The views we’re beautiful and the heated pool and tennis court were much enjoyed by us all. The rooms were spacious and clean with everything we needed. We had a lovely time and would definitely recommend it! ##### Maria W. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dinlle F., Bridgend, UK 8 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ideal Break Don’t usually write reviews, but this really was was a lovely place to stay. We took our dog and the grounds were ideal. Owners very friendly and helpful. Fantastic base to strike out and visit places such as Exeter, Beer, Lyme Regis, Sidmouth and so on. The only downside particularly when travelling with a teenager was the slow and sometime non-existent wifi. Though in all honesty the time away from screens was more of a blessing! Highly recommend. ##### Dinlle F.

Fresh air and beautiful surrounding beat the usual airport hotel stay any day. ##### Robin A.
