“Fantastic B&B with superlative hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed overnight at this wonderful Bed & Breakfast whilst taking my wife for an evening meal the the River Cottage canteen

I booked over the phone with Judy, she gave the air of being a great hostess and she is a very laid back and delightful lady

The B&B is extremely easy to find and has ample off road parking

Our room was beautiful, modern and very clean (and lovely and warm as well) had an excellent small en suite bathroom with a shower cubicle but no bath (no problem there) and the power shower was brilliant

Our room was very nicely decorated and furnished and the bed was very comfortable, plenty of wardrobe space

Breakfast in the morning was very well organised, we had a cereal bowl of chopped/diced/sliced fruit each ready and waiting for us at our table when we walked in to the dining room, there were all the usual suspects ready to choose from: fresh fruit, a good variety of cereals, juice,yoghurts etc. Judy sorted out a really nice cooked breakfast and toast with lashings of hot and very good quality coffee.

Would I stay here again? Undoubtedly a big YES from both me and my wife

A really nice place, charming hosts and Axminster seems a lovely place to visit

As for the meal at the River Cottage Canteen? Fabulous

Am already looking forward to visiting both establishment again in the future

“Exceptional B&B,highly recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Traveled to Axminster for a wedding anniversary celebration and stayed one night at Highfield B&B,easy to find and 10 minute walk from town centre.
The house is absolutely lovely and the bedroom was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and cosy. Judy and Hedley are the perfect hosts, they treat you like friends and go out of their way to make you feel at ease,Hedley even dropped us into town in the evening.
Delicious huge breakfast next morning,probably the best I've had at any top hotel/B&B
Would highly recommend Highfield and would definitely use again.

“Superlative hopsitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

Our recent stay at Highfield exceeded our expectations and couldn't have been bettered. Judy and Hedley did everything possible to make us welcome and meet our needs from the first to last minute. Nothing was too much trouble and consequently we thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing short stay in Axminster - eating extremely well at breakfast and feeling nicely pampered in the lovely bedroom and bathroom facilities. What a great place to stay - so much more personal, friendly and peaceful than many of the hotels we have stayed in elsewhere. We would love to visit again and recommend that you do if you need a base in this gorgeous part of the English countryside.

“A great stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011

This was my first stay,although my mother had visited a few times previously. We were made so welcome and comfortable right from the off: Judy and Hedley have an amazing ability to make you instantly feel like a friend.

Our room was ideal and had everything we could possibly need and the breakfast was absolutey yummy, especially featuring local produce.

I'd thoroughly recommend it.
