Riverdown B&B

Lovely accommodation set in a very scenic location. Site in charge was very helpful and accommodating clean premises and very well equipped property.

Tim the host was brilliant, the double room en suite was great, breakfast was good. We would stay there again. Only one minor criticism was that the property was hedged in, so no views.

Boutique style B&B in tranquil location overlooking the river Exe. A ten minute walk from the Puffing Billy pub from where you can walk along the River Exe Trail south to Exmouth and return via the train for a pleasant day out. The trail also goes north towards Topsham which takes around 20 minutes on foot where you can experience the sunset from the bars / restaurants on the riverside

We had a very large room with large en-suite shower room and patio doors to an outside seating area. Apart from that we virtually had the run of the entire ground floor including breakfast sitting room with another TV and a utility room equipped with tea and coffee making facilities etc. Wonderful fairly remote spot beside the River Exe and an excellent host.

Lovely relaxing stay , Tim was very accommodating. Plenty for breakfast Train ran along bottom of garden twice an hour but never really bothered us

Great communication prior to stay, warm welcome, exceptionally clean, comfy room Great bathroom Excellent host Stunning location for riding bikes and walking

Everything was as stated in the property description

Tim was an excellent host and having the run of downstairs kitchen and gardens made it feel like a home from home with better views

The room was really nice and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was nice nothing was too much trouble. Lovely location.

The property is tucked away from main roads and is tranquil and peaceful. It is next to the Exmouth - Exeter railway line - which causes no trouble - and the river. Yes, I would stay there again.

Very peaceful location, helpful and friendly host.

Once the lane was found eveything at the property was excellent. Tim was a perfect host!

Riverdown is a lovely place to stay for a quiet weekend break. Nothing is too much trouble for the owner to sort for you. Breakfast very good, pubs and restaurants in local area. Close to beaches and Exeter. Can be difficult to find but we'll worth the effort. If down that way again will definitely stay there.

Was working nights and was not disturbed

This B&B is a little off the main road and may be difficult to find without a sat-nav but prior to my arrival our host sent us an email containing his personal mobile number just in case we needed directions, which we didn't. Our room was a lovely clean large comfortable double room with a large modern en-suite shower room. The room also had patio doors which lead onto a small private patio for our use. The use of a private kitchen to make refreshments was available as well as the use of a small lounge which doubled as the breakfast room. Our host was very helpful and the cooked breakfast was more than ample. A lovely stay.

Tim was most welcoming, our en-suite room was comfortable and spacious with access to the garden. We had free use of the kitchen and lounge. Tim prepared a very tasty breakfast.

This hotel is nice and quiet and the room and toilet are both very clean! The double room is very spacious. It was a very enjoyable stay.

WE enjoyed a really excellent stay at Riverdown. The standard of the accommodation was very good. The owner was very helpful in providing advice as to where to visit in the locality as well as helping with restaurants in the area. All in all, an excellent stay. We would certainly book again when we are next in the area

Cant really comment on the above as upon arrival their was no one home. Cancelled booking went to another bed and breakfast.

We stayed 1 night on Wed 5 June 2013, and arrived just after 2pm (NOTE: some online booking websites are displaying the wrong Check-In time. Actually Check-In Time is 4.30pm). As per other reviews Jan & Tim are welcoming and the ensuite room was perfect. Breakfast was perfect for us, cooked breakfast with choice of cereals, drinks, choice of breads for toasting yourself to your own liking and choice of spreads & jams. Jan was very helpful on where we could walk to watch wading birds, and we ended up walking all the way to Exmouth following the River Exe and the railway line. We got on the Exmouth to Exton train @£2.60 and was bemused that we had to ask the conductor to stop at Exton (else it would drive pass). That evening we did hear the last train go pass the B&B (and the early morning trains), it's so brief that it didn't bother us much. Us living near LHR and in a street full of noisy neighbours slamming car / front doors, we had a more peaceful night's sleep than at home!! We enjoyed our stay so much we will definitely stay at Riverdown B&B again.
