I rarely take the time to review, but after the most wonderful week-end at Springfield, felt it should be shared. I stayed in the Holiday flat, which is tastefully funished and decorated, luxury bathrooms and huge comfortable beds. This would sleep four people, . The front view was overlooking the sea. Springfield also does Bed and breakfast rooms, and breakfast... More

We also stopped for a night whilst walking the coast path - fabulous bath, home-made cake, tea and sherry to revive us! Our room had a wonderful bed (Vi-spring mattress and electric blanket on a chilly night). Great to hear the history of the village - like staying in someone's ancestral home!

Well, simply just the best, lovely bedrooms / bathrooms / beds /cakes / breakfast. Lucinda and Edward go out of their way for you, even pick you up after walking or take you to the start point. We even left our car with them for the week. We were doing the coastal path and this was the start of the... More

We arranged to stay for 2 nights while walking coastal path with friends. It was a cold, dreary weekend weather wise but Springfield anything but. Wonderful homemade sponge cake in front of a real fire when we arrived. There are 2 bedrooms both have fantastic big baths wonderful for a soak at the end of day. The smaller bedroom also... More

After a 20 mile walk we were more than ready for afternoon tea served by Edward in the fabulous drawing room overlooking Instow harbour. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable with great views of the harbour, our friends had the biggest bed we'd ever seen! Dinner was at the nearby Commodore Hotel which was very welcoming and relaxing. Edward... More

We had a great one night stay in the separate, self-catering, house. This was made all the more enjoyable by the provision of afternoon tea shortly after our arrival, fresh milk/tea/coffee, a tin of scrummy biscuits and a decanter of sherry waiting for us, a roll top bath for relaxing in after a hard day's walk, the most comfortable bed...

Simply put Springfield House was a great place to stay. Edward was fantastic and looked after our requirements very well, even looking after the car for a week! Had some great chats about antiques as well as other topics. Fantastic rooms and the breakfast was a gem. Thanks Ed, and hopefully see you next year!

Springfield House stands in an elevated position overlooking the Estuary at Instow. The ever-changing view of the boats and the tide is wonderful and we spent several hours in the very comfortable chair by the window just relaxing and watching... Both Ed and Lucinda made us feel very welcome during our stay, the highlight being a fabulous cream tea (with... More

We stayed at Springfield House while walking part of the South West Coastal Path with friends. The welcome and hospitality of Lucinda and Edward were second to none. Beautiful rooms with great views and all amenities you need.Nothing was too much trouble. Will definately return.

We were very lucky to find Springfield house and stayed for four nights whilst we were attending a family wedding. We were fortunate to be allocated the "Old School room", a very comfortable and well appointed fully equipped self catering house adjacent to the main building. It has everything you would need, TV, washing machine, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, plenty... More
