Comfortable b&b in Horrabridge Devon
Enjoyable 3 night stay. Friendly welcome. Given information for b&b and the local area. Useful knowledge of places to eat. Room clean and comfortable. Excellent power shower. We only required a continental breakfast which was more than adequate. I succumbed to scrambled eggs on last morning- for me - perfect. Would certainly recommend it and stay again if we visited the area again.

A homely B&B
The room was well equipped, a little homely for me as I’m more used to hotel stays however it was a pleasant stop over in a small village. Breakfast was locally sourced and very good. It was quiet and I had a good nights sleep. A good internet connection. The hostess was very friendly and knowledgable about the local area.

Nice peaceful place to stay
In normal weather this would be a comfortable room to stay in but with the high temperatures it was quite difficult to sleep even though a fan had been provided. Good place to stay if you want a lovely cooked breakfast.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
It was a beautiful room, but we couldn’t check in until 5, so we decided to eat on the way, and then had a phone call to say owner was going shopping! So we wouldn’t be able to get in until after 7.15 pm. luckily she had changed her mind when we arrived but we anticipated sitting in the car for half an hour waiting, we had specifically booked to attend a party in the village so it was a nuisance. But the room was really lovely, though the shower was faulty and difficult to use. I wouldn’t go there again, but I guess I visited on an off day.
