    Sharon was really welcoming and friendly and made us feel at home. The cottage was beautiful and quirky with extensive grounds.Breakfasts were generous and it was a blessing that we were able to bring our dog along. It was peaceful but also easy...

Ford house offers B&B in a traditional listed 500 year old thatched cottage with original features. Beamed ceilings, gorgeous large fireplace, fine furnishings in keeping with the property. Set in rural idyllic Devonshire countryside surrounded by 5 acres of beautiful gardens. Narrow lanes leading to the property add to the charm of the location. Pets are welcome, please inform us prior to your arrival. There is plenty of parking. WIFI is available but not in all rooms as the walls are 3 foot thick, recently renovated inside and out in traditional style with new thatch.
