“A homely B&B with lovely owners.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

A return visit to Beechwood for us and the new owners are keeping up the standards previously set. We had a comfortable double room with adjacent bathroom. Breakfast was taken in the attractive new conservatory which has a pleasant view of the garden, pond and squirrels. The cooked breakfast was lovely and the owners provide a friendly service.
We have no hesitation in recommending Beechwood.

“Delightful setting, comfortable b&b”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011

A perfect setting in the middle of Dartmoor, with good access to east Cornwall and west Devon. Beechwood is a beautiful property, and our room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was generous, and we particularly liked the flexibility of not being tied to a particular time ('just turn up anytme between 8 and 8.45'); nor did we have to decide the evening before what we would like for breakfast - another plus. Lovely to be offered tea and cake on arrival, and Lynnette was friendly and helpful throughout.
Only niggles: the shower was VERY weak and there was some mould visible in the bathroom. Also, if something goes wrong (eg no water or electricity, which happened to us one morning), try knocking a bit off the bill - we'd be even more understanding then.

“Great port in a storm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

No storm, but we hadn't booked any accommodation and were incredibly lucky to get into Beechwood B&B. We 3 singles got 2 reasonably-priced twin rooms in their own alcove with shared bathroom for our exclusive use. Rooms were well-appointed, very clean, and breakfast was a wide choice of freshly-cooked ingredients, including fabulous fresh eggs from their own chickens. Hosts Adam and Lyn were really friendly and helpful. As Postbridge lies at the centre of Dartmoor this will be our B&B of choice for all future stays in the region.

“Kind, welcoming, great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011

I stayed just 2 days at Beechwood. The host and hostess were absolutely charming; pleasant, welcoming, friendly, but not overbearing. The room was fine with tea and coffee. The bedroom and bathroom were both spotlessly clean. The first night I went down to the local pub in the evening. The second night I stayed in the guest lounge with a bottle of red and a book.

Breakfast consisted of fruit, cereal, toast, granola and muesli, and a dream fried breakfast, with huge cafetiere of coffee.

The place is not posh, but it is absolutely charming with a wild butterfly meadow at the back, a breakfast room which gets the beautiful morning sun, and a garden with a couple of picnic tables to sit at on a sunny afternoon. It also belongs to the Dartmoor Wealth of Wildlife Association, recognising the importance of the butterfly meadows it has, and Beechwood's efforts to minimise carbon footprints and remain ecologically sound.

Adam and Lynette also provided good advice and gave great suggestions for walking and rambling around the immediate area, and have quite a few printed maps with routes on them which you can borrow to do walks of different lengths and difficulty around Postbridge and the White Tor.

I can't recommend this place enough!

“Excellent location for walking”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2011 via mobile

This is a nice B&B in an excellent location for hiking. The hosts are very friendly and helpful with maps, walking sticks an even rain pants if you need them. We had the family room with two people which was quite roomy. It was was very clean and had a bath which was nice after a rainy hike.
The only place in town to eat seems to be the East Dart pub which serves very decent food. It's only a short walk from the B&B.
