Lovely room, slept very well. Shower was great. Thoroughly enjoyed my short stay.

We stayed here for one night on our way to Penzance, what a lovely place very clean and a comfortable nights sleep, great breakfast as well, i would recommend this b&b to everybody.

Great room, very comfy.Great breakfast.Lovely couple.Very peaceful.Will definitely come again.Such a great place.Definitely recommended

Lovely place to stay. Very clean and comfortable and a great breakfast. A little of the Belfry history would be interesting.

An overnight stop. Good size bedroom, very comfortable bed. The breakfast was superb - plenty to enjoy with a good choice of cooked options. The chosen selection was freshly and beautifully cooked.

I really rate The Belfry, everything you need was provided to a very high standard, the bedroom was really clean and well equipped, there was thoughtful attention to every detail by the manager. A lovely friendly welcome, information,on where to eat and additional cold drinks and teas provided too. The breakfast was amazing and I had a lovely stay. Thank you!

Our stay was fantastic, great room and the breakfast was delicious and lavish

Very warm welcome on arrival. Room was clean and beautifully laid out. Fresh milk and fruit juices available from the fridge. Breakfast was first class. Freshly cooked to order with the benefit of fruit compot,cereals, yoghurts and fresh toast available with all the usual toppings. Situated in a small village. Unfortunately at the time of us staying, the local pub was closed, with no clear idea of when it wouldbe reopening. Ideally situated for a short drive to Lyme Regis, with the benefit of having great value for money room rates. Would definitely go back if in the area again. Thank you for a wonderful short break.

Amazing stop off on way to polperro , clean comfortable bed , stayed in the one with stained glass windows , host very accommodating, best breakfast we’ve had in a long while , peaceful area , 10/10

Great b and b, breakfast was delicious, ideal place if you’re looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing

The Belfry at Yarcombe is very clean and well laid out. As long as you are ok with a location that doesn't have shops and pubs in the village then it is a great place to stay and I would recommend it and would definitely stay there again. Very good breakfast with helpful staff.

The Hotel was very warm and had a fantastic greeting on my arrival. The Belfry Hotel was very clean and very homely. My Room was bright and clean with a beautiful bed and a really nice en-suite bathroom. The Breakfast was one of the best I have eaten in the UK. Overall my stay was excellent and look forward to staying there again in the future.

Lovely boutique hotel. Pleasant welcome, lovely room, excellent bathroom with complimentary toiletries. Breakfast very comprehensive, cooked & present first class.Would definitely recommend

Clean, comfortable, excellent room. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Arrived late but host was generous with recommendations for Dinner. We chose King's Arms Inn, and we're not disappointed at all. Wonderful food, great service, and very pleasant staff. At the BandB, the rooms were well appointed and comfortable. The breakfast was exactly as advertised. Enjoyed our stay greatly.

The Belfry is an excellent Bed and breakfast! The host is very accommodating, the room is spacious, clean and the shower is very strong and nice! The bed is very comfy and the cooked breakfast is superb! There is a ready supply of milk and fresh apple/orange juice in the fridge under the stairs! The location itself is very quiet so it's a perfect place to rest after a long day out! This is one of the best stays that we have ever had!!

I stayed twice in the same week, and experienced a cheery welcome, very comfortable beds, beautiful rooms, good showers, and wonderfully cooked breakfasts (using local suppliers' produce). Nice extras like a fridge with fruit juices available at any time, and a good selection of teas. I'll be back!

Comfortable room, excellent breakfast.

Everything was top class.Beautiful room with all amenities, evenBorder biscuits!Very good breakfast and looked after by the hosts. Would highly recommend. If staying in the area again would choose here.

Arrived slightly ahead of schedule but called to check room was ready which it was. Welcomed on arrival and shown around property which is wonderful. Lovely hosts, lovely room with nice en-suite and great bed.Breakfast was even better.All the details taken care of and would stay again without doubt.

Spotlessly clean.Bed comfortable.Good choice of breakfast dishes and superbly cooked and presented.Bathroom well equipped with everything you needed.

If their was one critisism the pillows could be firmer. Otherwise the hospitality was great would recommend and stay again.

Truly first class . Comfortable , favourably priced . Excellent,accomodatingcustomer service . Superb freshly cooked breakfast . Brilliant breakfast organisation .Lovely products and decent bed .Nothing not to like

Welcoming host, nice ensuite room with amazing countryside location so there were good views out of window. The breakfast was also very good. Definitely worth a stay if you find yourself in that neck of the woods.

We had a very nice stay here the day before our bike race. Room was nice and cosy and the host lovely! She recommended us a couple of pubs to eat locally as well which we really appreciated.

Thank you very much Sonia - and Good Luck with your race today!Sarah-Jane

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Belfry - our room and en-suite shower were extremely comfortable and welcoming. The breakfast was a real treat and we very much enjoyed the fruit pots!! A little more interaction with the hosts would have been nice.

Lovely B&B in a lovely location, excellent breakfast.

