Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in South Hams District

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

We had brief but lovely and welcoming stay at Pamela's house. it felt like at home straight away. Village is very peaceful and we had a great night sleep.

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.

Stayed with Nicky and Si for a couple of days in Swimbridge and I think the most tranquil AirBnB I’ve stayed at yet! Breakfasts were continental and lots of choice, and Nicky was great in responding quickly to queries on check in and the room. The room was clean and well put together overlooking a great view of the church.

Clean, comfortable, and a very nice breakfast.

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!

Thanks for a great stay.

What a lovely B&B place this is! The house is set in a very quiet location, with a lovely garden for sitting outside, and gorgeous surroundings inside. We had Room 1, which had a huge ensuite bathroom, with a lovely long bath, a shower and two wash basins. The French double bed has a very thick feather-filled duvet to keep you warm on cold nights, and the entire room is fitted with loads of wardrobe space, plus several drawers for all your belongings. The cooked breakfast was amazing, plus lovely fresh fruit, fresh croissants and yoghurts. You will not go hungry here! However, we highly recommend that you book well in advance, any lunches or dinners that you intend to take in Bude or the surrounding areas, as it is virtually impossible to find any places to eat, unless you have a reservation. Charlene and her family were incredibly hospitable, and nothing was too much trouble for their guests. We can highly recommend Bosvean House for a delightful stay.

A beautiful place to stay, very charming and full of character. Friendly, welcoming and accommodating hosts. Thank you, we really enjoyed staying at your place!

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.

As ever Jan was a fantastic host. Lovely rooms with a great view and excellent breakfasts.

The most special stay with Libby and Mike. A snug little garden room to stay in, surrounded by beautiful flowers and plants. A full English breakfast, homemade biscuits and a clean, comfortable stay. I turned up expecting a place to crash whilst in the area for work, but had the most relaxing time and would happily come back for a holiday! 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!

Staying at Justin and Mike’s place was wonderful. Their home is completely renovated, feels modern, while retaining all the best original features. Original entrance hall floor tiles. Original wooden floors and doors. The wonderful juxtaposition of freestanding furniture, old and new. The room is warm, I stayed in March, the bed super comfy and the furnishings expertly chosen. Then there is the rain shower - perfect after a long day walking along the Tamara Coast to Coast Way. And did I mention breakfast, it really is an occasion, complete with yogurt granola orange juice bread warm pastries tea and more. Public transport is by bus. These run from Bude to Launceston to Fore Street, next to Saltash mainline train station. From the wonderful welcome to the timely mugs of tea, Justin and Mike’s home really is an ideal base for your visit to North Cornwall and Devon.

Great stay, convenient location close to town which was perfect as we had car issues. Beverley was communicative and clear on everything before and throughout the stay. The house and room itself was very clean, tidy and homy. Beverley and her husband were very friendly, welcoming and generous with their kitchen and lovely garden. Pukka teas an added bonus :) It was easy to add my friend to the booking and no problem switching to 2 single beds. Although the room itself is as little on the small side for 2 with 2 beds none of this came as a surprise as Beverley explained everything clearly and nothing was a problem for us. Good value for money..Finally if you are a dog lover, Herman the Chorkie (daughters dog who visits some days) will steal your heart forever and you won't want to leave him! Thank you will be returning

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

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.

I looked forward to returning to Rebecca's comfortable and welcoming home. Arriving in Sidmouth to cycle the hills I can say that Salcombe Hill at 29° is steeper than Peak Hill at 22°. There is also an easy route along the lanes to Cullompton. Great location !

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.
