Cosy clean traditional Bed and Breakfast

Lovely homely traditional B&B in beautiful historic thatched cottage. Fantastic location for Sidmouth, Seaton and Lyme Regis. Lovely full english breakfast with perfectly cooked fried eggs, real butter for the toast, and amazing homemade marmalade. Friendly and helpful host.

Quirky historic cottage

Very old thatched roof cottage so you do not expect modern up to date facilities. A quaint quirky place to stay which we chose for that reason and were not disappointed. Nice breakfast and the guys were happy to cook whatever we wanted. Room was serviced every day with coffee etc topped up and new biscuits every day. My bed was made up when I had left too many creases in it! Friendly helpful staff who were happy to chat as were the other guests at breakfast time.

Easter break at the Southern Cross Hotel

Very good, very welcoming, property very clean. Very old property but lovely, alot of original features. Lovely big garden for afternoon tea but unfortunately didn't get to use it. Really enjoyed our stay. Also had our dog with us and was made very welcome.

Excellent stay in a guest house with character.

Warm welcome, felt comfortable. Lovely quirky guest house with character added to the experience. Subtle servicing of the room. Breakfast was delicious with very accommodating service.

Idyllic B & B in a great location.

Always have an amazing stay at Southern Cross Guest House. You’re always made to feel very welcome and the rooms are so comfortable and there’s everything you need. Breakfast is absolutely delicious too. Such is in a great location for Sidmouth and its idyllic boutique shops and the wonderful donkey sanctuary too.

A beautiful, quiet, clean and comfortable hotel and bedroom. Loved the history of the building. Extremely weloming and friendly service. Our hosts went above and beyond. We will definitely be back and were so grateful for the wonderful care given to us. Parking on site was easy and the local pub a short walk away. Highly recommend, thoroughly enjoyed the cream tea and delicious breakfast.
