Lovely old building, beautifully clean and comfortable. Steve and Fiona were very welcoming and kind. Also, they cooked a mean breakfast from a varied menu. It was delicious. The only downside was the lack of parking outside The Bakehouse. It proved to be very difficult but the upside was that approx 60 yards away was a Car Park for only £3.30 for 24 hours! Highly recommend The Bakehouse if you are planning a visit to East Devon.

We loved the place: it’s a charming, quaint old cottage that’s had a sympathetic B&B conversion and is exceptionally neat, tidy and spotlessly clean.
James and Katherine are exceptionally welcoming and helpful, and good fun.
Everything in the breakfast room was beautifully presented and laid out with precision, and the hearty breakfast was, of course, exceptional! Everything is home-made or sourced locally. James makes his own bread, preserves and granola.
Our room was “bijou” but...

Room was well furnished and had everything we needed including a bottle opener, wine glass, even a hot water bottle! Bed was comfy and there was a really useful folder of info in the room, the owner had included a few suggested walks around the property which was great and we did one of them just to stretch our legs.
Ample parking, and the property was very well kept, no issues with noise or anything from the farm we were attached to.
Loved the fact the owner offered proper milk for the rooms...

We received a warm and friendly greeting upon arrival and were looked after extremely well for all of our stay. The hotel is spotless throughout and is run by a family who want their visitors to enjoy their stay. Food is excellent and is cooked to order. Delicious!
Only slight downside is that as this is a small hotel, there are no lifts thus it is not really suitable for those with mobility issues as all rooms are 'upstairs'. For all other visitors, you will enjoy your visit.

Perfect for a couples weekend away! Excellent stay thank you all! So nice to sit on a terrace looking at the beach and sea, whilst eating a very good breakfast.
Booked with our 12yo Labrador. Stairs were a tad steep but she was happy being carried up 😁
Staff are very helpful and the location is just stunning!

The best area to stay in Seaton is along the seafront, particularly around The Esplanade, for easy access to the beach and town amenities.
This central area stretches along the pebble beach, offering direct views of Lyme Bay. The Esplanade is the main promenade, lined with hotels, guesthouses, and eateries. It's very walkable, with the Jurassic Coast Visitor Centre and the Seaton Tramway terminus both located at the eastern end, near the river Axe.
Couples looking for a relaxing coastal break will find this area ideal. You can enjoy strolls along the beach, dine at seafront restaurants, and easily access the South West Coast Path for scenic walks. The convenience of having everything on your doorstep makes for a stress-free holiday.
For families, staying near The Esplanade also offers great convenience. The beach is just across the road, great for a day of rockpooling or simply enjoying the sea air.
