Yes, the house was aesthetically pleasing in a nice setting (although we could hear traffic noise) with good breakfast and even upgraded to the suite but we still left saying that we'd never go back there again and that we'd paid through the nose to feel quite unwelcome. I missed the sentence on the Larkbeare website that said the house... more

My mother and I had the good fortune to stay at Larkbeare Grange for 2 nights and how we wished it could have been for longer. Charlie and Julia are charming and very welcoming. Their home is stunningly pretty and they work extremely hard to offer the very best food and service. Our room was delightful and the attention to... more

Our hosts Charlie & Julia could not have been more helpful or welcoming. I had heard about the 'aga baked scones' and sure enough they were offered when we arrived a bit weary from our travels. Delicious! Our room was not the best on offer (poor view) but the room and the bathroom were beautiful and very comfortable. I can... more

My Girlfriend and I arrived for a 2 day break on her birthday. Lakebeare is set in a remote part of the Devon countryside, perfect for a relaxing get-a-way, yet close enough to many places of interest. The owner met us on arrival and within a short time and suggested afternoon cream tea in order to settle us in, complete... more

Don't be distracted by a neighbour's continuing restoration project, Larkbeare is an immaculate farmhouse furnished in simple good taste.The welcome includes home made scones with cream and home prepared jams and this sets the scene for a farm house breakfast at a table shared with fellow guests. Bathrooms are luxurious and there is careful attention to detail such as effective... more

Charles and Julia make you feel very welcome from the minute you arrive - We stayed in a front room with lovely views over the garden and countryside. They welcomed you with homemade scones and homemade jam & cream. Willing to recommend many local eateries. We stayed 7 nights and my waistline just kept expanding!. Just had to take home... more

My parents and children and I arrived at Larkbeare Grange on the return from our holiday in Cornwall. After the beauty of St. Ives, etc., it would have been easy to be disappointed. On the contrary, this overnight stay turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. We drove down a country lane and up the daffodil... more

My wife and I stayed here based on reviews of the Internet. We are from Brisbane, Australia and had no idea of the area. The stay was relaxing and friendly. We had some concerns with our train travel to Paris, and Julia was only too willing to help us sort it out. The room was spacious and 5 star, as... more

I selected this B&B based on the reviews on the website and it didn't disappoint. The location although isolated, is beautiful. The welcome from Julia was wonderful, I had been driving all day and was shattered, a little TLC was required and that is just what I got. The room was spacious and the bathroom lovely, I had a comfortable... more
