Home/Where to stay/Tiverton/4- and 5-star hotels
4- and 5-star hotels in Tiverton
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star stays in and around Tiverton, from thatched country cottages and a castle hotel to a riverside inn and a farmhouse bed and breakfast. It is for travellers who want good-quality rooms in the Devon countryside, with the town centre within a short drive.
Staying in Tiverton
Tiverton sits in mid Devon, where the rivers Lowman and Exe meet, and the town is known for its castle, its old market streets and the canal that runs down to the Exe. Around it the land opens into green hills, farms and small settlements such as Bickleigh, Stoodleigh and Uplowman, so a stay here is as much about the countryside as the town itself. All the hotels on this shortlist lie outside the centre, between 3.9 km and 14.9 km away, and their addresses name those surrounding parishes.
That spread shapes who each place suits. Couples and small groups tend to take the cottages and farm conversions such as The Cow Shed and Westpitt Farm The Hay Loft, both with kitchens and Jacuzzis, at 4.1 km from the centre. Families have space and facilities like cots, gardens and playgrounds at larger houses including Bickleigh Castle Hotel. Business travellers are served by Upper Red Down, which has conference halls and lifts, and short breaks fit the inns and bed and breakfasts such as The Exeter Inn and Howden House Bed and Breakfast, closest to town at 3.9 km.
