Idyllic B & B in a great location.
Always have an amazing stay at Southern Cross Guest House. You’re always made to feel very welcome and the rooms are so comfortable and there’s everything you need. Breakfast is absolutely delicious too. Such is in a great location for Sidmouth and its idyllic boutique shops and the wonderful donkey sanctuary too.

Charismatic Inn!
We received a lovely warm welcome to this incredibly charismatic guest house.
Stayed in a twin room with my sister as we were passing through on our travels - the room was clean and warm, and the beds were comfy. Breakfast was good - cereals, full English and toast.
Would definitely return, and would highly recommend.

An old fashioned tea room /Bed and breakfast. A wonderful old building with thick walls and beams .
Friendly owners and a single room with facilities next door. En-suites are available.
A great full English complete with homemade marmalade.
I will return.

18th c cob house with original features and furniture and fittings to match.
Pleasant hosts who also offer cream teams.
Lovey breakfast and choice of options.
Unfortunately our room number 2 was adjacent main rd and heavy traffic was noticeable right under the window.
Shower was unsuitable as water pressure low it dribbles out.
Very old and tired decor which although in sitting with the propery was not our liking and in our opinion needs updating as very worn.
Good value for money that said.

Lovely old property. Very clean. Owners very friendly. Breakfast very good. Lovely looking garden.
Little niggles! Shower didn't work very well. Our room was next to the road and we were aware of the traffic.
Would go there again.

Nice little guest house near Sidmouth
Very pkeasnt stay. Room and shiwer was fairly basic but comfortable. Dog friendly location with a lovely garden where we enjoyed a superb cream tea. In the evening we asked if we could drink our own wine in the garden. The owners respobded in a positive way even iffering glasses. Recommended.

Worth visiting for the cream teas alone!
The cream teas alone were good enough to justify a 5 star review. The breakfast simply reinforced this.
