The Old Vicarage B&B

The house was characterful and had a pleasant welcoming hall area. The bedroom was lovely with nice opening window onto a peaceful garden. It was delightful having the chime of the village church and owls at night. Our host Bob was chatty, informative and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was powerful and hot.

The shower tray was incredibly slippery and needed a grip-mat within it. The 'old period house extremely squeaking floor' was a little too much in the loo at night! The breakfast was a bit disappointing after the online hype of it being most excellent. It would have been nice to have had more fresh fruit other than one half bowl of compote. The cooked breakfast could have had more local produce, (and more beans as it was a very small portion). Also more selection of preserves or honey. Some items seemed a bit passed their best; ie. soft cereal, skin on the milk and on the sauces and jam. More attention to detail needed.

Location

Uncomfortable bed

Super Clean, extremely comfortable and very welcoming. It’s everything you’d want from a property called The Old Vicarage. It exudes charm and is a little bit luxurious

Nothing…all good

The friendly welcome and the charming house, as well as the delicious breakfast.

This was a beautiful grade two house in a quiet village near Exeter. It is set back from the road and is very quiet, no traffic noise Our host Bob, was very friendly without being intrusive and was very helpful. Our room was large and very comfortable. Breakfast was cooked to order and the quality of the cooked breakfast was excellent. The breakfast buffet was limited, yogurt and a berry compote and cereals but there was plenty to eat, and as I said the quality was excellent. Parking was good and you could easily walk into the village. Unfortunately the local pub had closed down, but there are two restaurants in the village. Its on the coastal road leading to Dawlish Warren's fantastic beach and a short ferry ride away from Exmouth.

The room was spotless when we arrived but I don't think anyone did any cleaning while we were staying there. I'm talking about sinks and toilets really.

A lovely grade 2 listed building which was kept immaculate

Good location for the hospital. Welcoming, friendly owner. Very good breakfast. Comfortable bed and soft towels. Owner provided useful information re restaurants & pubs.

Small shower. No water/ glasses in the room.

Had a little problem in our room first night and it was sorted very quickly. Put in another room with exceptional facilities at no extra cost. Bob and Jane were excellent hosts and couldn't do enough for us. Very friendly couple. Breakfast was amazing. Would recommend to anyone.

Can't say there was any we didn't like at all. Only downfall which wasn't the hosts fault, was the local restaurants only opened from Thursdays.
