“Great rooms - ideal for what we wanted”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2010

We had 7 rooms for a group of motorcyclists - 2 couples and the rest singles. We turned up after 1830 pm to find both owners cheefully waiting for us. Check in couldn't have been simpler - I had booked so I just signed and was given all the keys with instructions as to which rooms were for couples and which for singles. Everyone was delighted with their rooms and the bathrooms were viewed as very good. There was a carpark for the bikes, the rooms were big enough for bike kit (the jackets fitted in the wardrobes), there were lashings of hot water for a shower, no fuss at check in, breakfast at a time we chose..... Our group is used to staying in 4/5 star in London so our expectations were high. We were all delighted - and loved the fact we effectively "took over" the house.

Breakfast was great - my husband got his porridge and I got my poached eggs on toast. Tea was hot and strong and the coffee was generous rather than little cups (proper cafetieres).

Would recommend this particuarly to bikers - it''s really bike friendly and the owners are really friendly.

“Rather Nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2010

I spent a couple of nights at Fairway Lodge and overall, I rate it as a very nice place to stay. The hosts are welcoming and chatty and there is a good first impression. The grounds are very well kept and there is ample parking. Although I was a lone guest, I had a very clean, but basic double room with en suite. Both were spotless. Tea and coffee makings with a jug of filtered water were also provided. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were great (not those cheapo hollow fibre items from discount shops). The room was also equipped with a widescreen digital TV.
The only complaint I have was was the acoustics of the lodge. The guests upstairs were very noisy especially their TV but Dawn did get them to turn it down. Another family arrived on day 2 and did nothing but slam doors especially in the early evening. Breakfast was outstanding and served in a breakfast room. Given the location and time of year, the prices were just about right. Overall, this is a nice place to stay convenient for Dartmoor and north Devon.

“top noutch B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2009

as someone who cannot relax when not in my own bed this is the first time I have ever felt comfortable staying in accomadation.It dosent matter what star rating a place has I have to feel at home,and until now never felt happy in guest houses or hotels. This place actually made me feel I wanted to stay for longer.Dawn and her partner made us feel so welcome after our traumatic weekend doing the ten tors! even though sunday night was their night off from kitchen duties they let us eat in their dining room and served us with well needed drinks.I felt that nothing was too much trouble and they obviously had a good business ethos.The rooms were comfortable,showers efficient and cleanliness of the place was top noutch.The cooked breakfast was superb ,one of the best ever!in my opinion this place should be higher up the list of B&Bs in the area.

“Special feeling of hospitallity”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2008

Richard and Dawn of the Fairway lodge gives you the feeling to be a special guest in their very nice Hotel. The breakfast is also special because of the verity of products from farmers around. The room was very nice and comfortable.

“Very pleasant, good food and well run”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2008

We stayed one night recently and were very pleased with our accomodation and the breakfast was really superb. Well located for reaching all parts of Devon and East Cornwall.

The current owners have only been here about 14 months but have already transformed the place from what it was. There is good info on Devon in the reception room with maps and touch points etc, and the info pack in the bedrooms is very informative.

The property is well maintained and the rooms nicely equiped and very clean - our shower room was very new and well fitted. However the floorbords creaked quite a bit when the upstairs guests came back late at night - a small critisism and dificult to rectify I would imagine.

We would definitley stay again and do reccomend the place to others.
