I have stayed here many times. Southern Cross is an ancient Devon thatched cottage and grade 2 listed building. It is quaint and quirky. The service is brilliant, the breakfast is excellent and very dog friendly. I always enjoy my stay.

Overnight stay

This was an overnight stay. It was easy to find and there was a convenient car park. Our host answered the door immediately and showed us up the room. It is a very old building with beams and sloping floors and has lots of character. The room was comfortable and warm. We had our evening meal in a pub called The Canon Inn in the village which was excellent. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. Thanks for a lovely stay

Idyllic B & B in a great location.

Charismatic Inn!

We received a lovely warm welcome to this incredibly charismatic guest house. Stayed in a twin room with my sister as we were passing through on our travels - the room was clean and warm, and the beds were comfy. Breakfast was good - cereals, full English and toast. Would definitely return, and would highly recommend.

18th c cob house with original features and furniture and fittings to match. Pleasant hosts who also offer cream teams. Lovey breakfast and choice of options. Unfortunately our room number 2 was adjacent main rd and heavy traffic was noticeable right under the window. Shower was unsuitable as water pressure low it dribbles out. Very old and tired decor which although in sitting with the propery was not our liking and in our opinion needs updating as very worn. Good value for money that said.
