Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Devon

Nice safe place to stay…

My boyfriend and I visited with two friends, so we booked the entire barn. Helen was there to meet us when we arrived and offered us a tea and coffee with biscuits. We found the barn to be spotlessly clean. The soft furnishings and interior design were lovely quality and comfortable. The beds are lovely and comfortable. The quality and choice of breakfast was amazing and they catered for a vegetarian and gluten free. Helen was a great host who couldn't do enough for us. The grounds are pretty and peaceful with lovely views of the Countryside. The photos dont do this place justice. We really couldnt rate this place highly enough. Thanks Jen

Great place - just as advertised and required for a short peaceful break in between Christmas family gatherings, Hot Tub and Sauna both brilliant all by candlelight which is so nice in the countryside. 100% will return

It was wonderful to stay in Chapel Hill for a few days! Carolynn and Roland are very hospitable and wonderful people, who immediately make you feel at home. Every morning I enjoyed a delicious breakfast and had nice conversations with Carolynn. The house is located in a beautiful and quiet area, but within walking distance of Lynton and Lynmouth. The walk to Watersmeet is also definitely worth it! Or the Exmoor Coaster open bus service to Porlock and Minehead. Also, if you do not have a car at your disposal, you can easily take the bus from Barbrook to Lynton/Lynmouth.

Great Airbnb - comfy beds, lovely breakfast. Belinda very friendly and helpful. Dartington village is in the middle of some beautiful countryside but only 5mins drive to Totnes.

Katie was very friendly and the view out of our window over the fields of sheep and cows was lovely. A very rural and secluded location, but within minutes of Ashburton. We will definitely stay at Katie‘s place next time we are in in Devon.

Amazing find of a place on the south side of Plymouth, near ferry departures. Friendly, helpful host and excellent response times. Great value.

We had a fantastic 2 night stay here. Linda and Alan were super welcoming, and seemed to have the perfect balance of being friendly & professional. They actually went above and beyond in helping us out, and we are very appreciative for that. The bedroom was comfy and clean and the bath robe was a lovely addition. The bathroom was also immaculate and breakfast was really easy and what we needed. Thank you again!

Lovely room… great pub with good ale. Very happy. Not quite close to the sea that thought it might be but that was my fault!

It's difficult to 'say a few words' in the space allotted because from the welcome to the assistance with our departure, everything was perfection. I have owned a historic inn, am a participant in the Air B&B in the US and a world traveler and can say with confidence that our stay at The Cider Barn was the best Air B&B experience we've ever had. Louise is the consummate hostess and excels at gracious hospitality. She is a concierge who is not only knowledgeable but makes the experience happen. She generously provided transportation to and from a wedding reception for us as we found the small lane driving at night quite intimidating as Americans. Even finding the 'hidden gem' was a challenge for us but well worth it and we boosted our learning curve as time went on, all too quickly. The property is exquisite; it easily qualifies for submission in Architectural Digest. We are deeply grateful to Louise, our hostess, and any guest is fortunate to stay here.

It was a last minute booking for us whilst driving in the car so it was sorted and ready for us last minute and really appreciated it. It’s exactly what it is, it was literally a pit stop for us, travelling east south east around and through the west. We turned up and a band was setting up and I did think oh no will we sleep, however once we got to bed shut the windows and turned the fan on we couldn’t hear a thing and had a great sleep. Bed was comfy and slept right through. Very friendly and even had a drink downstairs before bed and everyone was so friendly and so dog friendly our little cocker spaniel was roaming the pub saying hello to everyone. Was a lovely stay thank you.

We had a wonderful stay! The house has a beautiful garden and a charming traditional style. Everything was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Polly is a lovely and friendly host who respected our privacy, which made us feel completely at ease. She also kindly guided us to local sightseeing spots, which helped us make the most of our trip. Every morning, she prepared a lovely breakfast for us, including fresh bread with jam, milk, almond milk, cereal, tea, and coffee. It was a perfect start to the day. Highly recommended!

