As the festive season approaches, there is something truly magical about escaping to the Devon coast, where crackling fires, twinkling lights and exceptional hospitality create unforgettable moments. Overlooking the tranquil Exe Estuary, Lympstone Manor offers a luxurious Christmas and New Year experience that combines Michelin-starred dining, award-winning English wines and the warm welcome of Michael Caines MBE and his team. Whether you’re planning a festive family gathering, a romantic seasonal escape or a glamorous New Year’s celebration, Lympstone Manor provides the perfect setting.
A Christmas to Remember
From early December, Lympstone Manor is transformed into a spectacular festive retreat. Beautiful Christmas decorations adorn the Georgian manor, creating an elegant backdrop for a carefully curated three-night Christmas stay.
Guests can expect far more than simply a luxury hotel break. Throughout the stay, festive traditions are elevated with Michelin-starred dining, vineyard experiences, mulled wine and mince pies, Christmas Carols with a live Christmas brass band and the opportunity to relax in one of the Devon’s most picturesque countryside settings overlooking the Exe Estuary.
Christmas Eve begins with the excitement of the season, while Christmas Day is centred around an unforgettable Michelin-starred festive feast, bringing family and friends together over exceptional food created by Michael Caines and his talented kitchen team. Boxing Day continues the celebrations with relaxed fine dining, vineyard experiences and time to enjoy the estate at a slower pace.
Michael Caines’ New Year’s Eve House Party
For those looking to welcome 2027 in spectacular style, Michael Caines’ New Year’s Eve House Party has become one of Devon’s most sought-after celebrations.
Hosted by Michael himself, this elegant black-tie evening begins with Champagne and live music before guests enjoy an indulgent tasting menu accompanied by expertly selected wines. As midnight approaches, celebrations continue with dancing, a Champagne toast and a breathtaking fireworks display lighting up the skies above the vineyard and Exe Estuary.
For residents, two and three-night New Year packages offer the opportunity to extend the celebrations. Alongside exceptional dining, guests can enjoy guided walks along the beautiful estuary, wine tasting with our sommelier team and peaceful moments relaxing beside roaring log fires before another evening of outstanding cuisine. It’s the perfect balance of celebration and relaxation as one year ends and another begins.

A stay at Lympstone Manor is about more than exceptional food. Every detail has been designed to create an atmosphere of comfort, elegance and festive indulgence.
Spend crisp winter mornings exploring the estate and vineyard, discover the beauty of the Devon coastline, or simply unwind in one of the beautifully appointed bedrooms and suites.
