Amazing
Amazing stay. Originally booked for one night wanted to stay the second and they arranged a spare room so we could stay. Really friendly owners, nothing was any trouble for them. Made us feel very welcome, very clean and well decorated rooms. Would happily stay again without any thought. Loved our stay at Lion House

Exceeded expectations
Everything about the stay was absolutely spot on. Arrived very late in the night but Andrew was fantastic about it. The room was large with all amenities needed, clean and well ventilated. The shower room was powerful and the towels were way better than in many hotels I have stayed in. The breakfast was a combination of cereals, fresh fruit, fresh orange , pastries, bread, cold meats, preserves and a choice of hot breakfast from an extensive menu; Eggs Bennedict were great (You can tell andrew is a Cheft by trade) I will be back!

Andrew was an excellent host, assisting with luggage and washing. Nothing was too much trouble in a newly renovated building, with nearby parking off-street. Rooms are superb and food is excellent and well prepared. Gluten - free is catered for. It all made for an excellent stay. Thoroughly recommended.

Used as a stop off on my round Devon cycling tour. Messaged Andrew a few weeks before about bike storage and an instant reply. On arrival I found I had been upgraded from my twin to a double room - nice surprise. Offered tea on arrival and good pointers for food and drink for the evening. Immaculately decorated and clean premise - could not be faulted. Lovely furnishings and some nice decorative touches. Great night's sleep. The cooked to order breakfast was plentiful, with a huge array of options, and superb. I was packed off on my way with a couple of bottles of water straight from the fridge. I got an excellent rate but even the peak rate is great value and easily comparable to hotels costing twice that. Highly recommended.

Hospitality of the highest order
I found the premises exceptionally clean and tidy. Andrew, the host, welcomed me with a Cream Tea and was very courteous and explained everything very clearly. Had a comfortable night and enjoyed a superb, cooked to order breakfast in the morning. Can't recommend Lion house highly enough. 4 Star service, at a very reasonable price.

Definitely recommended
Would definitely recommend this B&B. Beautifully appointed bedroom ( the decor throughout is very good). Arrived quite late but was still greeted at the door with the offer of a cup of tea and home-made scones. More than enough breakfast which was well cooked. Sent off with a couple of bottles of water for the journey. Thanks to andrew for making us so comfortable.

B&B Stay in Combe Martin
We booked a one night stay really last minute as we weren't sure if we were staying over while visiting friends. The B&B has recently been totally renovated from a derelict building and looks great. All the rooms and bathrooms that we saw look really well presented. The owner, Andrew, was really welcoming and brought us a cream tea just after we arrived and gave us all the necessary information. The breakfast in the morning is included and cooked to order and tasted great. There is also a choice of cereal, pastries and juice. Free parking next to the building. We would definitely recommend staying here. If you are in the area looking for a B&B stay definitely give this a go.
