The owners could not do enough to make our stay comfortable. Best nights sleep we have had in a hotel, the breakfast freshly cooked every morning and nothing too much trouble. Fresh water and milk every day. Room clean with toiletries in bathroom and shower room. Will definitely be back

From the minute we walked in to be greeted with a cuppa and cake through providing a charger for our flat battery to restaurant recommendations Ian and Janette could not have provided a more customer friendly experience. …

We highly recommend. Myself, Dad and brother stayed for 5 nights on holiday. The owners were warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The room was very big and spacious with a bed that makes you fall asleep almost instantly.There's a special on for breakfast every morning to make it more exciting and mixes things up.The owners asked us if we wanted anything particular for breakfast rather than what's on the menu which I thought was amazing.The full English was beautiful, which I had every morning because I couldn't resist. Everything tasted fresh and was prepared quickly. I believe one of the owner's used to be a chef which makes sense.The owners were very friendly and asked what we had planned for the day, giving suggestions which we found helpful.If I return to Devon again, I will stay here.
