Friendly and a bonus to stay at a B&B run by a genuine local. Alan used to be a dairy farmer (Ayrshire cattle) as well as rearing Close Wool Cross sheep). I think that's why he appreciates that travellers want a good 'proper' English breakfast. The fried potato cubes are very moreish). The room temperature was just right. No bath in my room but the shower pressure was fab and full temperature control. The WiFi in inclusive. Password provided so you don't need to ask. Parking right outside. Way cheaper than PI and also better value than TL by the time you put any extra on / pay for separate parking.. but most importantly good old fashioned customer service. I arrived late but was greeted by Alan which was really appreciated. All for £50.

Company info

From a Devon farming background, I have many years experience breeding cattle & horses. Although, now no longer farming, I still retain an interest in agricultural matters & livestock. Living on the edge of Exmoor does give the added bonus to observe the wildlife, so I usually have my binoculars with me.

Property info

The house is situated on a rural crossroads and has it's own car park opposite. Each of the three letting rooms include a spacious en-suite. The rooms are light and airy, and have views over the surrounding countryside. An upstairs sunroom provides a scenic place to relax. Full English breakfast is available from 6.00am, although this needs to be ordered the night before.

Neighborhood info

Chancery House is at Molland Cross, situated on the Simonsbath road, about 6 miles from South Molton. We are 2 miles from North Molton, and 2 miles from Brayford. We are accessible across the moor for Lynmouth & Lynton with its cliff railway and lovely little cinema, and of course "Valley of Rocks". Alternatively, the southern moor could take you to visit Withypool, Tarr Steps or Dulverton. A few miles towards Ilfracombe would take you to Exmoor zoo, or further on to Coombe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur park. Locally, South Molton has a twice weekly pannier market, cattle market, museum, and the Quince Honey Farm. There is quite a choice of local pubs for lunch or evening meals etc..
