Great stop-over in the South West Coast Path walk
Pros:

Rooms were very clean and the beds were super-soft!

Cons:

We were on the ground floor in a dual-single room. Everything about the room was great - except there was an extractor / fan / generator that ran throughout the whole night! And it was really loud. Wanted to speak to the landlord about it the next morning but no-one was around.

Lovely.
Pros:

A lovely pub and B &B. Had a very nice feel to it as soon as we walked in. Friendly staff, easy connection with locals in the pub. Room was lovely and bright, spacious. Good food in the pub and for breakfast. Probably our favourite place to stay in our two weeks of travelling.
