The owners were extremely friendly, very attentive and kept an informal guest house. The room was very well equipped with an excellent super king size bed. The facilities were very good within the room and the views excellent. The owners were very informative and helpful with regards to places to eat out and places to visit and all of this was also available in an handy guide in the room. Overall an excellent stay and very enjoyable experience Nothing

The owners were very friendly and made you very welcome. The only problem was that it was a bit of a way to go anywhere the nearest pub for very nice food was about 20minutes drive.

Warm greeting. Clean room. Added touch of bottled water, biscuits and chocs in room. Freshly cooked breakfast served in light airy conservatory with grape laden vine. One very minor niggle, poached egg came on pre-buttered toast - soggy mess. Personally I don't eat butter or marg.

Jo and David were very welcoming and friendly and made our short stay very comfortable. The Spinney is a fair distance away from most amenities - places to eat etc. an alcohol licence would be advantageous to the Spinney also

Jo and Dave are most welcoming and excellent hosts. Went out of their way to make sure we felt right at home. The room was comfortable and well furnished, breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. Location was perfect for us, with great countryside views but yet reasonably close to the coast and Barnstaple.
