Were the rooms clean? Were the hosts welcoming, knowledgeable and professional? Would I recommend the White Cottage B&B for those wanting to stay in a lovely village with good access to other parts of East Devon and beyond? Absolutely, yes! Not only would I recommend White Cottage B&B but I shall definitely stay there again on my next visit. The room and its ensuite, as well areas such like the dining room, the living room with its homely bar, were all very clean. The bed was very comfortable, the room nice and warm with useful coffee and tea-making facilities with a nice aspect overlooking the garden with its amazing, beautiful tree. the choice at breakfast is wide and if porridge is your thing, Steve makes a mean porridge! Delish! It's a lovely place - go stay!

Perfect hosts and lovely stay.

From the moment we arrived at the White Cottage we were made to feel warmly welcomed by Donna and Steve who turned out to be excellent hosts. We were shown around the property by Steve and then taken to our room. Our room was clean and comfortable with a large en suite including separate bath and shower. The room had tea and coffee, fresh bottled water and biscuits, plentiful towels and bathroom products. Breakfast was an ample choice of cereals, with fresh fruit, yoghurts and fruit juice followed by a generous, well cooked, course using quality ingredients. Donna and Steve go out of ther way to ensure the satisfaction of their guests in a friendly and professional manner and take pride in doing so. We will definitely be visiting again in the future and look forward to doing so!!
