This is an 18th century property with a thatched roof that serves cream teas in the afternoon. It has lots of character and won't be for those looking for a modern place to stay. If you have mobilty issues, the steep stairs may also be a problem. However, it not all olde world, there is free internet, lots of easy parking and a breakfast menu that should have enough options to suit everyone.

Cosy clean traditional Bed and Breakfast

Lovely homely traditional B&B in beautiful historic thatched cottage. Fantastic location for Sidmouth, Seaton and Lyme Regis. Lovely full english breakfast with perfectly cooked fried eggs, real butter for the toast, and amazing homemade marmalade. Friendly and helpful host.

Excellent stay in a guest house with character.

Warm welcome, felt comfortable. Lovely quirky guest house with character added to the experience. Subtle servicing of the room. Breakfast was delicious with very accommodating service. Well positioned to visit the small villages of East Devon and only three miles from the coast. Will def consider staying again.

A beautiful, quiet, clean and comfortable hotel and bedroom. Loved the history of the building. Extremely weloming and friendly service. Our hosts went above and beyond. We will definitely be back and were so grateful for the wonderful care given to us. Parking on site was easy and the local pub a short walk away. Highly recommend, thoroughly enjoyed the cream tea and delicious breakfast.

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.

Always have an amazing stay at Southern Cross Guest House. You’re always made to feel very welcome and the rooms are so comfortable and there’s everything you need.

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.
