We stayed in the Coach House which provided accommodation for a couple. Beautifully presented and had everything we needed for our stay. The only thing we felt was missing was a comfy chair. The family were lovely and very welcoming, there were fresh eggs and milk waiting for us. The location is stunning, an oasis away from the stresses of life, yet minutes away from many wonderful places to visit and explore. The resident animals were lovely and they made our visit even more special. Thank you Amy,Jarred and family, we didn't want to leave. 😊

The coach house

The house and grounds are magnificent. A charming former rectory, that has been tastefully renovated and furnished, it was a pleasure to stay here. Viviane is a warm and friendly hostess and we felt privileged in so many ways that we were able to stay here. The grounds are an added pleasure to walk around. Our dogs were made welcome and though the house is old, there was no lack of comfort. The cost of staying was very reasonable.
This was a weekend stay that will live long in the memory.

Charming... both the house and the owner

Spent four nights in this restored Georgian rectory with brilliant views and beautiful grounds . Very helpful owner/host - it felt like staying in her slightly quirky home. Not a conventional hotel experience, but if you appreciate something a little different, you may well love this – I did.

Rural, remote and romantic

Gorgeous house in the middle of fields, one thing to note is the satnav didn't take us the right way with the postcode (took us down a country lane which wasn't the safest) make sure to travel down A39 to Parsonage Lane. Blown away by the beautifully kept gardens and peaceful sheep filled fields. House is Georgian style and well managed by Vivienne even during the Covid period with set times for breakfast. Vivienne gave us good tips around booking restaurants in advance - would recommend The Black Venus (10min drive, nothing walkable). Great stay and have already recommended to others. 

Relaxation 

We booked a last minute night away, when we arrived Vivien the owner was very friendly and welcoming.. But when we went to our room it was freezing cold only a small radiator to heat a large room... We slept in our clothes all night.. And it was far to cold to use the shower. Breakfast was OK. Nothing special. Really felt for the cost it certainly wasn't value for money.. Don't think we'll be visiting again.

Cold cold cold

We had a great stay at Beachborough House. The house is tastefully decorated and cosy. 
We had a beautiful view from our room and the bed was very comfortable.
Breakfast was very good and there was an open fire.
Viviane was very helpful and we will definitely return.

Lovely Country Stay

We stayed here to go to Kentisbury Grange which is just up the road, The B&B is a lovely house with a lovely garden,
The room we had was ok quirky with a nice big bathroom, I did feel it was expensive enough for what you got and in need of a bit of TLC but it clearly takes allot of upkeep, We did have a lovely breakfast

Lovely place

An elegant home set in glorious Devon countryside. A peaceful haven where you can relax and enjoy being transported to another time. A traditional English home that is decorated with care and attention to detail and bringing history to life. With original roaring fireplaces and elegant rustic shutters at the tall bay windows this house is a treat. Do not expect all the mod cons of today but rather a glorious country home that has all the delights and charm of a truely English Rectory. Wonderful hospitality and service. A delight.

Timeless elegance. A wonderful stay.

We won't be returning... the host Vivian was lovely and friendly offered us tea on arrival and helped to book a meal at the local pub that evening. Breakfast time was agreed.
Then it all went downhill from there...the heating went off in the evening and we froze until it slowly came on at around 7.
The rugs either side of the bed was lethal as no non slip rubber attached. We rolled ours out of the way.
The room need a good cleaning, dust on the mantlepiece ornaments, mirrors and tea cloth. The cups weren't clean and there was no milk provided.
We weren't shown the guest sitting room, but that would have been truly uncomfortable to use, as the hosts were hosting their OWN private party.
So having returned from the pub at 8.45( due to jet lag as working abroad) the noise, banging of dining room door, kitchen and front door accompanied by shouting, singing and laughter went on til just before 11.
I haven't attended a hotel where the owners throw such a noisy party when they have paying guests???
The bathroom towel (yes just one each and no hand towel) was a sad, tired, dirty brown colour.
I had the owners dog sniffing outside our room, no problem as we also brought our dog.
BUT when we left our room to take the dog for a final garden visit that evening  to our horror their dog had gone to toilet on the landing!!
I had to disturb the party to get Vivian to clean up the poo.
On return from our garden visit there still remained poo on the rug, so I had to ask her again to clear it. Lovely nasty stains on the rug the next morning!!!
I cannot imagine recommending this guest house to anyone.
It is certainly gives the feel of more of a hobby than a professional business.
I have been involved in customer service for the last 30 years.
Was it worth a £100 for 2 adults and a dog for one night, certainly not!

Faulty Towers Experience!!!

This business desperatley needs a substantial injection of capital to bring it up to even minimum acceptable modern standards. Despite the very best hospitality endeavours of the host, the quality and availability of basic facilities and comforts is poor. Rooms are underheated and over ventilated. Unless one wants to experience life as it was in Britain  just after World War 2, the Beachborough is best avoided. The building and location have great potential for the provision of quality accommodation but it will need vision and plenty of money to achieve that goal.
