A fairytale castle hidden in a lush south Devon valley. Compton Castle, the 650 year old home of the Gilbert family, who built the property in 1340 and are still in residence, has a medley of fortified towers, battlements and buttresses.

The Old Kitchen offers a unique insight into medieval domestic life.

The castle, which was used as the film location for 'Sense and Sensibility', (1995) also offers delightful flowering gardens including a rose garden and knot garden .
