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.
