Downton Lodge Country B&B

This place is s little heaven on earth, from the warm & inviting greeting on arriving from Martin, the information & our question he answered, definitely a seasoned host. The property is outstanding if you like, interesting, homely, quaint, gorgeous, room was a generous size, plenty of storage space, plus our empty luggage fitted under the bed. The bed, so comfortable slept really well, the feeling, the decor, the view, the cleanliness, the trinkets, all superb. Tea & coffee is on a shared landing outside the bedrooms, again so homely so inviting, an amazing idea executed to perfection. Don't do evening meal currently, breakfast perfect, full choice whatever you want, all freshly prepared by Andrew our second host, (with a little help from Martin), views over the garden & beyond beautiful. nothing is too much trouble for these guys, chatty, entertaining, informative without being to forward, outstanding hosts. Beautiful property too, in the rain or sunshine. Plenty of places around abouts to see, eat, stroll, visit, some of the roads around a little challenging, found reverse gear quite useful on a couple of occasions, plenty of passing places though. An ideal B &B in an idea location. Never said this about a B&B before, we will be coming back, usually have never repeat stayed in a B&B before, this place is the exception. Thank you so so much Martin & Andrew for being the icing on the end of our holiday tour.

Outstanding Self Catering barn conversion. This was our second visit to Downton Lodge. We previously stayed in the B&B which was fantastic with gorgeous breakfasts. The barn conversion is a home from home, with everything decorated furnished and cleaned to an extremely high standard. I slept so well and enjoyed every moment. Beautiful location so convenient for the ferry to Greenway. Dartmouth is gorgeous; what is not to like. Huge thanks Andrew and Martin.

What a truly wonderful find. Andrew and Martin are super hosts. From their warm and friendly welcome and throughout our stay, we enjoyed a lovely week in their stunning home. Our attractively decorated and beautifully furnished room was so comfortable and cosy. A comfy bed is most important to us. Breakfast was delicious with top quality ingredients and fresh fruit, served in the conservatory overlooking the gorgeous gardens and countryside beyond. The location is so quiet and peaceful, we heard an owl at night. We would not hesitate to recommend Downton Lodge at any time of year, and we shall definitely return at some point. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Anne & John Gliddon. Bristol
