Beautiful room, interaction with owners was polite and minimal and we felt comfortable during our stay, met the owner in person when leaving and she was very lovely. Information of the surrounding area was available in the room which we found really useful.
Lovely location and really central. Great choice for food and drink

Really lovely room, the nicest room we have ever stayed in! Light, bright and beautifully done. Spotlessly clean.The bathroom was outstanding, a real treat. Upon our arrival we were greeted by lovely friendly host. We were contacted ahead of arrival with all the options for parking which was very helpful. Would certainly highly recommend .

Great B&B
We booked at two night stay so that we could view some wedding venues in Devon.
The stay was hastle free. We received all the information we needed about the room, keys, parking etc prior to our arrival.
The room was lovely-really well presented, clean and had everything we needed. Will definitely book again and encourage others to do the same.
