About Highbullen

Highbullen Hotel and Country Club is a characterful country house hotel located in north Devon.  It's within easy reach of Bristol and Exeter by car, and it's just two hours from London into a local train station making it easy to get away for a break at any time.

We like to think of ourselves as a traditional country house hotel with a slightly eccentric twist.  We strive to create a warm and informal atmosphere to encourage guests to feel immediately at home.  The countryside setting is pretty beautiful (even if we do say so ourselves!) and the quirky architecture and handpicked antiques combine to make Highbullen feel like a really special home away from home. 

We're big on fun, friendliness and laughter.  We want all our guests to be able to kick back and relax.  After all, that's what life is really all about isn't it?  Taking time to enjoy the finer things in life and spending time with friends and family?

When it comes to taking a holiday, everyone has a different set of requirements.  At Highbullen we like to spend time understanding what each individual guest needs from their time away.

Time off for parents

Time -off -parentsFor busy parents their wish list might include having a varied programme for the kids so that they can catch some precious time together to wind down by the pool.  Or perhaps the chance to enjoy a leisurely lunch on the terrace whilst the youngsters are exploring a whole range of activities.

Ultimate relaxation

RelaxationSome seek a quiet haven where they can enjoy scenic walks along the trails in our Ashaton Wood Nature Reserve in one another's company.  Relieve stress with our Spa, Health and Wellness programmes and return home not only rested but invigorated and ready for new challenges.

Sports and Adventure

Sport -and -adventureOthers look for somewhere they can throw themselves into their favourite sport and make the most of the golf, tennis and wide range of activities on offer.

The point is that needs differ and at Highbullen we listen intently to our guests and tailor holidays to suit their particular needs and interests.  We are lucky at Highbullen that within the 210 acre estate we have plenty of space to cater for those seeking tranquillity and solitude as well as for those looking to be really active.

A Place For All Seasons

The changing seasons lend new focus to the hotel throughout the year.  During high season and school holidays we really enjoy the busy atmosphere, meeting our regular family clients and watching the children grow up.  In autumn and spring the emphasis changes simply because our clients do. 

Whatever the season, this friendly hotel will leave you refreshed and relaxed. For help on how to make the most of your holiday, or to create a bespoke itinerary for your stay please contact us.
