    Superb breakfast. Polite helpful staff. Interesting interior decor, probably an interior designer involved. Lovely fish restaurant 5 minutes walk away, Spiny Lobster with fresh fish from Brixham. Good view of the Downs from my bedroom. Great range of tea and coffee in room. Lovely bathroom and area to sit at a table.

    We stayed for 6 nights in this lovely, cleverly designed and tastefully decorated Shepherds hut. A great location - wonderfully quiet and peaceful. The owner was very friendly and told us of a great 5 mile circular walk from the Shepherds hut, going through open fields and woodland, passing abundant wildlife, horses, Alpacas and herdwick sheep! It was easy to visit both Bristol and Bath. We used park and ride so no problem parking and a very cheap form of travel. We would definitely recommend.