Got to say this is a very good B&B, friendly welcome, clean and tidy room, and very good breakfast, to set you up for the day, will definitely be back

I was 5 minutes away from my hotel in Somerset when I was hit by a 6-car lorry. The way the way Neil and Sarah looked after me both on the day itself, and the following 2 I was booked, was nothing short of special. They went far, far above-and-beyond the call of duty. Although I was alone and many miles from home, I was made to feel not so. They are truly amazing people, who have helped to somewhat restore my faith in humanity.Now to the hotel itself... It used to be a Victorian school, and still maintains most of the features. It is a quaint and cute boutique hotel, in a very picturesque village. If you like character and quirky this is definitely the place for you. Each room is individually decorated. It would be an ideal stop for anyone heading towards Cornwall. There is plenty of parking, and a town not too far away for restaurants/shops etc. You can even build-your-own breakfast to order, which is a nice touch.I highly, highly recommend this wonderful place!

Really enjoyed my brief stay.

we stayed for one night as a break in a journey from The Isles of Scilly to Yorkshire. Our rooms were well equipped and the beds were very comfy! Ear plugs were thoughtfully provided as the chiming church clock was in close proximity. Lovely bathrooms!Breakfast was comprehensive and enjoyable but the location of the dining room to kitchen meant that food was passed through a hatch for the residents to uplift... a bit quirky!

What a great find this charming hotel is.Nothing has been overlooked here. Warm cosy and welcoming.Lovely tray for drink making . All options coverred.Wonderful breakfast.The bed was simply a dream to sleep in and a powerful shower to wake you up when you get out of bed . I highly recommend this little treasure of an hotel tucked away in a typicallyEnglish village location

Every effort has been made to make this traditionalhistoric building a comfortable and relaxing place to stay. Lots of attention to small details that show that the owners care about their guests and the breakfast is an outstanding start to the day.

Best B&B I’ve ever stayed in.Bed was so comfortable … and a perfect location for walking the Blackdown Hills and beyond.A lovely welcome andfabulous breakfasts cooked by Neil.

Well what can one say!! The Belfry is a lovely place, great location, staff very friendly and welcoming. My room was very clean and tidy, the bed was very comfortable , ensuite nicely appointed , great shower with lots of hot water. Breakfast absolutely brilliant. Like to thank you all for a great two night stay.Hopefully I’ll be back .

I am away for business a lot and this place is a delight. Lovely room with everything you could ask for. Comfy bed, clean bathroom, plenty of tea and coffee facilities, fantastic views from the room I was in the Tennyson room with fantastic stained glass windows but most of all a welcoming host.I would recommend to all if you are near the area it is worth the extra drive.

Third time I have stayed. Consistently excellent.

I stayed here because I was attending a business event nearby and it was a very last minute decision - but sometimes those are the things that lead us to the best discoveries.The conversion has been done very sympathetically and there are so many lovely little touches throughout - ear plugs if you need them, quality shower gel, amazing pillows and so on.The breakfast was also a real delight (I'd love to know where they get their sausages) and all cooked freshly to order.I definitely want to stay again.

Another faultless stay - two nights this time.Neil and Sarah Jane have gone the extra mile to ensure a comfortable night with quality ancillaries in the room and breakfast is superb. My go to place when in the area.

Ours was an overnight stay, but the room and breakfast were excellent. Many thanks

Immaculate Clean room crisp and fresh smelling sheets on a very comfortable bed.Bathroom clean and soaps and shampoo provided, good quality. Brilliant shower.Excellent breakfast lots to choose from and generous portions. The Host was courteous and left us alone to enjoy are stay.Cannot fault this place.Highly recommend.

Thank you for the wonderful time.The building is beautiful. Outstanding breakfast.The owners were very king and wrote us a card wishing us a happy anniversary. I can’t fault anything!

Well kept clean roomEnjoyable breakfast

The second time I have stayed here and would highly recommend it. Friendly welcome, comfortable room and facilities, amazing shower and delicious breakfast. Would highly recommend.

Perfect place to stay for a night's getaway.All the comforts of home. Great breakfast. Just what we needed.

Excellent clean B+Band a exceptional amount of milk and sugar in the room for your stay. The star of my stay was the superbly cooked full English breakfast 5*

Nice room with tea and coffee facilities.Spacious walk in shower and bathroom.A good size breakfast with local produce in cooked English breakfastLots of choice of cereal tea and coffeeA nice homely B&B

What a lovely place, our room was great very cosey and lovely touches like the bathroom shampoos and great selection of teas coffee and cocoa, the hosts were really friendly and helped us pick a great pub for our evening meal. The breakfast was amazing and the whole place has a great feel about it, Thoroughly recommend this for a stay we loved it.

Travelled to Yarcombe to visit my Dad. His house was full so we booked to stay at the Belfry which didn't disappoint. The building is surrounded by beautiful countryside with breathtaking views. The welcome is warm, with the lovely smell of a warm log fire...The Belfry has been renovated with such empathy for the building, the huge stain glassed windows allowed the dawn light to colourfully dance into the room on awakening. The facilities provided were more than adequate, robes, beautiful fluffy white towels and soaps with wonderful aromas, it really was a treat.The beds were comfy, the ensuite was roomy, and the attention to detail to make it feel like a relaxing stay was spot on. So was the breakfast. If you have the chance to stay at Yarcombe's Beautiful Belfry, do!, I very much recommend it.

