this would be our 2nd visit with a 3rd already planned and booked, one might be accused of being biased but this is truly not the case. I have travelled this country for the last 25 years and have found some very 'inadequate' hotels and b&b's during this time and although i'm not usually one to voice my thoughts on... More

From the moment we arrived, the wonderfull cream tea, the welcome, the atmosphere, and astounding views. This is what B&B should be. Ask for the Myrtleberry room. Mike and Karen are hosts from heaven. Breakfast out of this world. We will be back ! More

From the friendly welcome (with an exceptional cream tea), well appointed rooms with fabulous sea views - our 4 night stay was spot on perfect. The breakfasts are to die for - such a choice!! Mike and Karen made us feel really comfortable in their lovely home, it was a great 'get away from it' all break - and the... More

We stayed in the Myrtleberry for 2nights, a lovely room, clean & decorated to a high standard, fabulous sea views. The Breakfast Menu was vast & the breakfast itself was very good! Karen & Mike the owners both were friendly & had good sense of humour, they found time to have a chat even though they were full with other... More

We stayed in the Countisbury room. It was very clean, spacious and had great views over the sea. Tea and coffee facilities were good, with lots of types of tea available. The bathroom was equipped with good toiletries, and had a double-ended bath. We found the owners to be helpful yet unobtrusive, which is just what we like. The information... More

The owner, Mike seems to have attracted the attention of followers of Basil Fawlty, according to some of these reviews. We were booked for three nights, and unhappily were forced to cancel at the very last minute, due to my becoming ill the night before our departure. Eve, my wife rang and was not surprised to find we had lost... More

As owners of Highcliffe House, Karen & I felt that the recent review posted by "willy91186406" needed a response. We were rather surprised and shocked as we have never had any telephone communication with Willy, the booking was made by Willy's wife Eve via our online booking system which like all booking systems has a tick box to ensure you...

I would have liked to rate this B&B higher as on first impressions it looks great. Stunning views, comfortable rooms, clean and tidy, extensive breakfast menu etc. Where it all went wrong was in the delivery. It was overly efficient and at times the manner of the host was unduly terse. Just as we were leaving, Karen popped her head... More

We were warmly welcomed on arrival and given a delicious cream tea which we ate outside on a terrace in the sunshine - a great start to our break. Our room, Summerhouse, was large, spotlessly clean and had lovely antique furniture. It was an extremely quiet location while the view out across the Bristol Channel to Wales was stunning.
