hosts were very welcoming. I am disabled and the stairs were a challenge. Great value for the money and would still return with my little dog!

The guest house was just what I wanted to visit in a very small village. The breakfast was excellent and service was great. I was able to walk and explored the village. It was an easy bus ride from Exeter.

A lovely old building, beautiful garden, smashing owners, great breakfast, terrific marmalade, relaxing, welcoming. The low ceilings meant you had to duck or grouse and the accommodation wasn't really suitable for semi ambient people, though the tea room was fine, but then it was as mentioned an old building. Thank you for fitting us in for an extra night too.

Nice and simple…sweet
We very much enjoyed our 1-night stay at Wendy’s hotel. She helped make us feel welcome and the room was comfortable for our simple needs. Breakfast was delicious and served fresh. What a treat!! Felt bad that we accidentally broke the hot water kettle but we paid her $20 USD to cover the cost to replace it. Wendy was gracious.

Not bad but very dated
This is a character building which has a certain unique charm, however the rooms could really benefit from a certain amount of modernisation as the furniture and decor is very dated. Lovely personal attention and service though which is also very important 👍
