We loved staying at Downtown Lodge. Set in the Devon Countryside just a short drive to Dartmouth the views are wonderful. Hosts Andrew and Martin were very friendly and welcoming and they provide a great breakfast. This is a very clean and comfortable place to stay.

A lovely three night stay at Downton Lodge. Martin and Andrew are excellent hosts who ensure that they run a guest house with very high standards. Lots of details have been considered to provide everything one might need whilst away from home. Breakfast is cooked very well with high quality ingredients, and the hosts known the area in depth so that they can advise their guests of what to do and see. Overall, an excellent stay.

FAB U LOUS

Beautiful house and hospitable owners. Everything we needed for a relaxing break, comfy bed, good shower delicious breakfast and many small unexpected touches too -such as fresh milk and chilled water in a mini fridge. Andrew and Martin were wonderful hosts, always happy to suggest restaurants and advise on the best routes to take to get to them. ..... not easy on the narrow Devon lanes!

Almost too good to want to share. An exquisitely presented, located and managed refuge in a lovely peaceful marine/ rural setting overlooking one of Britain's most beautiful river estuaries. Laid back, efficient, non intrusive owner management. You will relax! The best of British bed and breakfast hospitality Oh, and those breakfasts!

Best B/B in Devon by a mile

What a fabulous location matched only by the 1st class room we stayed in. Andrew and Martin were the perfect hosts and we will definitely be recommending this brilliant B/B to everyone. It’s the best we’ve stayed in. The beds are comfy, the breakfasts excellent and the room we had was everything you hope for but don’t usually get. Well done guys. We will definitely be coming back.

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.

The stay was utterly wonderful. We were looking for a haven to escape to and we succeeded finding Downton Lodge. Downton Lodge is conveniently situated for the seaside, the moors and the towns. We can only say positive things about our stay and will certainly be returning.

Just spent a lovely few days in this wonderful B&B. Everything first class from covid secure check-in to departure. Lovely large room overlooking fields, quiet and peaceful. Wonderful host Andrew, meticulous attention to detail. Really lovely breakfasts, all freshly prepared in the gorgeous country kitchen diner.

We booked our trip last minute and we are so glad we found availability at Downton Lodge. The property was fantastic, in an idyllic setting and beautifully decorated. Our room was very well appointed and the bed was enormous! Andrew & Martin clearly put a huge amount of effort in to the property, and they have considered every aspect to ensure guests have a comfortable stay. All current distance and hygiene requirements were followed. Highly recommended! We loved our stay and would love to come back soon. Sian & Lee

Downton Lodge is a B and B that won’t disappoint.

One of the best B and Bs we have stayed in for a long time. There is only praise for the service that Andrew and Martin provide for their guests. Top marks for the room and breakfast. The location is slightly off the beaten track but the reward is wonderful views from your bedroom. We look forward to the next opportunity to visit the Dartmouth area and stay at the Downton Lodge.
