We stayed at The Manaton last week. It's so spotless and cosy, you never want to leave. John and Glenda are absolutely lovely, they can't do enough for you. Glenda's breakfasts are to die for and as for John well he should have his own stand up show, he's hilarious. The B&B is in a prime location and minutes away... More

Tried to book this b&b for a weekend away for myself and a few friends. The owners were both very rude and refused to let me book purely because I was visiting Lyme Regis for a diving trip. Apparently they will also demand upfront payment and be reluctant to let you book if you are going to a wedding!! All... More

Sorry but we are mystified about this review, how can somebody give a review when they have never stayed with us? The comment about value for money and how friendly we are makes no sense as they have never been here. We have many wedding parties staying with us so that comment makes no sense either. It appears we have... More

The Manaton was great value accomodation, great location, very clean, wonderful hosts and a beautiful breakfast. Our stay at the Manaton was just fantastic but if there is one criticism the room was quite compact.

We stayed in the family room, which was cosy (in a good way). The children loved the bunk beds. We hadn't realised the bathroom was down the corridor, but that was fine. Not too far to walk into the town. All in all, pretty good. We even found an icthyiosaur vertabrae!

John's witty banter and Glenda's absolutely superb breakfasts make this a winning formula! Rooms aren't huge, nor the bathroom but both spotlessly clean and have quality touches like good matching hangers (and not the 'slot in the top' ones) and best loo paper ever!! ( Lovely view from window and so nice to be able to park as well. I... More

Our family stayed here recently for a number of nights and enjoyed our visit. It has the highest standard of cleanliness and service that we have come across. The owners do go that little bit extra to help you out. highest marks earned.