Just wonderful so private and relaxed. Warmest of welcomes.very genuine.Lots of thought goes into making your stay perfect.The best breakfast ever. It's our 4th year now and stay on route to Dorset each autumn .The most comfortable bed. What can i say!!! Other than We look forward to each year even more than the year before. I can't rate the belrey and the most wonderful hosts any higher . Thank you so much.

Return visitor after staying back in the summer in 2022. Beautiful accommodation. Spotlessly clean. High quality furnishings. Comfy bed and a great shower. Breakfast was excellent. The produce was clearly of a similar quality to the rest of the establishment. Will definitely stay again when visiting the area.

We couldn’t fault The Belfry, very comfortable, perfect host’s, good quality tasty breakfast . We will come back.

Had a pleasant stay, thank you. Great service.

We spent 2 nights at the Belfry. It is excellent. Outstanding breakfast cooked to order - great selection. Would highly recommend.

Welcoming , spotlessly clean , 'tastefully' decorated in sympathy with the Old School Building which it is .Very comfortable . Superb breakfasts and in a quiet village amid the rolling countryside of East Devon and Somerset. Within east reach of characterful pubs for excellentevening meals - and , if you want it , the sea as well .

A lovely place to stay, very comfortable, clean and thoughtful touches. Breakfast very good. Other people staying need to be aware of ground floor sleepers when using doors that might slam. otherwise it is peaceful and warm.

Lovely room, beautiful location, excellent breakfast. Neil was very welcoming and friendly. Great value for money. Thank you very much.

Quick check in, plenty of amenities and a great room. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to order. Comfortable bed and powerful shower. Quick checkout amd hreat value for money. I will definitely return.

Thank you Neil for the welcome, for shelving our frozen meals overnight and for the substantial breakfast. The bed was lovely and comfortable too.

Great stay thk you.

Myself and my boyfriend stayed here along with some friends as we were attending a wedding nearby. We were greeted with a warm welcome and shown to our rooms which were beautiful. The bed was exceptionally comfy with the softest throw ever! The tea / coffee amenities were stocked well and there was a fridge downstairs with milk and juice which was a lovely touch. The whole decor of the room and bathroom was lovely and there were toiletries provided inc shower caps and cotton pads. The price included breakfast which was amazing and you could definitely tell all the produce was locally sourced. Really easy to order as you just tick what you want and put it on the hatch. We all felt really comfortable there, we wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Cute little hotel, wonderful breakfast.

Would come back and definetley suggest this place to others.

Our first stay at this B&B and we were so very pleased with everything. The location, the room, the breakfast, provision of toiletries, tea making facilities, bath robes, hospitable hosts and little things like providing scissors to cut the milk sachets. Thoroughly recommend The Belfry as a place to stay

This is our second time here. excellent upmarket B&B, superbly run in very quiet surroundingsVery comfortable room, stylish bathroomwith great shower. amazing breakfast, with (my husband says a world-class sausage.

Large room with spacious on-suite, lovely location and friendly reception on arrival, would stay again !

Fantastic room, clean, everything that we needed was provided. Good bathroom facilities.lovely big comfortable bed. The breakfast was amazing with so much choice, which I am sure would meet most peoples needs and prepared to perfection. The owners were welcoming and helpful and on hand when needed. We really enjoyed our stay.

The Belfry is in an ideal spot when travelling to and from the South West. Easy to find with plenty of parking space. Bedroom compact but with all amenities. Comfortable lounge on ground floor for use of clientel plus a fridge with complimentary juices and fresh milk.

Clean, comfortable, well appointed room. Interesting building and large car park. Excellent breakfast. Efficient booking and good value for money.

Perfect location, 20 min drive to Taunton, stunning scenery. Exceptionally clean, very comfortable room and lovely sitting room for guests. Breakfast absolutely first class.Great place to stay, especially if you go to the cricket in Taunton!

A lovely place for a stop over. Warm welcome, cosy room, great breakfast

Our 2 night stay at The Belfry was a delight.Our host Neil went beyond the call of duty to ensure everything possible was included in the room (Coleridge) even down to robes, scissors to cut open milk sachets and earplugs in case the noise from the road disturbed our sleep, which it didn't! There was even a cooling tower fan and a small electric heater if needed in cooler months.The breakfast was organised by filling in a menu sheet each day and was nicely cooked and presented.The Belfry was spotlessly clean and everything about the place was well organised.Would definitely stay again or recommend to other people.

Lovely place to stay, warm welcoming, great facilities and an amazing breakfast! Such lovely quality too!

Very well organised, every item covered, excellent breakfast, quality fittings and toiletries.Excellent recommended nearby restaurants and pubs for evening meals.

Very comfortable, clean modern room with a great en-suite. Easy spacious parkingand the cooked breakfast is delicious.This was our 2nd visit and we will definitely be returning again soon.Ideal base for visiting this area and the lovely Jurassic coast.

We booked the Belfry as a short stay on our way home from Cornwall. From the moment we arrived & were greeted by one of the owners to the minute we said goodbye everything was perfect. The room was spacious, clean & well equipped with everything thought of. Breakfast was delicious. We would definitely stay again& thoroughly recommend The Belfry.

