The old bakehouse is a beautiful house set in the heart of a quaint town with a village feel. Room was clean and spacious with a large bed. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful.

We liked everything. Fiona and Steve are delightful and friendly hosts. This old building is full of character and is beautifully decorated. Our en-suite room had a very comfortable bed and lovely views of the village. Their breakfasts were amazing which a five star hotel would have trouble matching. On-street parking was readily available in a nearby residential road during our stay. We were happy to leave our car there. If we are back again in this part of Devon/Dorset we wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else.

The Old Bakehouse was a lovely homely place to stay, and the village of Colyton is in a pretty and convenient location to visit several attractions in the area, go to the beach, cycle or hike. Fiona and Steve were excellent, very helpful, and hospitable hosts. Whilst eating our delicious breakfast each morning we were entertained with music from Steve's extensive vinyl collection, which was a really good start to each day. Our room was clean and tidy with a very comfortable bed, and all we needed for relaxing after a day's sightseeing. Parking wasn't a problem as they register your car to park for free in the local car park which is about 50yds away. There are several good places to eat in the village, not least the Kingfisher pub, and a couple of convenience stores. We honestly can't recommend you stay there enough.
