the countryside. Good local pubs as well. Thoroughly recommend the property and the service.

Outstanding!
We enjoyed a fantastic Easter weekend at Widcombe Grange, along with a big group of friends (5 other families). The house is beautiful and spacious and the kitchen is well supplied with all the equipment you might need. The gardens were outstanding. We could not have asked for more from our stay there and will definitely go back.

Lovely house, great venue
We booked Widcombe Grange for a family 80th birthday celebration. Did our own catering and made our own entertainment so can only really comment on the accommodation, but that was superb... everyone had a great time. Anthony was very helpful. Enjoyed the hot tub, lovely grounds, beautiful dining room and games room in particular. So much to do we didn’t get a chance to make the most of it - so will have to go back!
