About Lurley Hideaways
Lurley Manor
Thought to date from the late 15th/early 16th century, Lurley Manor is a lovely example of an open hall house and is built of rendered cob and stone under a slate roof.
At Lurley Hideaways, we specialize in offering unique escapes that capture the essence of countryside living in Mid Devon. Our mission is to provide guests with unforgettable experiences, blending nature's beauty with modern comforts.
We are committed to exceptional guest experiences, transparency, and a dedication to preserving the natural environment. Let us help you in creating cherished memories and an immersive escape.
Grounds & Setting
Five acres of gardens and woodland surround the manor, with walks that wind past orchards, wildflowers and ancient trees. In every season, there’s something new — bluebells in spring, long summer evenings, golden leaves in autumn, and starlit winter skies.

Bluebell Cottage A very peaceful stay in lovely natural surroundings + This was a real find, a lovely quirky little cottage near to Exmoor. It had an enclosed garden that my spaniel loved and everything inside had been so lovingly put together. The wood burner created a lot of heat and made for cosy evenings. So quiet and peaceful I must come back in the summer to fully enjoy the outside. It was also excellent value for such a special stay!

LURLEY RETREATS & GATHERINGS - The medieval Lurley Manor has so much to offer those who dream of wedding, handfasting or renewing their vows with nature and the ancient trees 🌳 bearing witness. Through the orchard, your guests step through the moongate, affirming that they recognise the cycles of life, the transition between the mundane and spiritual, also wishing you good fortune in your lives together. The great Beech with one arm lowered offering a natural altar. The property boasts 3 freshwater pools that run into each other as their silver stream tinkles down the hill. The final pool with its ivy covered doorway for you to step through should you wish to begin your transition with a cleansing 💧 ceremony the day before your wedding. The old double tennis court is now beautiful grass surrounded by the sentinels of this woodland area, perfect for bell tents (available to hire) or a spot to consider for your reception tipi or marquee. There is accommodation available... the whimsical Bluebell Cottage for 2, The Annexe with 3 bedrooms. Then there are a number of rooms in the Manor itself.
