Clovelly Court Gardens are a must see whilst visiting the famous village. Plants thrive in this sheltered sunny corner of North Devon, which has the added benefit of the warmth the Gulf Stream brings.

Things To Do
History of Clovelly
Originally the estate was owned by William the Conqueror, King of England, gifted to his wife and then had many royal associations until 1242 when first acquired by the Giffard family. Until the middle of the 19th century Clovelly was unknown to the outside world. It was partly as a result of Charles Kingsley’s ‘Westward Ho!’, set in and around the village, that visitors began to come.

New Year’s Eve Fancy Dress Party
December 31, 2023
A fantastic New Year’s Party will be taking place for both resident and non-residence guests.
New Years Murder Mystery set in the 1830’s .. We will be decorating the Restaurant in the style of a dickens pub.
The Christmas rush is over. It’s New Year’s Eve and Acme Decorations are winding down after their busiest period. This small company had developed a niche market for its decorations and the product line was selling well.
However, last night disaster had struck when the co- founder and Managing Director, one Jacob Marley, was found dead in the factory. The he had been decorated with tinsel, hanging baubles, and candles.
Who would have done such a thing, and why? As a small Company, the range of suspects was limited, and Inspector Bucket had gathered them together to try and get to the bottom of this macabre mystery.
As the evening progresses, secrets are revealed, and tensions rise. Inspector Bucket calls on the other guests at the hotel to help in catching the culprit behind the bizarre crime committed by one or more of these eccentric suspects.
All the clues will be there to lead to the right conclusion, but will they be correctly deduced? The emphasis is on fun in the light-hearted murder mystery based on characters from Charles Dicken’s books. Inspector Bucket is determined to get to the truth before the night is out!
Celebrate New Year at a party with a difference. Places will be very limited so please book now to avoid disappointment!
