    Ford House was in a very secluded and beautiful location. The house itself was very unique. It had a big thatched roof, plenty of original features and beautiful gardens surrounding it. Breakfast was also brilliant, so much choice!

    The location of Ford House in its own beautiful gardens is pretty well perfect for those who appreciate a vernacular property which retains so much of its own character and is furnished in keeping with its period providing a picturesque setting...

    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.
Pippa and Stephen have been in the hospitality industry for more than 35 years, both on the supplying and hosting side of the industry. We have a wealth of knowledge and will be putting all this into running the property and welcoming you our guests. Pippa is an avid gardener and loves nature, she also has the ability to cook up a storm. Stephen is an avid gardener, is certified as a Foundation Cycling Instructor - Road and if you would like to join him on an early morning ride, this can be arranged. We will be available to assist with local interest.
Ford house is surrounded by many local attractions, Jurassic coastline of Lyme Regis including the well known Mary Anning fossil museum, the charm of Beer, historical town of Sidmouth and many more. The kings arms inn situated a short 5min drive in the village of Stockland is renowned for its excellent locally sourced food and array of beers and ales, always greeted with a warm and friendly welcome Ben and his team will make you feel at home.