We stayed one night passing through. A warm welcome, comfortable, well-appointed room and a delicious breakfast. All in a lovely, peaceful rural setting

A great stay in a lovely room

We had a lovely stay at your B&B , thank you for staying up when we arrived over an hour late due to traffic and helping us get fed & watered at 11pm.It was a lovely room, a little bright in the early morning my eye mask helped! Plus, the breakfast was delicious.Thank you and would definitely recommend!

We stayed at The Belfry to break our trip on our way down to Cornwall.From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. Spotlessly clean, quality furniture, linens and toiletries, the award winning breakfast is just that too! With extra special little touches, the proprietor has literally thought of everything. Easy parking and a great list of local restaurants for dinner.The Belfry is a real find and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. Five star!

Lovely accommodation in a quiet village. Good parking. Nice welcome from owner. Comfortable bed and room. Great toiletries, everything catered for. Amazing breakfast, just perfect.

Very nice and relaxing stay at the Belfry.Historic Inn settled in a beautiful country setting.Breakfast was wonderful.Hosts were friendly and appeared to be hard working.Recommend booking a room in the rear of the building because of traffic noise.

Such a lovely place lovely touches such as good quality tea bags, welcome biscuits and fresh milk.Loved the loccitane toiletries and bathrobes too!Breakfast was amazing such a professional friendlyservice - thank you for a great stay!

Room was great, breakfast was great. Will stay again if in area

A lovely place, warm welcome, clean & comfortable bed and a fantastic breakfast.Was travelling from Yorkshire to Cornwall so a perfect place to break the journey up with a great value overnight stay, would definitely recommend and will use again next time I’m doing this journey.

Our stay was excellent, lovely host Sarah Jane . Clean and tidy plus a great breakfast.

This was a lovely place to stay on our way to Devon. The property is lovely and has so much charm and character. The room we stayed in was well furnished with a very nice en suite bath. The breakfast was truly fantastic. Everyone was so nice and friendly.

All I WOULD EXPECT AND MORE, I CANT THINK OF ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE MADE MY STAY MORE ENJOYABLE (Traffic noise might be a problem for a light sleeper)

Stayed on the eve of the coronation en route to Cornwall. Stepped outside at 10pm and the silence was wonderful. Owls hooting in the distance. Breakfast was great particularly the bacon and sausage. Before we left the church bells pealed in honour of the new King. Lovely place and nice little village.

Most enjoyable stay every thing was perfect

Tastefully decorated, clean and attention to detail superb. L'Occitane toiletries a nice touch. Excellent value for money and will definitely be back and recommend to friends and family.

We absolutely loved everything about our stay at The Belfry! A large and very comfortable bed with sumptuous linens and pillows in a beautiful room with a gorgeous stained glass window and views of the beautiful chapel across the way. Breakfast was delicious and everything was prepared and served with the utmost care and attention to detail. I would stay again in a heartbeat. The Blackdown Hills have the most beautiful drives, adding to our enjoyment of our stay.

Lovely old building. Very comfortable room with good en-suite. Everything spotlessly clean and in good working order. Excellent breakfast. Large private car park. Exceeded expectations and highly recommended.

Very few places make a real effort to make sure you have all you need, I must say that the Belfry would put other B and Bs to shame. They made sure all the details were taken care of and the breakfast was superb. Would stay again and recommend without hesitation.

One night stopover. Comfortable, clean and great breakfast. Recommended.

Friendly staff, Clean rooms, excellent breakfasts and should be Michelin Dtar rated in my opinion. Stay was worth every penny. Would recommended.

What a great location to tour Somerset from. An overnight stop on 14th April at very comfortable accommodation. Bathroom immaculate. Breakfast lovely (amp,e portion of smoked salmon). A meal at the Votkey Inn was one of the best we’ve had since before COVID. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed for one night.The staff were very friendly and the room and bed comfortable.Breakfast was really good - quality and quantity!It was a little hard to find, but worth it.

Beautiful Building, Friendly, Helpful Staff. Excellent Room with Comfy Bed and a Fantastic Breakfast

We found The Belfry to be very warm and comfortable and the breakfast was very good. We were there for four nights but seemed very little interaction with our hosts, mostly briefly through the hatch at breakfast A lovely part of the country

Lovely room with comfortable bed. Delicious breakfast.

The Belfry is set in an picturesque location and the rooms are unique, comfortable and clean. Neil was a lovely warm host and made sure I was comfortable with everything I needed upon arrival. The breakfast experience was the best I have ever had in a B&B and I travel a lot. Neil is a talented chef and did not skimp for anything in the dining experience. Thank you again!

Beautiful room, full of character. Friendly welcoming hosts who know just what their customers want: great food and a restful stay.

Our second stay - every bit as perfect as the first.Extra thanks for accommodating an early breakfast.Our favourite stopover en route to Cornwall - comfortable, good value, and no fuss. Top marks!

I was with my daughter visiting Exeter but opted to stay outside at The Belfry.We stayed in the Coleridge room, spacious room with a super king size bed, a feature of the room, beautiful stain glass window.The breakfast was amazing, choice was excellent.Efficient booking and checking in/ out. Clean, high quality linen, towels, toiletries,tea/coffee making facilities... everything extra touch thought of. Highly recommended.

Beautiful surroundings and lovely accommodation.Lots of extras that makes your stay homely and comfortable.Great breakfast and overall highly recommended.

