Welcome to Bridwell

A unique country house estate in the heart of Devon

Hidden from public gaze for over 240 years, the Devon home of Lord Ivar Mountbatten and James Coyle opened its’ doors to events for the very first time in January 2015.

Fast forward to the present day, the dynamic and fun Estate team continue to share Bridwell as great hosts of a remarkable location.

Discerning clients and guests include those seeking a Devon Wedding venue for small but beautifully formed marriage and civil partnership celebrations, those hosting a private Devon House Party or a special occasion, those in need of fabulous self contained accommodation in the heart of the West Country, those that love an uplifting Community Eventand not forgetting or those that enjoy a Parkland walk and visit to The Orangery Cafe nestled in the heart of our tranquil grounds.

WELCOMING OUR LOCAL & WIDER COMMUNITY

Visitors are warmly welcomed to The Orangery Cafe and designated areas of our 100 acre Deer Park.

CAFE & PARKLAND OPENING HOURS  

The Orangery Cafe and Parkland is typically open Monday to Sunday, 7 days a week, 10am til 4pm. Any exceptions to this will be published here and via our social media well in advance.

Delicious light lunches, scrumptious cakes, artisan gifts, local produce, Devon cider, gin, house wine, fizz, outstanding quality Barista coffee and much much more can be found at The Orangery Cafe.

Dogs on lead are most welcome within the Parkland and The Orangery Cafe. We are a dog friendly venue!

THE HERD

Antler shedding season is now underway for the Estate 100+ strong herd of Red and Fallow deer.

Unlike horns which are permanent structures, deer antlers shed and re-grow annually to coincide with breeding season.

A gentle reminder to anyone joining us during the months of March and April – antlers remain the property of the Estate. Attempted removal of them will be treated accordingly as theft.

If you find antlers during your time with us, please kindly hand them in to us at The Orangery Cafe if you can, where a member of our team will be delighted to reward you with coffee and cake on us.
