The Colmer Country Estate, Devon - Amenities
All our visitors have free access to the wonderful facilities that are available on the Colmer estate
The grounds and gardens
Indoor pool
Outdoor pool
The 28 acres of beautiful and peaceful private grounds gives varied habitat that makes Colmer a nature lover's paradise of meadows, woodland and water-meadows. The water gardens and lake attract hundreds of species of birds, butterflies and dragonflies. Badgers have 'sett' up home within the estate and foxes, deer, bats, squirrels, hedgehogs, rabbits and occasional stray cows are among many of the animals that can be regularly spotted.
The indoor pool is open and heated all year round.
Fitness suite
Above the indoor pool is a fitness gymnasium containing a good range of equipment including bicycle, treadmill,
cross-trainer, rowing machine and bench press with weights.
The lake
The fishing lake is well stocked for coarse fishing with carp and golden rudd. A minimum of 3 stands are available throughout the year. You will need to provide your own rods etc and have the appropriate fishing
license available from local post offices.
Walled garden
The walled garden and playground were redeveloped in 2004. There are superb swings, slide, and climbing frame. We also have new picnic benches and a boules
area and fruit trees and bushes if your timing is right for PYO.
The games room
This is opposite the walled garden and houses a pool table and tables and chairs
for a meeting place.
Woodland adventure playground
This contains climbing net, tyre swings, balancing pole and a few hidden
surprises!!
Tennis court
This is an all weather tennis court. The court also has a basket ball net at one end for practicing your shots. We do have racquets for you to borrow, but better players will want to bring their own.
Croquet lawn
We did have a croquet lawn in front of the Colmer House but unfortunately the moles also found it! The gardener is working hard to regain control but if you want a challenge the croquet set is kept in the laundry room.
