Overall Ratings & Reviews Southern Cross Guest House

Nice comfy B&B. Quiet surroundings and a lovely garden area. Great breakfast. Only complaint - WiFi would not work.

Delightful guest house with great service - breakfast is delicious.

Friendly host and a good English breakfast

Very good breakfast was lovely. Bed comfy only problem was shower not very good low pressure.

This is an 18th century property with a thatched roof that serves cream teas in the afternoon. It has lots of character and won't be for those looking for a modern place to stay. If you have mobilty issues, the steep stairs may also be a problem. However, it not all olde world, there is free internet, lots of easy parking and a breakfast menu that should have enough options to suit everyone.

Travelled here during a cycling trip and the owner was helpful in finding a secure place for my bicycle. Breakfast was fantastic and the building is historic and interesting.

Lovely homely traditional B&B in beautiful historic thatched cottage. Fantastic location for Sidmouth, Seaton and Lyme Regis. Lovely full english breakfast with perfectly cooked fried eggs, real butter for the toast, and amazing homemade marmalade. Friendly and helpful host.

Very good, very welcoming, property very clean. Very old property but lovely, alot of original features. Lovely big garden for afternoon tea but unfortunately didn't get to use it. Really enjoyed our stay. Also had our dog with us and was made very welcome.

Warm welcome, felt comfortable. Lovely quirky guest house with character added to the experience. Subtle servicing of the room. Breakfast was delicious with very accommodating service. Well positioned to visit the small villages of East Devon and only three miles from the coast. Will def consider staying again.

Very friendly owners and a nice cottage sized room. A very period property. We had a pleasant one night stay.

A beautiful, quiet, clean and comfortable hotel and bedroom. Loved the history of the building. Extremely weloming and friendly service. Our hosts went above and beyond. We will definitely be back and were so grateful for the wonderful care given to us. Parking on site was easy and the local pub a short walk away. Highly recommend, thoroughly enjoyed the cream tea and delicious breakfast.

The property was very quirky. The owners were very helpful and friendly

I have stayed here many times. Southern Cross is an ancient Devon thatched cottage and grade 2 listed building. It is quaint and quirky. The service is brilliant, the breakfast is excellent and very dog friendly. I always enjoy my stay.

This was an overnight stay. It was easy to find and there was a convenient car park. Our host answered the door immediately and showed us up the room. It is a very old building with beams and sloping floors and has lots of character. The room was comfortable and warm. We had our evening meal in a pub called The Canon Inn in the village which was excellent. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. Thanks for a lovely stay

Always have an amazing stay at Southern Cross Guest House. You’re always made to feel very welcome and the rooms are so comfortable and there’s everything you need. Breakfast is absolutely delicious too. Such is in a great location for Sidmouth and its idyllic boutique shops and the wonderful donkey sanctuary too.

The hosts were very friendly, helpful and offered a delicious breakfast in the mornings , I would definitely recommend if you need to stay in the area.

Lovely Thatched Cottage, close to Sidmouth. Got a warm reception on arrival and a hearty English Breakfast on our first morning Not modern but had everything we needed for our short stay

Very friendly host, cosy accommodation and ideal location, only drawback, wish the shower had more power.

My visit was brief but exactly what I required. Unfortunately I didn’t get to sample the cream tea on this visit but future visits I will call in and give my verdict. Thank you to the hosts for looking after me the breakfast was just what was needed . Thanks again

We received a lovely warm welcome to this incredibly charismatic guest house. Stayed in a twin room with my sister as we were passing through on our travels - the room was clean and warm, and the beds were comfy. Breakfast was good - cereals, full English and toast. Would definitely return, and would highly recommend.
