Welcome to Woodleigh Coach House & Caf Cafe & Guest House
Woodleigh Coach House & Caf is a historic Grade II Listed building constructed between 1896 and 1898 by a London Brewer, originally part of the Woodleigh Estate. Crafted from local Drewsteignton stone and Cornish granite, the structure has evolved from a coach house and stables to a beloved roadside cafe and guest house. After surviving a devastating fire in the 1980s, the venue was rebuilt and has since become a cherished destination for locals and travelers alike. The cafe, housed in the East wing, serves all-day breakfasts, homemade cakes, and traditional Devonshire cream teas, complemented by a spacious sheltered terrace.The guest accommodation, located above the cafe, offers comfortable en-suite rooms with a blend of historic charm and modern amenities. Situated near the A30 in Cheriton Bishop, the venue combines rich heritage with warm hospitality, offering a dog-friendly environment and accessible facilities. Our commitment to preserving the buildings legacy while providing exceptional service ensures a unique experience rooted in over a century of history.
