We've been incredibly successful since opening over eight years ago.
Listed on this page are just some of our many awards and accolades.
One of our latest awards is Editor's Choice in the prestigious Good Hotel Guide, winning for being "quirky" - who said luxury and quality need to be boring?
In June 2022, we won Gold for B&B of the Year in the national Visit England Awards for Excellence in Birmingham. This was the culmination of a long process after being crowned Best B&B in the South West Tourism Excellence Awards as well as the Devon Tourism Awards.
We were named THE Best B&B in the World (out of almost a million!) two years running by TripAdvisor in their annual Travellers' Choice awards, which are based on independent reviews. We have been in the top 1% of all B&Bs in the UK for the last seven years and currently rank 15th.
We were honoured to be bestowed a Tourism Business Leader award by the Devon Tourism Awards judging panel in 2022, and we also won Self-employed / Sole trader of the year for the South West region in the Federation of Small Business awards in May 2021.
In April 2018, we won Unique B&B of the Year for Great Britain at The AA B&B Awards.
Come and see for yourself why we've won so many awards.
