The House

Thomas Luny House is an elegant Georgian house reflecting Teignmouth’s heyday, when it was a very fashionable town favoured by several of Nelson’s admirals and captains. The house is set back from Teign Street with an entrance into a walled courtyard at the front, through an archway.

The house has a warm and friendly atmosphere, encouraging guests to relax and feel at home. On arrival, tea and coffee or afternoon tea with home-made cake is offered, which may be taken either in your bedroom, the drawing room or in the summer, in the garden.

The spacious drawing room, which stretches from the front of the house to the back, is charmingly furnished with antiques and comfortable sofas and chairs. The room can be divided into two smaller cosy rooms in winter by the original large panelled doors, with each room having an open fire. French windows open out into the rear walled garden.

The house, although it is near the centre of the town and not far from the fish quay, is a haven of tranquility. To the front, the courtyard, with ample and secure car parking is surrounded by high Devon sandstone walls and colourful beds of herbaceous plants and flowers. The archway leading into it is fairly narrow, so please take care!

On the south side of the house is a secluded and completely private walled garden. Both the dining room and drawing room give out onto the garden, where over the summer months the guests may enjoy afternoon tea.
