What a beautiful, quirky, homely, little place! This place was perfect for our trip to Devon for tar barrels. It felt very cottagey with the low ceilings and beams and higgeldy-piggeldy layout. We had a comfortable stay, the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, the beds were comfy, there was more than enough room for a group of 6 to relax in the space. The bathroom was beautifull, shower was hot. The parking was very tight to get into for a medium/large vehicle due to the scaffolding present. We parked our VW camper up the road in the car park they suggested as it was only about £2 for 24h. Having stayed in Honiton before, we knew the location would be great and we were right in the centre so all the shops and restaurants, pubs etc were just a few steps away. Would stay here again!
