Michael Caines has achieved Michelin stars, an MBE, and television success, and Lympstone Manor is the pinnacle of his illustrious career.
“Lympstone is a dream come true in so many ways,” admits Michael, who was previously at the helm of Devon’s Gidleigh Park under then owners Paul and Kay Henderson – he was there for 21 years and held two Michelin stars for 18 years.
“This has been my dream since I walked into Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir as a young chef in the late 1990s. I knew there and then that one day I wanted to open my own hotel.
