Hill House is a beautiful Georgian-style Country House once home to Lord and Lady of Sidmouth. Located in the rural location of Blackdown Hills overlooking the Otter Valley with stunning views of the beautiful Devon countryside.
We have 30 en-suite rooms, 12 on the ground floor and 18 on the first. Rooms which are part of the original building are generous in size and full of character. Each room has a private en-suite toilet and wash basin. Rooms are furnished however you can bring along your own furniture to create a home from home atmosphere if you wish.
For residents wishing to socialise or relax outside of their room we have a large comfortable lounge area and spacious dining room with conservatory, plus level access to our substantial grounds.
Completing our home is a hair salon available for residents use when they feel like a bit of pampering.
We have 24-hour support available with individual care plans for each resident and a call bell alarm system, giving you extra peace of mind. Our local Doctor and District Nurses visit regularly.
Home cooked meals are provided to all residents with meals planned to suit our residents tastes and meet any dietary requirements.
Although we are set in a rural location we have excellent links to Honiton, known for its antiques and lacemaking and Exeter, a stunning cathedral city full of restaurants, shops and attractions. The house is easily accessible by car, just a few minutes off the A30 with Honiton train station a short car journey away. In Honiton you will find a hospital right next to the station, plenty of local farm shops and places to enjoy a cream tea.
Parking for visiting guests is available.
Talk to us about respite stays
We’re proud to offer respite stays at Hill House, a short-stay that can be planned ahead, or in the case of an emergency, last-minute. Suitable for individuals seeking support following post-operative or hospital care, or whilst their regular caregiver takes a break, respite care can also be used as a way of introducing long-term residential care to a loved one.
At Hill House our respite stays include:
- 24/7 care support from our qualified and friendly staff
- Daily activities
- Nutritious meals served daily (dietary requirements can be catered for)
- Housekeeping and linen service
*Respite prices may vary depending on needs.

Meet the team
I have worked at Abbeyfield for 10 months, my favourite part is the people I work with and those we care for. I like to get in early so that I see our night staff and hear how the night went. I see residents when they wake so that I can greet them and hear how they feel so that I can respond and make their day as lovely as possible.
Pam
Care Home Manager
I started working at Abbeyfield in September 2021, I really enjoy being able to help staff and residents with their worries and concerns. I also like to teach staff new things about the company or what I’ve learned from previous experience In my spare time I like to see new places, go travelling, learn about new cultures and meet new people.
