Broomhill lies in one of the most glorious valleys in North Devon surrounded by hundreds of acres of beautiful woodland and bound by its own stream. Rinus & Aniet Van de Sande moved to Bromhill in 1997 from Holland and created the Bromhill Art Hotel and Sculpture Garden.

The once beautiful gardens, neglected for decades, were developed over the past 5 years into a sculpture park with national recognition. 300 sculptures by 60 sculptors are sited in 10 acres. A wonderful balance is found between art and nature and the winding paths will take you to sculptures in woodland gardens and the trout lake.

The woodland gardens provide all year round interest and are particularly beautiful in the spring with a succession of spring flowers including snowdrops,daffodils, primroses, bluebells and azaleas. Two magnificent magnolia grandiflora are a feature of the terrace producing huge scented flowers.

More recent planting provides summer and autumn colour and enchances the wildlife habitat. The garden is home to numerous birds and insects. Nearer the house we are working towards more formal gardens with contempoary sculpture on the lawn. Eight international exhibitions areon display in the gallery each year.

The award winning Broomhill kitchen is based around Mediterranean cuisine using fresh produce from six neighbouring farms.



From Barnstaple: follow signs for Lynton (NOT Ilfracombe at this stage) and the North Devon District Hospital. Up the 40mph speed limit hill to the Hospital traffic lights. Straight over these lights and less than 1km further on there is a left turn signposted to Ilfracombe (the road you are on carries on to Lynton). Take the left turn, down the hill then up the hill into trees. Very soon you will see a signpost left into Broomhill Art Hotel and Sculpture Gardens.