A return trip to this pretty ,old school building, which was as enjoyable as ever.Warm welcome, and lovely breakfast.We would have been back more often to visit family in the area, but it has been, deservedly and unsurprisingly, booked up!Ps Try the fried bread, it’s wonderful!

Lovely, comfortable place to stay.Superb breakfast. Great host.Near to South Devon Coast and in a beautiful area.Just off A30 but I found peaceful and quiet.Great pubs nearby to eat in evenings.Would love to stay again some time.

This was a great overnight stop on our way to the West Country.We had a very nice room (loved the stained glass window) with an extremely comfortable bed and a superb breakfast to set us on our way in the morning. Thank you Sarah- Jane for your help. We certainly hope to come again.

Very comfortable room. Excellent breakfast and lovely location. Helpful list of places for evening meal. Would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely stay.Clean comfortable rooms.Well located.Great breakfast.Highly recommend.

Best stopover we’ve found - just off A303 on A30, halfway between London and Cornwall so perfectly located. Even better was the comfortable room with large, excellent bed - all waiting for us to drop into without any fuss. Next morning, the breakfast was top notch - and efficiently served up so we were back on the road feeling refreshed and ready. We’ll be back!

The Belfry was one of the best places we have stayed overnight in. The room (Coleridge) was spotless and comfortable with a unique stained glass window. The breakfast was superb and we were given an excellent recommendation for our evening meal in a local pub. We would not hesitate in staying at The Belfry again with its very helpful and friendly hosts.

A comfortable, relaxing spot for a stay, with easy access to main roads andrestaurants. Many helpful aspects to make one's visit easy and memorable, with pleasant, well appointed, shared sitting room.Friendly , welcoming hosts and good choice of plentiful, tastybreakfasts.Excellent all round.David and Hilary Mear

We had a lovely 2 night stay at the Belfry in a beautiful room . Breakfast was amazing tailored to our requirements and our host was very welcoming and friendly .would definitely return x

We only stayed one night at the Belfry but we were very happy with our room. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was great and the breakfast in the morning was delicious. Unfortunately the pub across the road is shut but we were able to drive to a pub about 3 miles away and had a very good meal. There was no noise from the road outside at night so we slept well. Overall a very complete stay.

Staying for a family wedding close by, everything was ready early for us to get ready and change - so no dash for the church required! Lovely delicious cooked breakfast

This is a lovely clean and reasonably priced place to stay. Breakfast is lovely. Would definitely recommend though next to quite a busy road, but double glazed window system cuts the noise out and ear plugs are provided if you do open the window.

Good nights sleep and breakfast was delicious.

Fantastic location for us. Warm welcome and departure. Delicious made to order breakfast. Room was gorgeous and perfect. We definitely recommend staying here.

Only stayed for 1 night but, would have stayed longer. A warm and friendly welcome and atmosphere. Well appointed quirky room (in a good way). Lovely breakfast with lots of choices.Would book to stay again.

It was most comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was excellent. Host couldn't have been more helpful. Really enjoyed my stay and would return with pleasure.

We liked the character room with view over hills, all details, such as, quality toletries were appreciated. Breakfast was very tasty and hosts friendly and helpful. Roger & Elisabet

We walked into our roim and said wow! Fantastic leaded church window and the biggest bed I have seen. Very clean and lots of coffees, teas, biscuits and even ear plugs! Loved the bathroom toiletries and lovely batgroom. Breakfast was lovely and staff so friendly.

We were looking for an overnight stay on our way home from holiday. We were so well looked after and the breakfast in the morning was outstanding. A lovely place to stay love to make a return visit. Well done to all who run The Belfry.

It seemed like everything you thought of was supplied, from big fluffy towels, dressing gowns, lovely shower gel, shampoo, soap! Perfect! Artisan coffees, biscuits, tea!

Fantastic everything you need in a hotel comfort, cleanliness, lots of little luxuries, top range toiletries, robes, great choice of tea and coffee, complimentary fruit juices, fantastic breakfast all fresh produce beautifully prepared and served. Should I find myself back in the area the Belfry will be my go to place.

We decided to stay overnight on route to Devon. Very comfortable room with en suite and one very old church like window. Breakfast was enjoyable and we will book again on our next trip to Devon.

We stayed for one night prior to picking up our sin from Exeter university. The room was clean and comfortable with a good selection of toiletries. Excellent breakfast with a lovely selection of items. Picturesque setting would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful accommodation in a quiet village with views straight out of a movie.Stayed in 'The Shelley' on the ground floor. Room was a good size. Bed was very comfy with high standard linen. Bathroom was again a good size and the shower powerful.Slept like a log both nights with the window open. Some people have complained about the noise of the church bells ringing but they didn't disturb me at all.Breakfast was cooked to order and again of high quality.I would highly recommend The Belfry and would 100% stay there again.

The belfry at yarcombe is a hidden gem, the room was excellent, the breakfast was to die for, and the extra’s such as cold juices any time of day, overall an excellent experience.

Would definitely recommend this BB spot on for everything

Room was lovely and comfortable with a wonderful view of surrounding countryside.Breakfast delicious with plenty of choice.We would certainly stay again when in the area - very well run establishment.

Stayed at The Belfry. What a fantastic hotel. Lovely room and best breakfast ever. I would definitely recommend.

