Had an excellent stay at Downton Lodge for 2 nights. Superb property and well appointed rooms. Whilst located down a working farm track and quite a walk into Dittisham this is made up for by the welcome and the breakfast. You do need regular use of the car. Would recommend and definitely stay again when in the area.

Best B/B in Devon by a mile

What a fabulous location matched only by the 1st class room we stayed in. Andrew and Martin were the perfect hosts and we will definitely be recommending this brilliant B/B to everyone. It’s the best we’ve stayed in. The beds are comfy, the breakfasts excellent and the room we had was everything you hope for but don’t usually get. Well done guys. We will definitely be coming back.

Almost too good to want to share. An exquisitely presented, located and managed refuge in a lovely peaceful marine/ rural setting overlooking one of Britain's most beautiful river estuaries. Laid back, efficient, non intrusive owner management. You will relax! The best of British bed and breakfast hospitality Oh, and those breakfasts!

We experienced a lovely stay in this B&B set in the countryside. It was quiet and had ample parking. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever experienced in a B&B. The only criticism would be the size of the bathroom which was small.

A lovely three night stay at Downton Lodge. Martin and Andrew are excellent hosts who ensure that they run a guest house with very high standards. Lots of details have been considered to provide everything one might need whilst away from home. Breakfast is cooked very well with high quality ingredients, and the hosts known the area in depth so that they can advise their guests of what to do and see. Overall, an excellent stay.

Beautiful house and hospitable owners. Everything we needed for a relaxing break, comfy bed, good shower delicious breakfast and many small unexpected touches too -such as fresh milk and chilled water in a mini fridge. Andrew and Martin were wonderful hosts, always happy to suggest restaurants and advise on the best routes to take to get to them. ..... not easy on the narrow Devon lanes!

The stay was utterly wonderful. We were looking for a haven to escape to and we succeeded finding Downton Lodge. Downton Lodge is conveniently situated for the seaside, the moors and the towns. We can only say positive things about our stay and will certainly be returning.

First class, quality accommodation.

Just spent a lovely few days in this wonderful B&B. Everything first class from covid secure check-in to departure. Lovely large room overlooking fields, quiet and peaceful. Wonderful host Andrew, meticulous attention to detail. Really lovely breakfasts, all freshly prepared in the gorgeous country kitchen diner. Quality furnishings and special touches make this a perfect retreat and leaves you feeling quite spoilt 😊.
