Several stressed out women landed on Edward and Barbara a few of which had never camped before. The site was lovely, tranquil and well maintained. Whilst we were there one of us had a puncture, Edward could not have done more to help finding a local garage. We camped by night and had a full English in the house each morning. This managed to stabilise the less rural types in our party. The welcome was warm supportive a good natured we had such a lovely sojourn. Thank you both

Stayed at South Allington House for 2 nights, the accommodation has been refurbished beautifully and the proeprty was very clean. This is a great place to stay for some long walks with an amazing little beach at Lannacombe. Well worth a trip into Kingsbridge to the Famers Market, where you can look round all the lovely shops in the town also. Thoroughly enjoyed this short break and would definitely recommend South Allington House.

I've been visiting South Allington House since the early 1990s and it is one of my favourite destinations - certainly my favourite B&B. There are also some self-catering facilities that look rather good.

The rooms are spotlessly clean, breakfast is lovely, Barbara & Edward and their staff are so nice. Sometimes if busy you may share a table at breakfast with other guests.

The house is amazingly tranquil with a pretty garden and nice grounds. Kingsbridge is the nearest town, Salcombe with its beaches isn’t far, and there are plenty of interesting places to visit in all weathers nearby. It’s great for walking and exploring south Devon.

Only four stars for the location? I tried hard to find fault. I don’t like or particularly trust five star reviews across the board. The lanes leading to South Allington are tiny – be prepared to squeeze through some gaps and do some reversing into passing bays; it’s also a few minutes’ drive to the nearest place to get evening food. Just a contrast to the built-up suburbia I’m used to. I wondered if the rooms were 4 or 5 stars but just thinking about them made me want to go back, so must be 5 stars.

Worth a visit just for the cream tea even if you’re not staying!

A wonderful place run by friendly people. The room we had was comfortable and clean. The gardens were superb and the location was excellent.

Breakfast was very good although it got a bit crowded at times and you had to share a table with other people - not always my thing in the morning. However this is a minor niggle, more than made up for by the beautiful surroundings.
