Lobhill Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast and Self Catering Accommodation

Brief but enjoyable stop in...

Liked: Jane was a most welcoming host, and attentive to our needs without being intrusive. The breakfast was well cooked and the eating area comfortable and spacious, Lobhill Farmhouse is served by a good road, without that being so close or busy that it intruded. It was a quiet spot, with little evidence of farming activity on the site itself, so it was lovely to sit in the garden, looking out over the farmhouse and adjacent hillsides with a chorus of birdsong from the woods behind us. Being invited to walk in this beautiful woodland was an unexpected bonus. Our twin room was smart and clean, with seating for both occupants, and the décor showed evidence of recent upgrade. It also had a nice view over the nearby hills.
Disliked: Nothing major. The beds were a bit softer than we prefer, though not sufficient to detract. The single shelf in the shower-room was a bit tight for laying out two people’s toiletries.

A quiet, beautiful place to...

Liked: Lobhill Farmhouse B&B near Lewdown sits just a bit off the boundary of Dartmoor National Park, making it an excellent place to stay while exploring the north and western sides of the moor. In fact, we spent our days walking the moor and visiting the tors. Our room was one of three in the B&B with comfy bed, pillows and duvet. The large bath had a good shower, racks for towels and adequate soaps. Breakfast begins with yogurt and a wonderful granola made and sold professionally by the owner's sister. Plenty of juice, coffee and tea, croissants, and so forth to accompany the full English breakfast ordered by menu the night before. Jane, the owner told us lots of history of the house and the local area. Adler Vineyards, next door, is in the family. They have been in the area for many years. There is a walk through the woodland down to the cafe in the vineyard. We never made it to the vineyard since we spent our time on the moor when it was open. Tip: The Castle Inn was our favourite place to eat dinner.
Disliked: The room we were in had a step down into the bathroom. A rail might be useful for the less nimble.

Country living at its finest

Liked: Lovely quiet and scenic location, yet close to the A30 for day trips. Super comfy bed and bedroom with spacious and well appointed ensuite. Sumptuous home prepared breakfasts carefully prepared and presented, providing more than enough to take you through the day. A true home away for home thanks to the wonderful care provided by our host Jane - thank you!
Disliked: Gentle warning: Jane’s caramel fudge and orange marmalade are addictive! :)

Beautiful room, gardens and delicious...

Liked: The room with views over the gardens was absolutely gorgeous, the gardens and woods behind the property were beautiful to walk in, lovely teas and fudge in room, the breakfast was delicious with lots of options and the host, Jane, went above and beyond during my stay including helping me get to a local wedding!
Disliked: I don't think the stay could have been much better for me! Local taxis can add up so having a car might be helpful

Liked: Superb breakfast,Beautiful building and wonderful host.
Disliked: The weather during our stay.

Comfortable, friendly and peaceful

Liked: The property was well signed, easy to access and in a great location - car parking was in front of the house. Jane (our host) was most welcoming, very friendly, looked after our needs well and made our stay very comfortable. The property sits in a tranquil location with extensive gardens, easily accessed and woodland surrounding it. The room we had chosen was spacious, had plenty of storage for clothes etc, the bed was very comfortable and in the en-suite there was a great shower. In the room there were tea and coffee making facilities and at the bottom of the stairs, there was a daily container of fresh milk available each day in a fridge - (Oh, and I musn't forget the little pot of fudge that was also left in the room - one of the little local treats you can but at Lob Hill Farmhouse) Breakfast was ordered the night before and freshly cooked in the morning along with toasted homemade bread. We knew that on one night we would not be back at the B&B until late but this was not a problem as we had a key to the front door. Overall, we had a great stay - Thankyou Jane. We would be happy to stay again and would recommend the property to others.
