A wonderful way to spend a weekend! This wine weekend was a present from our children for my Husband's 60th, and it was quite delightful. The attention to detail and hospitality were second to none, and Alistair and Carol, the perfect hosts. Our room was quite amazing, the food delicious, the location stunning; we could not have asked for more,... More

My husband received a gift voucher for the Devon Wine School, so I did something I never do - booked a trip without consulting Tripadvisor. Once we had booked I decided to have a little look to see what we could expect. I was amazed to read all the fabulous reviews, it's very rare to find somewhere that has all... More

We recently stayed overnight at the Devon Wine School for an 'Australian Wine Tasting' event. We had a great time. We arrived to a very warm welcome from Alistair. Our room was beautiful and decorated to the highest standard with lovely extras (e.g. candles) that most places do not think about. The evening was educational, fun and overall a thoroughly... More

We have just returned ( January 2012 ) from celebrating my 60th birthday at the Devon Wine school where Carol and Alastair were the perfect hosts making the occasion truly memorable. Our family party of 12, including my parents in their 80's and 2 young grandchildren, were looked after with such care and attention from the time we arrived on... More

One of the joys of staying at somewhere like the Devon Wine School is the anticipation of reliving the experience with a TripAdvisor review. My husband and I stayed here in January 2011. We needed a place to stay in the area for one night prior to shooting. The Devon Wine School was recommended to us by the owners of... More

This was our first time here and every hope was exceeded! Alastair and Carol's attention to detail and hospitality were second to none and we would recommend to anyone interested in learning about wine or even for just a great, relaxing weekend away. The accommodation and food were superb, the wine course fantastic and unpretentious - we will be coming... More

I have been treated to a week-end visit to the Devon Wine School by my wife as a 65th birthday present. What can I say but, WOW. The accommodation, food and location are absolutely superb. It may be tucked away in the depths of Devon but definately worth seeking out. Alastair offers a numerous and varied selection of wines for... More

Thank you very much for your review. We really enjoy the wine part of our business. It is great to have people come and share what is a beautiful location and try a whole range of different wines with good food.

The Devon Wine School is run by Alastair & Carol. Their home is immaculate and they've paid great attention to every detail. Every room is a wow! and it was easy to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Alastair is a great host and knows his wines without any pretence or lording it over those less-experienced. Carol is a great cook,... More

A wonderful welcome. Terrific food in delightful surroundings. A little bit of heaven with a bedroom to die for. Cannot recommend it enough. Great dinner there on our first night and we ate at the Cadleigh Arms on our second night - food is great there too. More