Lovely clean and comfortable room as always

Very comfortable and spotlessly clean accommodation.Tasteful decoration in all rooms.Excellent breakfast cooked to order.Not a problem in our case but guest house very close to A30

Excellent

A warm welcome. A very comfortable night's stay. And a really excellent breakfast. The choice of quality tea and coffee in the room was great.Our room was right next to the road and there was a bit of noise from vehicles. It's not too busy but our room was next to it. However, there was little traffic at night so it did not affect our sleep.

Lovely stay at The Belfry, lovely hosts, lovely location, and lovely breakfast! As a single female I felt very comfortable. Thank you, highly recommended!

Thank you very much Sarah, that is lovely to hear, Sarah-Jane

I typically spend 200+ nights a year in paid accommodation, having spent my adult life in the travel business. Many small hotels, B&B's or Guest houses in the UK operate the 'highest price/lowest quality' business model so it came as a very pleasant surprise to find somewhere that does the exact opposite. Investing in small details makes a real difference, and many British (and European) B&B hosts would benefit from staying a night at The Belfry to see how the small hospitality market should be done properly. A really personalised welcome, inviting comfortable room, quality touches such as Occitane bathroom products, (as opposed to the ubiquitous tiny soap bar packets), quality teas and coffee in the room, fairtrade tea, and a quality bed with quality bedding. The imaginative (and substantial) breakfast was quite simply the best I have had in any UK guest house. Other touches included a guest fridge with small bottles of fresh milk to take to your room instead of those ghastly UHT jiggers piled in a plastic basket. Throw in free car parking, some lovely old pubs for dinner and great views of rolling hills from the bedroom and what's not to like?A delightful place.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review Jamie.Your comments are what we have been striving for over the last 15 years whilst working on the property and business and we are Over the Moon to hear a review such as this.Best wishes, Sarah-Jane

A lovely overnight stay in this quaint little b&b. The room was clean and spacious with a very comfy bed, a beautiful stained glass window and a view of the church from the second window. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was lovely 😊

Response

Thank you very much Lee

We found the hotel room clean and very comfortable. The owners were very helpful and gave us details of where to eat in the local area as well as some tips on where we could walk from the village. Our breakfast was excellent especially the full English . The scenery around the hotel is stunning and well worth a walk on one of the way marked paths.

Thank you Jan

Thank you for your lovely review William

The Belfry is a really beautiful building in a lovely small village. The room was clean, comfortable and with a modern bathroom. The breakfast they serve is both plentiful and high quality.

Thank you very much Robert

Really enjoyed my stay, very comfortable well stocked room, everything I needed, plus extra milk and juices in a separate community fridge. Easy to find off the A303, plenty of restaurants in the area just not all open on a Monday. The owner was very very helpful and the most delightful freshly cooked breakfast. Will stay again when in the area.

Thank you very much Judith

The Belfry is a lovely little B&B in a quiet village full of history. The rooms are clean and well appointed, bathrooms feel fresh and stocked with premium products. The "hotel information" sheet in the room gives useful information including local places to eat. The owners are helpful and friendly, and the breakfast they provide is second to none, with a great choice sourced locally and cooked to order. A great place to stay a little way off the beaten track.

Wonderful to hear Will, thank you, Sarah-Jane

We spent 9 nights at the Belfry and thoroughly recommend it. Super room magnificent breakfasts and marvellous hosts! We shall definitely be visiting again!

Response

Thank you very much for your wonderful review Andy & Ros, look forward to seeing you again! Sarah-Jane

A convenient stopping point on the way to Mousehole -easy to find and easy parking.Rooms were clean and had everything we needed.Breakfast was excellent. Although it is by the A30 the rooms are well soundproofed -we had a good nights sleep.Not mentioned in the description is the care they take to safeguard from Covid - really excellent. There is a pub across the road if you don't want to drive for an evening meal.

Room 10/10 Breakfast 10/10Experiance Excellent would stay again

Extremely enjoyable stay. Nice big clean room (Coleridge Room). Great views from the bedroom. Seriously comfy bed, a decent en suite shower and a delicious breakfast. All at incredible value. Would definitely come back.Rosie & Simon

This is our third stay at this go to place. Clean friendly a lovely breakfast with wonderful hosts.We will definitely be back again

Gorgeous bed, helpful staff, really nice breakfast. Just what we needed.

We enjoyed our stay very much gusts were very polite and helpful, rooms were spotless everything you needed for a comfortable stay was there.

I enjoy the Belfry for the welcome and the breakfast.Both are great. The breakfast itself is plentiful and served hot and cooked well. The owners are welcoming and helpful.

Excellent stay …very nice room and a lovely breakfast

Lovely place delicious breakfast

The Belfry cooked breakfasts were excellent, and the selection of cereals etc was really good - especially the 'fruit pots'- had not heard of those before - fruit, yogurt, muesli in a Kilner jar and worth a try.The bed was comfortable, and the whole place very quiet, with the decor a bit dim.The only down side was the TV, not smart, so no Netfix, BBC i player , or My5 etc. so only the bacis 4 channels, a real disappointment.

Excellent quality provided in the breakfast food, room provisions and furnishings. Unfortunately the proximity of the A30 right outside meant there was traffic noise and there is also a church clock opposite which chimes throughout the night which can result in disturbed sleep.

