Cadhay House and Garden open to the public

Cadhay House and Garden, located a short distance from Ottery St Mary, is open every Friday afternoon from May through to September.

In addition, during the late Spring and the Summer Bank Holidays it is open on Saturday, Sunday and Monday afternoons. 


Guided tours of the house recount its history dating back to the early 15th century. Visitors will see the Long Gallery, the Roof Chamber with its Elizabethan timbered roof, and the Court of the Sovereigns, described by Simon Jenkins as one of the “treasures of Devon”.

Visitors are also invited to explore the garden and allotments. In fact more and more people are coming just to visit the gardens, which are an oasis of calm and tranquility and change dramatically as the season progresses.

The Tea Room, offering delicious homemade cakes, light refreshments and Devon cream teas, is open at the same time as the house and garden.

Opening times are between 2pm and 5.30pm (last house tour 4pm) every Friday from May to September. Open for Late Spring and August Bank Holidays Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Cadhay is a member of the Historic Houses Association.
