Downton Lodge Country B&B

This B&B could not be set in a more magical place. Our hosts, Andrew & Martin, were so lovely and took such care to make sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. I really hope we find our way back to this little paradise!

Had an excellent stay at Downton Lodge for 2 nights. Superb property and well appointed rooms. Whilst located down a working farm track and quite a walk into Dittisham this is made up for by the welcome and the breakfast. You do need regular use of the car. Would recommend and definitely stay again when in the area.

Outstanding Self Catering barn conversion. This was our second visit to Downton Lodge. We previously stayed in the B&B which was fantastic with gorgeous breakfasts. The barn conversion is a home from home, with everything decorated furnished and cleaned to an extremely high standard. I slept so well and enjoyed every moment. Beautiful location so convenient for the ferry to Greenway. Dartmouth is gorgeous; what is not to like. Huge thanks Andrew and Martin.

Cleanliness excellent, views superb, food first class. Can’t praise our stay enough.

A super stay. The house is pristine and Andrew and Martin seem to have anticipated any requirements that may arise. We had very comfortable nights with lovely decor in our Art Deco room and also with the highest quality of bedding; better than any that we have experienced elsewhere. Breakfasts were super, in particular the very fresh, fruit salads. The rural location is quiet , with lovely distant views. Very relaxing. Would highly recommend.

We had such a wonderful stay at Downton Lodge. Martin and Andrew are amazing hosts and it’s clear to see how much attention to detail goes into all they do. Our room was lovely, very tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Having our own little patio area was perfect as we had our dog with us. She was a very happy pooch as there was a jar of treats in the room for her which was lovely touch. For us there was water and fresh milk in the fridge for teas and coffees (a great selection) and a jar of biscuits. Martin and Andrew have good knowledge of the area and kindly provided maps so we were able to find our way on foot into Dartmouth and local beaches. The B&B is in such a quiet and rural location and we would definitely recommend walking into Dartmouth and taking in the surrounding countryside and woodland. Breakfast was so good! The home made muesli with yoghurt and fresh fruit was delicious and the breakfast cooked by Andrew was perfect! Everything about our stay was spot on! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying here! It’s a little gem of a place and we will definitely be booking again.

What a truly wonderful find. Andrew and Martin are super hosts. From their warm and friendly welcome and throughout our stay, we enjoyed a lovely week in their stunning home. Our attractively decorated and beautifully furnished room was so comfortable and cosy. A comfy bed is most important to us. Breakfast was delicious with top quality ingredients and fresh fruit, served in the conservatory overlooking the gorgeous gardens and countryside beyond. The location is so quiet and peaceful, we heard an owl at night. We would not hesitate to recommend Downton Lodge at any time of year, and we shall definitely return at some point. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Anne & John Gliddon. Bristol

Delightful accommodation. We stayed in the self- catering Barn which was perfect for us. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside from all aspects and provided us with perfect kitchen facilities. A bonus was the opportunity to enjoy a delicious breakfast prepared by Andrew on those mornings when we wanted a special treat. Both Andrew and Martin were very welcoming and were able to provide us with valuable information on the local area. We would certainly like to make a return visit.
