A wonderful place to stay
Lovely room overlooking the garden and countryside and sea with a very comfortable bed, delicious breakfast with homemade goodies, could not have been better.
We certainly would not hesitate to book again.
Thank you, Caroline and Colin, for looking after us so well and for all your very funny stories about your horses, dogs and cat 😄

Super friendly and welcoming host, a comfortable and attractive room, home-made cake every afternoon and wonderful breakfasts. The B&B is an easy walk to a stunning beach and various restaurants. We ate out at The Glorious Oyster and The Boat House - both recommended but we preferred the former for its relaxed, beachy vibe and quality of the dishes.

Will certainly stay again if down that way.

Brilliant place to stay, we only stayed one night but it was well worth it. The room was a great size with a good tea/coffee tray, decent size bathroom and bed. Breakfast was fantastic. Really well worth staying.

This was by far the best stay during our 7 day hike along the south west coast path from Minehead to Westward Ho!. I would give it a 5.5 out of 5, if I only could.
Caroline was a wonderful host.
Everything was well thought through and we felt very welcome.

The picture looks like a cottage, it is in fact a farm house. Large, well appointed bedrooms, big comfortable bed, tea/coffee facilities with a flask of fresh milk and home made cake. Charming hosts. Fantastic breakfast. Perfect.
