As soon as the heavy oak door swings open, the warm ambience of Combe House makes you feel instantly at home.
From the antique furnishings to the grand staircase, the sense of historic charm is palpable, while the sumptuous design and comfy sofas makes it a chic yet snug setting to unwind.
Combe House Devon is an achingly romantic venue for a wedding. Imagine supping on champagne as horses gallop across the valley and the sun sets over Dartmoor. Or exchanging vows before a crackling log fire in stirring Elizabethan surrounds during a candlelit winter ceremony.
What’s more, the team at Combe House takes a highly personal and entirely flexible approach to weddings and do their utmost to incorporate your ideas and requests.

With its enormous fireplace and walls cloaked in carved oak panelling and 18th century portraits, The Great Hall is an atmospheric backdrop for a civil ceremony. Alternatively, a series of dining rooms offer intimate and equally distinctive ceremony settings: breathtaking views come with exquisite details from ornate chandeliers to beautiful hand painted murals. The nearby Church of St Michael’s makes an enchanting option for a church ceremony.
For celebrations exceeding 100 guests, a marquee reception may take place before dreamy vistas on the croquet lawn. The Head Chef will tailor a menu utilising the cream of local produce: that which isn’t sourced from the kitchen garden comes from a select group of top quality local suppliers.
There are sixteen light and airy bedrooms, each oozing individual character and effortless elegance. The newly weds may choose the pure escapism of Combe’s Thatch Cottage to spend the wedding night.
Tucked away in the woods, this charming little retreat is set within a private walled garden; a stunning synthesis of original features and contemporary furnishings makes it a breathtakingly beautiful place to commence married life.
