MacMyDay - If you get to Gidleigh Park you might look at nearby Lympstone Manor, the brand-new hotel opened by Michael Caines, the long-standing chef at Gidleigh Park now striking out as the West Country's answer to Raymond Blanc. The house looks beautiful and there are views across the Exe estuary, though there isn't anything else as yet, except for the restaurant of course. Prices are pitched at the luxury level.