This is the second time I stayed at the Belfry, the rooms are clean with very comfortable beds, nice bathrooms with lovely quality toiletries and attention to detail. It's run by a couple who really take pride in welcoming guests and want them to have a good stay and come back. Brilliant cooked breakfasts - just a shame that the (community run?) pub opposite seems to have such short opening hours. A really good place to stay to explore the Blackdown Hills ANOB.

Booking process was easy and efficient, and arrival process friendly and helpful. Room and bathroom very clean; smelled a bit of the bathroom cleaner, but mostly dispelled with an open window and extractor fan. Walls are not very soundproof so could hear talking and TV from the next room and movements upstairs - but all was quiet after 1030. Bed was very comfortable. Couldn’t sleep with the window open because the church bell rings every 15 minutes - but earplugs are provided. Also if you are woken by light you may find the headlights of the very occasional passing cars disturbs you. Excellent breakfast. Nice fish and chips and a beer in the pub over the road for dinner.

The hotel was absolutely lovely...our room was very clean and comfortable.The hosts were very friendly and helpful..recommending a superb restaurant locally.We have no hesitation in recommending the Belfry.

Ideal travel break between Cornwall & London, everything you could wish for and a little bit more. Great shower, good sleep, lovely breakfast choice.

Always a warm welcome. Clean and comfortable rooms and the breakfast freshly cooked to order (great selection)

Comfortable Room, Great Breakfast

It was a very nice B&B

My stay at The Belfry in Yarcombe could not have been any better..from the warm welcome that I received on arrival to the most delicious breakfast when I left, and everything in between, the superbly comfortable bed, the fabulous shower and luxury toiletries supplied, and something else that was such a thoughtful touch was the refrigerated fresh milk and juices so conveniently at hand! Thank you so much for the perfect overnight stop.

Great exactly as described, plus went the extra mile which is greatly appreciated

Second time visiting for us and def a 3rd next year. Wonderful warm welcome.fabulous room. Histoic building is a rare gem. Lovely comfy bed and room and the best breakfast you can imagine. Warm friendly feel thoughout and hosts are so thoughtful.Spotlessly clean and cosy throughout. Massive thank you for making our stay so very relaxed

A lovely location for a visit to the Blackdown Hills. Our bed and pillows were very comfy (Wordsworth room) and a nice shower room. The highlight was a very good quality breakfast, made to order.

Perfect overnight stop on drive to CornwallLovely room with wonderful view of surrounding countryside and very comfy bed.Breakfast was excellent with so much choice and very good fresh homemade bread.Nothing was too much trouble.Thanks for a great stay.

Stayed at the Belfry for an overnight stop on our way back from Cornwall - great choice. The room was very well appointed with a sofa, bath robes, flannels etc. The highlight though was the cooked breakfast - I've never been offered a choice before of how I like my fried bread cooked! And it was all perfect.

Stayed one night on our way to Cornwall. Really nice room with everything provided, more than a match for any 4* hotel. Breakfast was cooked to order and was excellent.There was a fridge where you could help yourself to fresh milk and juices.Wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Stayed here for one night on the way to Falmouth. It was very clean and comfortable with a lovely rain shower. There is a separate lounge that you could also use to relax or watch television. It is in a peaceful location with parking on site. Breakfast was really good and well cooked. This was a very good value for money stay. We would definitely recommend and would stay again next time we are in the area.

We only spent 2 nights at The Belfry in the Tennyson room It was a large well appointed room with a beautiful old stained glass window. The hotel was spotless and we were made very welcome Our breakfast was excellent Parking was onsite

What a delight to find such a quaint high quality hotel.Breakfast was great, most impressed with your professional kitchen facility!

Baie lekker!! What a wonderful breakfast and accommodation to match.Everything is perfect.Very close Lyme Regis.

We enjoyed our stay very much and would return to stay again. Owners very welcoming.

The Belfry is an attractive building in a pretty, small, quiet village.Booking and communication ahead of time were good.On arrival the welcome was warm and friendly and were were quickly shown the communal areas and location for breakfast etc.The room was clean and well appointed.The bathroom was especially clean and modern with quality toiletries and towels etc.There is some transfer of noise from other rooms but this is very low and not intrusive.Breakfast is individually prepared and to a very good standard with good quality ingredients.Great choice of cereals etc and a very good yoghurt/fruit pot freshly prepared.Overall a very good experience.

Been before will come again, breakfast top rate,lovely rooms and hostsWhat more can we say, Mu and John

We have enjoyed our stay in this old house with all the comfort of the modern times. Had a good night sleep and an amazing breakfast prepared to our orders at an astonishing speed!

Everything we could have wanted and more!

The owners were really welcoming and friendly.The room was clean and comfortable with L`Occitaine toiletries.There was a good choice for breakfast and food was delicious.There was a fridge, which we had access at all times withchilled juicesand additional milkwill definitely be going back for another visit.

Stayed for one night on our way back from Cornwall …great setting with a wonderful view….room, very clean and tidy and a great size also with a very comfortable bed!Breakfast..well what can I say other then outstanding!For the price I paid, fantastic value.Also just to mention this B&B is very COVID-19 conscious.

