Story

Mary

Ian's 97-Year-old mum called Mary, has now joined us here at Lurley Manor. You will often see her pottering about. Do say hi.

​

She is hard of hearing and nearly blind, but would love a chat. She is in Magnolia Cottage and loves to be as independent as possible here. We love having here here. :-)

A Warm Welcome from Us🌿

​

In October 2024, we swapped life in West Sussex for the peaceful beauty of Devon — and the adventure began! Lurley Manor is now our home and the heart of our dream: a cozy, nature-filled haven where family, friends, and guests can relax and reconnect.

​

Between us, we have six wonderful grown-up children in their 30s (Who are living their lives abroad and in the UK), grandchildren. we love it when they come to visit. Not forgetting out two well-loved dogs — Charlie and Milo — who are always by our side.

​

Our plans keep growing: more animals (alpacas, chickens, ducks, and goats soon!), and Wild Glamping in our woods, arriving in 2026 — all surrounded by Devon’s serene countryside.

​

We’re so grateful for this new chapter and can’t wait to share it with you. Here’s to fresh beginnings, happy memories, and the simple magic of life at Lurley Manor.

​

With love,
Ruth, Ian, Charlie & Milo 🐾
