Lovely breakfast and excellent service. The stairs were however a big "no no" due to steepness and narrowness of steps for my disabled wife.

I have stayed here many times. Southern Cross is an ancient Devon thatched cottage and grade 2 listed building. It is quaint and quirky. The service is brilliant, the breakfast is excellent and very dog friendly. I always enjoy my stay.

Excellent stay in a guest house with character.

Warm welcome, felt comfortable. Lovely quirky guest house with character added to the experience. Subtle servicing of the room. Breakfast was delicious with very accommodating service. Well positioned to visit the small villages of East Devon and only three miles from the coast. Will def consider staying again.

A beautiful, quiet, clean and comfortable hotel and bedroom. Loved the history of the building. Extremely weloming and friendly service. Our hosts went above and beyond. We will definitely be back and were so grateful for the wonderful care given to us. Parking on site was easy and the local pub a short walk away. Highly recommend, thoroughly enjoyed the cream tea and delicious breakfast.

The guest house was just what I wanted to visit in a very small village. The breakfast was excellent and service was great. I was able to walk and explored the village. It was an easy bus ride from Exeter.

Door on the bathroom door needs to be addressed as very stiff and kept getting caught on the door frame. Shower not very powerful and took a while to reach temperature. Apart from that stay was good, bed was comfortable, room was spacious.
