Overall Ratings & Reviews Burton Farmhouse

Faultless stay! Lovely calm location, very quiet and relaxing place to stay. Home away from home! I cannot stress how wonderfully clean it was, with excellent facilities. Very comfy bed, great shower! I enjoyed being welcomed back by a very sweet little black cat every evening! Lovely walks to the beach right on the doorstep. We will definitely be staying here again, would 100% recommend.

Very easy self service checkin for a lovely room that had everything we could need for our stay. The venue is set in on a lovely farm with a great BBQ area and a short walk (30mins) down to a lovely local beach

Didn't see he host at all during my stay. Although there were no issues, I knew if I needed them they were a phone call away. The room was well equipped with a bath and shower, kettle, hair dryer, towels etc. Very comfortable and quiet. I dropped something out of my pocket and as I was looking for it, seen that under the furniture was covered in dust accompanied by a spider on my towels. I was a little freaked at this, but it's the country. It's to be expected.

I didn’t like that there was no greeting and did not see anyone while I stayed there to report no lighting in bathroom and no hot water in sink.

The person that met me seemed very disinterested. The room they gave me didn't match the pictures on Hotels.com. It was tiny, I wouldn't have booked it if the pictures had shown the correct room. The shower didn't work. The person seemed unconcerned, just said a guest had broken it and there was a bathroom down the hall. The bathroom down the hall looked like someone's personal bathroom, with toothbrushes, lots of personal toiletries etc. The person didn't offer an alternative room, even though there were unbooked rooms. Wanted to charge me more if I moved to their other single room. The whole feel of the person who met me was of someone that really didn't want any guests. No information given about front door access times, checking out, other general info, just here's your room. I can sleep anywhere, I ofen camp in a tent so I'm not a fussy person. This is the first time I've ever left a poor review, I'm not a serial complainer. Just not "as described" wrong room, no shower, no interest shown by proprietor.

I booked this accommodation as it is advertised as having a restaurant and a bar so we could have an evening meal for my birthday, only to be told that they do not do meals and haven’t done for 7 years. This therefore is false advertising and I have made a complaint to Expedia as I paid for 2 nights @£95 per night. I will be seeking compensation for your misleading advertisement

On the hotels.com website it is advertised as a b&b so were extremely surprised it was bed only. As it was room only this should have been made clear at the time of the booking.They did not appear to realise we were arriving so no key was left,had to find someone. We were shown to our room upstairs down a badly lit corridor. We seemed a bit of an inconvenience . If they were expecting us they should have turned on the fridge. There was a carton of milk still in the fridge that had gone off . We were told where we could get breakfast in the morning and no mention where the restaurant/bar was though I expect it was shut.We left the next morning as it was such a disappointment . We would not recommend this as a place to stay. Instead of staying 3 nights we left the next day. They probably did not know we had left.

Did not see any staff all weekend, key left in front porch with a note on arrival. Place felt ambandoned and un safe, had it not been height of summer season would have looked for alternative on night of arrival. Advertised details incorrect no restaurant or food available after 5 hour drive had to go out to find food. Plates and cultery left in room with very noisy fridge next to bed, expected to wash up in basin in bathroom. Farm in the middle of nowhere so no where to get food. Down stairs cluttered with parcels at door all weekend. Lounge area dark un welcoming and full of clutter and smelt of damp. Dreadful, will think twice about booking private b&b again. One room 2 nights £260 feel totally ripped off.

We can say that the bathroom was really clean, other than that we cannot be positive about anything else. The whole feeling of the property left a lot to be desired e.g.light bulbs not working, bathroom door handle loose, communal areas were uncared for and shambolic. Not a happy experience.

Owner charming and helpful

Burton Farmhouse provides very reasonably priced, comfortable accommodation a 10 minute drive from Salcombe. It's bed only not breakfast but there is a kettle, fridge, crockery, etc. in the room. Checking in and out was easy.

An unusual level of independence given to the traveller - very limited contact with hosts but you knew they were there if needed and they certainly responded to our needs promptly ! This arrangement suited our needs , but might not suit those that enjoy more contact with the hosts .

We didn’t find where our room was easily and I know it said no front of house but when I tried to ring none answered and the message box was full. I feel also that there is no reason not to include breakfast as everywhere is open now and this is not reflected clearly in the booking. The pot of porridge and biscuits being a poor substitute and you had to help yourself in a laundry cupboard for the second night! Not good service Nice location but really need to make themselves available to guests if repeat business is wanted and to provide breakfast

We had a wonderful weekend at Burton Farmhouse. Our room was clean and cozy, Ann was so friendly and helpful. The whole weekend was just perfect.

The property was well located with ample parking. There was no front of house service, bar or restaurant and because of Covid no breakfast ( other than teas and coffees and biscuits in the room) . The bathroom needed upgrading and there were clothes moths in the room.

It would help if the Wi-fi was improved as we had absolutely no phone signal and none of us were able to connect to the free Wi-Fi. The owners were very kind in allowing us to use their landline to book a taxi. Aside from the Wi-Fi issue, we enjoyed our stay and the room was comfortable.

AmazIng location, literally 10 mins from Salcombe. Beautiful guesthouse.

Large room and comfortable to sit as well as sleep.

The place is tucked away nice and quiet. Walk to Hope Cove lovely staff very polite and helpful can’t do enough to make you welcome.

Great location and a really nice farmhouse. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was really good.
