We stayed for one night over a bank holiday weekend while walking the South West Coast Path. Wendy's emails were very friendly and helpful in arranging the booking. When we arrived Wendy was out the back (cleaning out the chickens) but she had left good instructions as to how to make ourselves heard (rattle the gate to get the dogs... More

Just returned and have stayed there a few times now. Stables and pet ducks out the back. I believe it was built in the 1700s. Walking distance from amenities and lovely people. Decorated in a sort of Victorian style, our room was clean and spacious - quite a surprise for such an old building! National chain hotels have their place,... More

We've been visiting this B & B since 2002. We found Wendy in the AA B & B guide rated 3 star (We have found 3 or 4 star suit us best). The official inspectors are objective and very accurate with their gradings. East Farm House is clean, comfortable and cosy. Breakfasts are wholesome (fresh farm eggs) and well cooked.... More

We had one night at Wendy's wonderfully welcoming farmhouse. I absolutely loved it and my husband was delighted with the books to read in the loo including an old PG Wodehouse. The farmhouse is a traditional old farmhouse with lots of nooks and crannies. My husband is 6'2" and expected to keep banging his head on beams - but was... More

stayed for 1 one night on jurassic coast walk, not sure if it was B&B or doll musuem!...clutter & dust everywhere. Ideal if you are looking for curiosity/querky factor, but if you want plain old clean facilities, this is not for you! Breakfast was ok , although the 'dining' room had the most awful smell of damp we have ever... More

I think some of the reviews on TA about East Farm House are unfair. East Farm House is not like a lot of other B and Bs - it's old-fashioned, and it is full of "quirky nicknacks " and "clutter". It is also dark, the rooms are small, and the house is old. But, hey - come on, this is... More

'We only take cash (no surprise), we are doing this on trust, break fast is 8.30 till 9.00 sharp'. No welcome on arrival when we eventually got let in, dark , gloomy, like being in an over cluttered car boot sale, great collection of spiders webs in every room, intense let down, most reluctant owner ever.

My friend and I stayed at East Farm House for a couple of nights and although overall we don't have any major cause for complaint, there are certainly some things that we found a little annoying, that with just a bit of on-going effort from Wendy, the landlady, could be a lot better. Wendy is a fairly chatty host and... More

Stayed at this bed and breakfast during a walking holiday on the South West Coast path. On booking the room it was requested by the owner, that payment be made in full by cheque. Reason being that many people had "let her down" in the past. It was a rainy day and we were very wet on arrival. There was... More

The East Farm Guest House, upon first inspection, appeared to be a lovely, quaint, family run B&B. However, our first impressions were soon quashed following our introduction to Mrs. Wendy Woods. After discussing our breakfast options and revealing that were we both vegetarians, she spent several minutes moaning about two vegetarians guests that had previously visited and the inconvenience they...
