The Bishopsteignton village website https://contact94599.wixsite.com/mysite/history recounts that Huntly is the largest of several large houses in the village. "In 1878 it was established as a hydro hotel, offering Turkish baths and massages" (and named Huntley on the 1889 and 1905 OS maps). "In 1950 Huntly was purchased by the Officer's Association and is now run as a home for retired officers of the armed forces." There are indications of a change of status since then because properties are publicly advertised for sale.
