Positive Reviews

positive:

Devon farmhouse setting.

A warm and relaxing B+B with friendly owners. You can’t beat this countryside location and yet it’s handy if flying from Exeter Airport ... or if you fancy a slice of the high life in Torquay.

positive:

Excellent breakfast.

As you might expect, farmhouse breakfasts here are hearty, delicious and very special. Within reason, you can choose a time to have it. Later dining at the nearby Ley Arms is recommended.

positive:

Nice rooms.

On the spacious side, they feature attractive oak furniture. Some rooms open on to an attractive patio and a breath of fresh Devon air.


Negative Reviews

negative:

Remote.

An attraction at certain times of the year but the single track road access is tricky at dead of night. Presumably the snow of winter can make the farm inaccessible!

negative:

Not all rooms are spacious.

Some are quite small with very limited storage areas.

negative:

Iffy Wi-Fi signal.

Not very reliable. It’s OK at the Ley Arms though – so a good excuse for a drink.
