Myself and my partner were made very welcome this last weekend May Bank Weekend. The service was second to none. The Rooms were brilliant - very clean - very well organised - lots of extras. The food was also excellent - very good quality and more than enough. Would tell anyone to go. Janice and Martyn from the West Midlands

The shower, the breakfast, the bed and the hospitality of the owners, are simply the best. One could not ask more after a long day's walk from Lynmouth. Of courese John and Elaine covered the essential B&B grounds perfectly, but what really touched me was how thoughtful they have showed through the details, such as the emergency toiletry bag on...

John and Elaine were very welcoming and Rose Bank lived up to what we had been told by the friends we went with. The accommodation was clean and welcoming and the little touches like fresh flowers, sweets and bottled water were very appreciated. The service we received at breakfast was first class and every thing we wanted was provided and... More

Really superb on so many levels. Wonderful spot with a perfect mix of sea and country. The owners were super friendly and lent us their lovely 2 dogs to walk every day! Will definitely return. Would recommend walking down to the weir and to the smallest complete parish church. We had dinner at the guest house and it was lovely,... More

We had a 2 night break at the Rose Bank and it was superb. John and Elaine went to great lengths to ensure that we had everything we needed. The en suite room was spotlessly clean with all the ameneties that you could want. The food was brilliant and was cooked to order. The location is ideal for getting out... More

We stayed for two nights and there is absolutely nothing not to like about this place. Very friendly welcome, lovely room with great view, fantastic food, private parking and all in a delightful little town right on the edge of Exmoor. Really can't recommend enough. Thanks for a lovely stay.
