Stunning rooms, exceptional standards. Peter and Sue made us feel very welcome. Top rate hotel standards in a gorgeous country cottage, will definitely stay there again. The breakfast was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Fresh flowers in the rooms, even in the bathrooms.

Our 2nd visit and we had a lovely time. Thankyou for the perfect weekend break. Those special extras of warm home made scones, biscuits and cakes, not to forget those homely touches of fresh flowers. Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you again. Sheila and Keith.

Everything was as lovely as the description and pictures on the website and Pete and Sue made us feel very welcome. We stayed just for one night in Camry and it was perfect. It was the attention to detail that made our stay so special, such as the beautiful fragrant roses in the bedroom, lovely bubble bath for the roll... More

Drove to the B&B after a day at Lyme regis, whether was fantastic, had trouble finding it as Pete admitted he had forgotten to put the sign out? The house itself is lovely from the outside and decorated to perfection on the inside, Pete said when they bought it it was a shell, not any more. We arrived and was... More

Beautiful area, fantastic accommodation wonderful hosts. Need I say more, just stay there and tell the premier inn to get lost, you won't regret it. The view at the back is amazing. The local eateries are nice and Pete and Sue who own the place could not be more hospitable.

So pleased to have stayed at Hunters Cottage. Everything from the location to the decor to the personal service was a joy to behold. Having arrived later than expected, we received a warm welcome and a very kind offer of hot drinks which, to our delight, were accompanied by warm homemade cakes! The wet room is wonderful and its given... More

The best place we have ever stayed. Peter made us feel immediately welcome. The breakfast was amazing and we were full for hours. The bed and breakfast itself was stunning, beautifully decorated, every little detail perfect. Looking forward to coming back in September

Hi Lindsey and thank you for your lovely review. It was enjoyable having you both stay here - and of course, to have a carpenter admire the woodwork is the greatest compliment a man could give me! Hope everything is going okay with your daughter. Hope we see you in September., My very best wishes, Pete More

A wonderful (but too short) stay at Hunter's Cottage. Attention to detail great, from the yummy breakfast in the morning to the thoughtful hot water bottle for night.

The owner greeted me politely and immediately made me feel at home. The service from then on was friendly and of a very high standard. (nothing appeared to be too much trouble) The room and bathroom were decorated and fitted out to the standard you would expect in a 4/5 star hotel. The breakfast was absolutely splendid, with lots of... More
