    Piper and Terrence went above and beyond in their hosting. I felt immediately so verywelcome. They put me at ease helping with some transport plans for the next day. They run an incredible hotel and have an impressive work ethic. I would highly recommend The Devonian and wish I could have stayed longer than one night after walking the South West Coast Path so I could enjoy their wide range of facilities and enjoy chilling out there some more. It will be a treasured memory from my time walking the path, passing through, especially as a solo traveller where friendly people and kindness makes all the difference to ones experience. It's a beautiful place, and there is a lovely wild garden which is a surprising delight. They run the place just the two of them, which really is an exceptional achievement. Also incredibly good value for all I received. Oh and the breakfast - set me up for the day, healthy and delicious. Brilliant experience! Thank you and great to meet you both.

    Nothing at all

    Absolutely stunning place throughout. Attention to detail was excellent from the decor to products in the room to the welcome by the staff. Fantastic choice at breakfast. I had the scrumpet which far exceeded my expectation. Smoked salmon, scrambled eggs with crème fraiche and chives on a crumpet. This hotel epitomised quality.

    Very little to complain about with regards to the accommodation.

    The guest house was exceptionally clean & very comfortable. The decor was very relaxing and the hosts very friendly and personable. There was a very nice vibe about the place and emphasis placed on making the stay enjoyable. Good choice of breakfast options with choice of sittings which were very conveniently timed.

    Loved everything about The Devonian. The hosts, the decor, the facilities, the room, the comfy beds, the lovely breakfast. Everywhere you looked there were thoughtful touches, like the stamped postcard. This B&B oozes the love that Terence and Piper clearly have for it and for making their guests as comfortable as possible.
