Just come back from a 2 night stay with family. We were a party of 8. Excellent accommodation spotlessly clean in the rooms and lovely white towels. Breakfast was cooked freshly to order. Really lovely couple who run the guest house so helpful and nothing too much trouble. We all agreed that we will be returning. Good location and car parking at the guest house.

Fantastic breakfast, immaculately clean and good hospitality. A good location for visiting the sites of South Devon. The room was spacious and well equipped . Fresh milk in the fridge instead of long life UHT was a plus ! Booked direct with the hosts.
