A trendy hotel and beautiful garden as part of the Broomhill Estate near Barnstaple in a stunning part of North Devon is coming to auction with a guide price of £900,000.
The seven-bedroom art hotel lies in an attractive woodland setting and also benefits from manager’s and owner’s accommodation. The hotel, dating from 1913, is accentuated by art décor throughout, with themed lounges, bedrooms and a nationally-renowned sculpture garden.
The property commands a prominent hillside position, boasting spectacular views of the valley. It has benefited from significant refurbishment under its current ownership to transform the hotel into a boutique, art-oriented offering.

Alex Kleiner, current Broomhill owner said: ”Broomhill represents an incredible nexus of nature and the arts, with a boutique art hotel, sculpture garden and award-winning restaurant in a woodland setting. This is a tremendous and unique opportunity for the right buyer to leverage significant value from our investment in a high-quality refurb, and further build upon all the great work done at Broomhill over the years benefitting the local community and the arts.”
Steven Cane, Savills Auctions said: “The sale of the Broomhill Art Hotel offers an exciting opportunity (for someone to) acquire this thoughtfully refurbished property in the sought after region of North Devon. Situated just outside the vibrant town of Barnstaple, the establishment serves as an ideal retreat for those looking to enjoy the surfing at Woolacombe and Saunton beaches as well as the rolling countryside of Exmoor National Park among other local attractions.
“The Broomhill Estate will be going under the hammer in our next auction, taking place on April 16, and we anticipate there to be a good level of interest on the day. Supplementary furnishings are available at an extra cost, facilitating a smooth transition for any potential buyer keen on reopening the hotel in time for the summer season.”
