A lovely three night stay at Downton Lodge. Martin and Andrew are excellent hosts who ensure that they run a guest house with very high standards. Lots of details have been considered to provide everything one might need whilst away from home. Breakfast is cooked very well with high quality ingredients, and the hosts known the area in depth so that they can advise their guests of what to do and see. Overall, an excellent stay.

Had an excellent stay at Downton Lodge for 2 nights. Superb property and well appointed rooms. Whilst located down a working farm track and quite a walk into Dittisham this is made up for by the welcome and the breakfast. You do need regular use of the car. Would recommend and definitely stay again when in the area.

Best B/B in Devon by a mile

What a fabulous location matched only by the 1st class room we stayed in. Andrew and Martin were the perfect hosts and we will definitely be recommending this brilliant B/B to everyone. It’s the best we’ve stayed in. The beds are comfy, the breakfasts excellent and the room we had was everything you hope for but don’t usually get. Well done guys. We will definitely be coming back.

We booked our trip last minute and we are so glad we found availability at Downton Lodge. The property was fantastic, in an idyllic setting and beautifully decorated. Our room was very well appointed and the bed was enormous! Andrew & Martin clearly put a huge amount of effort in to the property, and they have considered every aspect to ensure guests have a comfortable stay.
