Snurridge House

Standing proudly amidst Devonshire countryside on the edge of Exmoor National Park, this holiday property is set within extensive 22-acre grounds and gardens, which include a lake. The owners have lovingly restored it to its present glory and it is well placed for easy access to the main A361, from which North Devon can be easily explored. Dating back to around 1816, Snurridge House is an imposing and impressive detached house. It offers guests a rare opportunity to stay at one of the finest Regency properties in England. Locally it is fondly referred to as ‘The Doll’s House’ due to its appearance. It is reputed that Snurridge House was originally commissioned by Lord Fortescue of Filleigh Estates for his mistress at the time, whilst he remained in residence at Filleigh House just a short distance away! The property commands fine views of outstanding surrounding countryside from its elegant windows.
