What a Gem!

A lovely clean and friendly place to stay. Very comfortable beds, nice decor, ample amenities for us. Lin, who runs this business is incredibly warm and attentive. She offered additional fresh chilled milk or water from the fridge conveniently located in the pretty dining room and asked if we wanted breakfast or some lunch. This hotel is so well placed for short walk to St Marychurch attractions or Babbacombe Theatre and restaurants. Also close to sea and famous Oddicombe Beach with cliff railway. We will be back!!

A class establishment at a very reasonable price. Very friendly and attentive hosts a breakfast to die for. In my mind the hardest thing to create in a guest house is atmosphere it just felt like home from home here relaxing in the bar area I felt like I was in my front room. Thank you Lyn and Scott
