Door on the bathroom door needs to be addressed as very stiff and kept getting caught on the door frame. Shower not very powerful and took a while to reach temperature. Apart from that stay was good, bed was comfortable, room was spacious.

Quaint and quirky

This is a quirky and quaint guest house with comfortable rooms and clean bathrooms. It is an old building so some floors are uneven and the stairs are steep. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was lovely. The guest house is famous in the area for its cream teas and although we didn’t have time to stay for one, they looked delicious. We had a very comfortable night and would happily stay again.

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.

This is an 18th century property with a thatched roof that serves cream teas in the afternoon. It has lots of character and won't be for those looking for a modern place to stay. If you have mobilty issues, the steep stairs may also be a problem. However, it not all olde world, there is free internet, lots of easy parking and a breakfast menu that should have enough options to suit everyone.

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.

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. Well positioned to visit the small villages of East Devon and only three miles from the coast. Will def consider staying again.
