Plantation House

We booked on recommendation for a friends wedding and without knowing this is a Sawdays hotel. Without doubt the best small hotel we've ever stayed in! On whatever scale you judge: room, cleanliness, staff, facilities, it scores top marks. A real credit to the owners and their staff. And the food!! A wonderful 2 night stay in perfect accommodation. Thank you.

Richard and his well trained and attentive staff made our stay a highlight of our first post-lockdown visit to England and friends. The location is excellent fo exploring the South Coast, Plymouth, and Dartmoor. Our room (#12) was cozy and pleasant. Breakfast is a treat, ordered beforehand and served at table in the morning while dinners are locally sourced and beautifully cooked and presented, with a well thought-out (and reasonably priced) wine list. The bar includes one of the best selections of single malts south of the Tweed! We look forward to returning.

An absolute treat... Richard and his team were gracious and accommodating when one became two at very short notice and the length of our stay altered... We arrived 'after diner' and were still warmly welcomed and willingly very well fed. The Moules Bouillabaisse is superb as is the John Dory on risotto. Location is tranquil... with a discrete terrace for reading. Ideal location for walkers, surfers and divers to base themselves. Comfortable beds and oodles of hot water... Richard's team is a credit to him. An unfussy and elegant escape... which will be returned to before the Summer is out

We had invited 14 friends to join us to celebrate Paul's 50th birthday. We couldn't have picked a better venue! We had drinks in the elegant bar before heading to our own dining room for our meal which was superb! We couldn't fault the accommodation which was spotless, serene and beautifully appointed. The attention to detail and extra touches provided were worthy of five star accommodation in London. Robes, bottles of water, a basket of fruit and snacks placed on the rattan coffee table and comfortable chairs from which we could take in the gorgeous Devon Countryside made our weekend special.
