A Delightful Stay at The Old Bake House in Colyton! Our recent stay at Steve and Fiona's charming B&B, The Old Bake House in Colyton, was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. It truly felt like a home away from home, with every detail thoughtfully considered. The comfort of our room was exceptional, particularly the linen which was noticeably crisp and fresh – a true luxury! Each morning, we were treated to a delicious breakfast that was not only incredibly tasty but also beautifully presented, with fine attention to detail which added a lovely touch to the meal. A highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the 'lounge' in the b&b. It added such a unique and fun element to our stay, allowing us to relax and enjoy Steve's incredible record collection. It was a fantastic way to unwind after a day of exploring. Convenience was also a plus, with easy parking available. We thoroughly enjoyed a relaxed evening at the pub just across the road, which was the perfect spot to unwind after our daytime adventures. And for a truly local treat, the cream tea down the road from the B&B was an absolute delight! Steve and Fiona have created a truly special place at The Old Bake House, and we can't recommend it highly enough. We're already looking forward to our next visit!
