Babbington House never disappoints (and nor should it for the money)
Not quite in the same league, but these guys are good - we go to Ickworth and Moonfleet Manor quite a lot

Combe House in Gittisham near Honiton. Being pregnant she'll love the size of the bath in The Linen Suite. The hotel has won numerous awards particularly for their restaurant.
Sadly though The owners, Ken and Ruth are moving back to Aus and it will be closed from October. The Pig Group (or whatever they are called) are going to be taking over and redeveloping, so it'll be interesting how it fairs in the new year.

Burgh Island at Bigbury on Sea is our favourite hotel in the South West.
It is worlds apart from your normal five star hotel - there are no televisions in the bedrooms, you have to wear a dinner suit to be allowed in the dining room, and I get the impression that you would not be welcome if the proprietors did not like the cut of your jib, but it is an amazing experience.
The food and especially the cocktails are superb and the hotel is in a unique location.

There are loads, some of which already mentioned. I am sure you will find one to duit
There are!Thanks to all for the suggestions everyone it's helping a lot.
I had The Priory out front until I saw Gidleigh Park (food is crucial element for us), but the lack of a pool and dedicated spa facilities is a bit annoying as my partner would benefit from these being pregnant (obviously not the hot stuff). No mention of room service either... :/
The Scarlet don't have a suite available for our dates and perhaps a little,.. erm... 'environmental'
But it was on my short list...DoubleSix said:
From the website it appears they may be trying a bit hard on the art deco style.
Fine line between stylish/kitsch/tasteless - velour bedspreads!
It is lovely in there but stylish 'vs' kitsch will depend on you liking Art Deco. As a petrol head how can you resist the chance to ride on the sea tractor? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBbJtkBVOi4Fine line between stylish/kitsch/tasteless - velour bedspreads!
