The Restaurant light, fresh, seasonal & exciting sums up the style of the cooking. The commitment to only grow and source organically and to select the very best local suppliers, gives Percy's a unique edge in treating you to a memorable meal. Tina's natural affinity and daily connection with the land ensures that her succinct menu is the very essence of local produce. Widely regarded as Devon's top female chef, the unrivalled dining experience at Percy's creates a new recipe for elegance and excellence.

Tina Bricknell-Webb's home reared lamb is a masterclass in organic farming. Veterans of Devon's versatile weather, the fabulously marbled meat of this Jacob / Suffolk / Texel bespoke X tastes simply outstanding. A wide selection of seafood, clear eyed and fresh with ocean spray, is bid for at the daily fish auctions at nearby Looe and returns with Tony carefully packed in ice. Freshly laid eggs from our Black Rock chickens are collected each day, as are ochre yoked Indian Runner duck and goose eggs (an Embden / Buck Back X) between February and June. Food of this pedigree is rare. The home-grown vegetables, herbs and salad leaves are picked two hours before service, whilst organic duck and chicken are sourced from Exmoor. At certain times during the year a number of wild mushrooms including ceps, wood hedgehog and honey fungus are collected from the woodlands. Game is also in abundance and roe deer and rabbit taken straight from the Estate feature regularly on the menu.

Exclusive Use Important milestones such as 40th/50th & 60th birthdays, anniversaries, engagements etc. can be celebrated with added privacy by taking exclusive use of the whole hotel. Percy's own organic pork can be provided as a hog roast. A jazz band or classical trio/quartet can be arranged. Please telephone for details.  

The Estate
COOMBESHEAD ESTATE IS A LUSCIOUS, COLOURFUL EDEN, PACKED FULL OF ENCHANTING WILDLIFE AND MESMERISING VIEWS.

Fantastic walking & wildlife on the stunning 130 acre Estate.
An excellent base from which to explore all the gardens in Devon & Cornwall.

On arrival at Percy's you realise you have escaped into a tranquil paradise and the perfect place to recharge those tired batteries. Whether out walking on the 130 acres or simply relaxing on the patio, you are surrounded by clean air and beautiful countryside. Following a satisfying nights sleep and a dining experience to remember, you awake to a spectacular dawn chorus. 

Why not take a leisurely stroll around the Estate and forget the stresses of everyday life. Within minutes of setting off you feel completely detached from civilization, the trees and hedgerows forming the only boundaries in sight. Rays of golden sunshine highlight the different shades of green and provide the perfect setting to enjoy nature's unrehearsed symphonies. Woodpeckers add their distinctive calls as your companions for the trip, a black Labrador or two, guide you around the many beauty spots. 

Jacob sheep and horses graze peacefully on the pasture, the piglets are endearingly muddy and buzzards soar gracefully above. The mixture of new and mature woodland provides the perfect habitat for squirrels, rabbits, badgers & deer. Foxgloves adorn the sides of the shadowy woodland and contrast brilliantly with the open, undulating fields. A mixture of long grasses, buttercups and soft rushes encircle the calm waters of the trout lakes and mirror the reflections of the colourful and utterly captivating dragonflies. Just three species short, the Estate is tantalizingly close to being a site of special scientific interest (SSSI) for these beautiful insects.

The landscape becomes increasingly more dramatic as you venture further from the hotel and the views are an artist's dream as you look down the Carey valley stretching towards the horizon. Pastel coloured fields blend into each other and extend all the way to the unmistakable Brentor Church as it marks the start of the rugged and untamed wilds of Dartmoor beyond. Even at night time the setting is enchanting, as millions of stars fill the clear, unpolluted sky to put on an captivating show of natural light and illumination. If you're lucky enough to be here as the snow is falling then you will be in for a magical treat.
