Contemporary, friendly, exotic and exquisite: French sleigh beds and Asian art, white basins and black chandeliers, and a garden with sofas for the views. So much to love – and best of all, the coastal path outside the door. Your caring hosts live the dream, running immaculate B&B by the sea, in an old manor house at the top of the village. Breakfasts are exuberantly local (village eggs, sausages from Dartmouth, honey from the bay), there’s a wood-burner in the sitting room, warm toasty floors and Kevin and Stuart know exactly which beach, walk or pub is the one for you. Heavenly.
Good things do come out of the pandemic. We should have been in the South of France but Strete Barton House instead which was better. Regardless of the stunning weather, our accommodation was immaculate (with sea view), breakfasts delicious topped off by perfect hosts, Stuart and Kevin. The two minute walk to a gem of a pub, The Kings Arms, was the icing on the cake.