This was our 2nd visit to Hilary’s, as before we had a great welcome, the room and bathroom were spotless, and very comfortable. Hilary is an excellent hostess, easy to chat with, and extremely kind and thoughtful. The breakfast was great, very generous and plenty of choice. Would highly recommend! Many thanks Hilary!

Well where to start. It was the most beautiful property with a stunning garden, with birdsong, gorgeous shrubs and flowers and was soooo peaceful it was a great place to de-stress. There was a pub which serves food (we did not sample the food) only 5 minutes stroll away. Sue and Peter were superb hosts and very friendly, and supplied a wonderful cooked breakfast, with a continental option available too. We felt really spoilt. The beds were super comfortable and they had thought of everything that you could possibly need. Tea/coffee making facilities in the room too. Would highly recommend and would definitely love to go back.

This beautiful home in Launceston was a pleasure to spend several days in. I was greeted warmly on arrival (the fresh brew was much appreciated, after a long trip!) and Justin was a gracious, enthusiastic and personable host throughout my stay. The continental breakfast was tasty and always well laid out and the guestroom was spacious, extremely clean and well-appointed, with delightful views of the garden courtyard during the day. Access to the property was straightforward, with Justin providing clear instructions on this. The bed and supplied linen were comfortable and spotless and everything felt homely, cosy but uncluttered. I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone visiting the Launceston area, who may not even be spending much time in the town itself as it would certainly be worth using as a base to explore the rest of N. Cornwall and neighbouring areas of Devon. Hope to be able to stay here again in the future! :)

Me and my 2 sons had a great time staying with Jude. We felt very welcome and they loved staying at Jude’s

Beverely’s home was a perfect place for a stopover before continuing my travels. She and her partner were very friendly, and they exuded a relaxed atmosphere.

What a great find. Julie and Graham's Smithy is really lovely, just as described and with Julie's added touches. These included a small display of flowers and homemade cake and chocolate brownies. Very welcome after a long journey to this beautiful location. The Smithy has everything you want for a peaceful stay. It is decorated to a very high standard and has a beautifully made wooden staircase to the mezzanine bedroom. The garden of the main house, which has a small stream running through it, is beautiful with many mature shrubs and trees and at this time of the year Primroses and Bluebells. Guests are encouraged to use the seating area by the summer house near the stream. Julie and Graham are great to talk too and gave us very good advice about the local area. One thing was The Bell pub in Chittlehampton. We had a very good evening meal there and owners are lovely people. The Smithy is great for short break and we hope to return in the near future.

I honestly have one word to describe Rita and that is perfect. It was an amazing weekend away from work and responsibilities and Rita made us feel right at home. Not only was she always willing to help and carried a smile on her face but she helped us with recommendations on where to go for dinner and what to do during the day. Her hospitality could not have been better and we could not have had a better time there. We cannot wait to go back soon and do more things. It was the loveliest weekend thank you so much

We had a great stay at Claudine & David’s place, they were extremely welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was delicious and the bed very comfy with a lovely view out to sea. The location was perfect for exploring the local sites - you can walk to Lynton and the valley of the rocks (the vernacular railway is within a 5 min walk if you don’t fancy climbing the hill!)

I arrived tired after driving through lashing rain. I was made to feel immensely welcome. Everything was very fine indeed and Rachel had put a lot of thought into providing everything needed for a comfortable stay.

The room is very comfortable and quiet and both Rebecca and her gorgeous dog Tess were welcoming and charming. It's a lovely homely place to stay. I would've loved to stay longer.

What a delightful old-fashioned B&B. Lovely, friendly hosts, comfortable room (it's old and quirky but that's clear when you book) and the cooked breakfast was simply delicious - made with care. You even get home-made marmalade and toast with your tea in china cups. The pond and ducks complete the scene. Thanks Rosemarie!

Our stay with Anne & Jonathan was perfect. They both made us feel very welcome and we loved exploring their farm. Anne is also a wonderful passionate cook, we were spoilt with her delicious home made food. Many fruits and veggies were grown on their land. The standard of the accommodation is also very high with a fine attention to detail and wonderful old furniture. The stay suited us perfectly and really look forward to staying again with them.
