"Lovely old building, beautifully clean and comfortable. Steve and Fiona were very welcoming and kind. Also, they cooked a mean breakfast from a varied menu. It was delicious. The only downside was the lack of parking outside The Bakehouse. It proved to be very difficult but the upside was that approx 60 yards away was a Car Park for only £3.30 for 24 hours! Highly recommend The Bakehouse if you are planning a visit to East Devon."

Blue Ball Inn

8/10 Good

"Parking and breakfast good. Room fine except for nasty star crack in sink, which was black and probably full of germs."

2 bedroom accommodation in Branscombe

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, highly recommend and the owners have great communication. It was the little touches little the welcome basket, milk, tea, coffee and a home from home. The house has everything you will need and the owners provide a lot foc which was a lovely surprise. The only thing which would improve it would be a grass area for the dogs and the bushes where you park cut back as this kept setting the car sensors off causing it to break.Overall I couldnâ€™t fault the place or the owners and would go back again."
