Testimonials

We stayed in a spacious twin room, Dome, with comfy beds and glorious decor.

Everyone raves about the breakfasts, and quite right too. Not to be missed. We had some great tips about where to go for dinner and ideas for local walks.

We managed to find a 9 mile circular walk from the B&B down to Bolberry Down, along the coast path towards Salcombe, with a welcome tea break at Overbecks, before a gentle stroll back through the woods to Malborough, where we sat in the sun and enjoyed a cold beer and prosecco from the bar at Brightham House. A perfect day. A perfect getaway.

Top notch and top nosh - TripAdvisor Sept. 18

Breakfast was delicious, one of the best I’ve had.

The place was trendy and quaint in a great location with pubs nearby and the hosts were incredibly accommodating.

I would definitely stay here again!

Scott and Alistair were absolutely fantastic hosts! Perfect stay - Booking.com Sept. 18

We were looking for a stopover before attending my daughters graduation in Plymouth, and what a fantastic find we managed. Nothing was a disappointment! Even before we arrived a friendly text was received giving useful information on parking etc.

On arrival, nothing was too much trouble from Alistair and Scott, who have managed to create a lovely individual hotel. The tips and suggestions shared where to eat and visit in the area were invaluable and very helpful.

Everywhere was of the highest standard and cleanliness and demonstrated Alistair’s and Scott’s individual touches.

Shame the weather wasn’t better, so weren’t able to enjoy what looked like a lovely garden area. Where do you get a honesty bar anymore, stocked with unusual and local beers. Although we were in a bit of a hurry in the morning, the breakfast was one of the best! Our only problem was we were only booked for a short one night stay, so given the opportunity we will certainly be back.

Loved my room and felt really relaxed staying here. Lovely spot - Booking.com Sept.18

A fantastic B&B with loads of character, in a great location for discovering the Devon coastline.

The breakfasts were amazing and Scott and Alistair were really warm, friendly with plenty of handy local tips of where to go! Just a short drive to Salcombe and some gorgeous little quiet coves.

We would definitely come back again if heading down to Devon and would recommend to friends as well, thanks for a lovely relaxing few days!

Fantastic B&B in Devon - TripAdvisor Sept.18

The owners, Scott and Alistair have only recently taken over control of the hotel and they are doing a great job.

The place was spotless, the linen out of a five star hotel (Not literally, they did own it) and the breakfast choice was really, really great and extremely well cooked.

Peter

The whole place was a pleasure to stay in - Booking.com Sept.18

Scott and Alistair were the most fantastic hosts, taking care of every fine detail in their beautifully laid out and quirky design BnB.

From sending a text before arrival to inform us of best available parking, to welcoming us with a cup of tea on arrival were simple touches that set them apart from other places we’ve stayed.

The rooms offer the most comfortable bedding and towels, all of which were refreshed daily. A superb choice of breakfast was available which was included in our stay and we were able to enjoy something different everyday.

I highly recommend Brightham Boutique BnB to everyone and will definitely be returning next year.
