"We had the pleasure of staying at The Beeches from 16th to the 23rd of July 2018. I thought we had stayed at some excellent B&Bs before, but I am being sincere when I say that they were all second best compared with The Beeches.
On arrival, after our long journey, we were greeted warmly and welcomed inside by Ian and Christine, the owners, and rewarded with a cup of tea and a selection of homemade cakes (made by Christine, who is an excellent baker). The Lemon drizzle cake was delicious…and I don’t usually like Lemon drizzle cake!
We were helped with our luggage to our room, which was a double, converted to a tin just for us. The room was very clean and the ensuite bathroom, had a bath and a shower, was spotless and had all the usual complimentary shower gel, handwash, shampoo. Towels and flannels were also provided and were clean, soft and luxurious. These could be changed after use simply by asking the hosts.
In the room were tea, coffee, hot chocolate, Horlicks facilities and pots of UHT milk. A fridge downstairs contained fresh, semi-skimmed milk, if one preferred to use that instead. Also included were a couple of homemade biscuits which varied from day to day. We never had the same biscuits twice. There were also decaffeinated varieties along with fruit tea bags if you preferred. All these were replenished on a daily basis. There are three other guest rooms.
Breakfast was served in a comfortable, airy and spacious dining room which felt “just like home” and provided a feast of delights to awaken the taste buds from a selection of cereals, some homemade by Christine, fruit, fruit juices and of course the cooked breakfast, which was cooked to a very high standard (not greasy at all) by Ian and Christine. For the cooked breakfast you can have almost anything you like bacon, sausage, tomato, mushrooms, baked beans and egg, cooked to your taste – boiled, poached or fried. There were also extras such as fried bread if you so wished. On the table were a selection of jams and marmalade, again made by Christine and available to buy to take home with you after your stay (we bough two jars of marmalade as that was a firm favourite with us). There were also special breakfast options available, which one needs to pre-order the night before such as smoked salmon, scrambled egg, smoked haddock. Unfortunately, we did not avail ourselves to these delights as we enjoyed the usual cooked breakfast too much. If one had any room left after the cooked breakfast, toast was also available, with butter on the table. All this served with your choice of tea or filter coffee.
The location of The Beeches on the Old Teignmouth Road provided a peaceful and tranquil setting to relax with no traffic noise. There is plenty of on-site parking which are easy to use. Too many times we have encountered on-site parking where the spaces are very tight and difficult to get into and out of, but not at The Beeches.
There is also a lovely, spacious, well-kept garden and a terrace where one can enjoy breakfast al fresco (weather permitting) or simply sit and relax and soak up the views.
All in all I cannot recommend The Beeches highly enough and the standards there are more than excellent. We will definitely be returning to The Beeches in the future without any hesitation or reservation and my only disappointment is that wherever else we may stay, it would be possible to transport The Beeches there also. We had a lovely relaxing time. Thank you, Ian and Christine.
My comments above are of course my own, but should you also ever have the pleasure of staying at The Beeches, I’m absolutely sure you would agree with all of them.

"Ian and Christine are excellent hosts, they do their utmost to make your stay hassle free. It is one of the very few B&Bs in which we've stayed where the hosts appear to have thought of everything and the cleanliness is approve reproach. "

Tip:
"Christine is a great cook and the standard breakfast does not allow her skills to shine. So, order the eggs benedict, it is sublime. "

Would Recommend: Yes
