Renowned hotel in beautiful West Country village up for sale
The property has 16 letting bedrooms and lies in the village of Exford
A charming 17th-century country house near Devon is up for grabs. The Crown Hotel at Exford is set up as a 16-bedroom coaching inn and is brimming with character.
It comes with about three acres of land, stables, and a separate three-bedroom cottage for the owners.
The hotel has been owned and run by the same family since 2005, employing up to eight staff members and operating all year round. In recent years, the bar and restaurant have been closed during lunchtimes due to the owners' preference, but this could easily be changed.
