Beautifully Appointed Bedrooms At Rockbeare Manor, Near Exeter – Part 1
From the moment that we first looked around Rockbeare Manor with a view to turning it from erstwhile family home, to an exceptional exclusive wedding and events venue, it was clear to see how well this Devon Manor could be transformed to include a collection of stylish guest bedrooms.
The Georgian proportions, high ceilings, intricate cornicing, period features, and not forgetting the unbelievable views, were all features that have added to the overall feel of the thirteen beautifully designed bedrooms that have now been created.
Making each room feel special was important to us from the start. The existing features of the house have of course contributed to that. Huge sash cord windows create such wonderful light throughout and original fireplaces can be found at every turn, showing the character of this 18th Century Devon Manor.
The design and furnishing of the individual rooms however, has been down to Bristol based Alexandra Cork who was behind the overall look of the interiors project. She worked assiduously to make sure that the quality of the finish and attention to detail was been to the highest standard.
Alex's vision for Rockbeare Manor, which is only 10 minutes from Exeter, was to create elegant luxury; chic, stylish and with a finish that speaks for itself. This has certainly been achieved, and it is befitting of a building that has so much grace. The furnishings, soft tones and lighting were all chosen to reflect the charm of the building, but with a luxurious and contemporary edge.

One of our two family suites was previously known as the ‘Blue John’ room due to the purple-striped stone used in the feature fireplace, a gem which was beloved by the Romans and sought after in the 18th Century. The views from this first floor room are among the best in the house – almost panoramic.
Every bedroom has a modern, wet room style shower with accompanying bath – some of which are freestanding in the bedroom itself, giving a lavish feel.
The windows have been dressed in made to measure fabrics from the Grand Palais range using a soft colour palette with a botanical feel, really complimenting the Regency inspired scheme used on the feature walls. They also frame the views perfectly – which are far-reaching to Haldon Belvedere and even Dartmoor.
Since 2017, when the bedrooms were created, they have continued to be a popular addition to every wedding and special event that we host at Rockbeare Manor.
The rooms at Rockbeare Manor are reserved for the guests of those hosting a wedding or event at our special Devon venue. For more information please take a look at the accommodation page of our website, or contact the events team on 01392 797 444.