The Belfry is a great hotel to explore Devon and other counties.The Bedroom was spacious and well furnished with views of local church,thatched pub and the surrounding countryside.The owners were very friendly and everything was in place in the room and general hotel for a very enjoyable stay.

Everything it was great!

Response

Thank you so much Stan, lovely to hear!!

This just what we needed,Great host,great room and great area.Shame we missed the pub opening.Next time.Fred and Pauline.

Nice location, pleasant welcome, good room and tasty breakfast.

The belfry is welcoming and fabulously comfortable with every thing you would need for a pleasant weekend stay or longer used as a base for exploring the wonderful surrounding countryside. The bed was comfortable and we had no noise pollution at all, even though they thoughtfully supply earplugs if you have a sad hatred to church bells which really are more of a treat than intrusion. Breakfast was wonderful and cooked to order. Could not fault this gem of a boutique b & b. Thank you for a great stay.

We were on our way to St Ives, and these days like to stop on the way. We found The Belfry very friendly and charming. We took their recommendation of the Candle Light Inn for dinner, and were very impressed; altogether a lovely way to start our holiday. Breakfast was lovely as well.If we had a suggestion, it would be that the bedroom was very dark at night, and it would have been helpful to have a small nightlight of some sort in the bathroom so that we could find our way should we need to move around in the dark.

Lovely room and welcome shower.We enjoyed our delicious breakfast and the host was very welcoming.

Stayed one night en route to Cornwall. Very clean and comfortable. Delicious breakfast. Even posted iPhone charger which was left behind.

Fantastic little gem of a place to stay. Lovely views, calming atmosphere and a large lounge to chill in for the evening.Breakfast was fabulous and all allergies / likes were accommodated for.Plenty of parking and everything was spotlessWould highly recommend

Highly recommend the Belfry. The staff cannot do enough for you, cater for all dietary requirements. The Belfry is so pretty and quirky with a lovely large lounge for you to chill out in. Will definitely return.

Pretty location, spotlessly clean, comfy bed, good tea and coffee facilities and lovely breakfast!

We stayed one night en route to Cornwall. The room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom was a good standard. Very enjoyable breakfast.

Accommodation was very good and the breakfast was 1st class and plentiful.Highly recommended.

Everything was done to a high standard. Bedding, towels toiletries etc all quality products, room clean and comfortable. Everything we needed. Breakfast was excellent and covid measures carefully considered.

What a delightful friendly place to stay. So many thoughtful touches and a delicious breakfast. Everything was spotlessly clean, crisp white sheets and fluffy towels. The toiletries smelt wonderful. Will definitely return.

The hosts are welcoming and the rooms are great. Breakfast is super!

Our stay at The Belfry was one night en route to/from Devon and Cornwall.It's an ideal location on the A30 for exploring locally or as a stopover point.The room was clean and comfortable with tea/coffee making facilities.An excellent choice for breakfast.Plenty of parking spaces. Would stay there again.

A lovely place to stay prior to attending a wedding locally. Great size room and bathroom. The breakfasts were very tasty and beautifully presented. Lots of different teas and coffees in room and fresh milk. Yarcombe itself, as expected,is very quiet although looks like a pub is being reopened soon.Great place to stay to explore Devon.

Stopped overnight in this superbly converted school house located in a picturesque hillside village. The room was excellent - very comfortable and well appointed. Friendly staff although didn't see much of them due to Covid measures, which were reasonable. Breakfast was delicious and top quality.The only downside was that there is nowhere local to eat. There is a hotel/pub across the road but that apparently does not open until Sept 2021. It's a minimum 1 mile journey to the nearest pub/eatery. However, the hotel does helpfully provide a list of around 15 local (i.e. within 10 miles) places with recommendations.Unfortunately, I was there at the height of the holiday season and with most places requiring reservations I was unable to get in anywhere so had to make do with a takeaway meal from Tesco in Chard! My advice is therefore to think ahead and make a reservation a few days before you arrive.None of this detracts from the quality of the hotel accommodation or the service they provide. Highly recommend a stay here and once the place across the road opens evening meals shouldn't be a problem.

We enjoyed our stay and the rooms are beautiful and well equipped for comfort. Breakfast was particularly good.

We stayed in the Coleridge room which was very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent.

A very comfortable stay. Everything provided for our comfort. A lovely breakfast and friendly proprietors.

Great B & B with really good breakfast

One of the best places we have stayed in. Totally clean, very good breakfast, shower brilliant, beautiful situation.

Absolutely beautiful

My cousin and her husband were down visiting from Yorkshire, we wanted to visit Lyme Regis and Honiton but didn’t want to stay in the busy towns, this b & b was spot on for our needs.The rooms were lovely and comfortable even on the hottest day of the year, breakfast was lovely too.Friendly owner, nice to have a chat. We’ll definitely be back when friends visit us as it’s nice to pop over from Hampshire.

Just stopped for 1 night on the way to Cornwall great host and very pleasant stopover breakfast delicious

Beautiful, high quality room, which I felt represented good value for money. It was very much a flying visit this time, but I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

We had the most enjoy able stay,beautifully decorated and furnished with lots of really extra homely touches,The bedroom had everything you may need and more , The bathroom had some really lovely toiletries and was well decorated.I dont think we have ever been to anywhere that has given you such a choice of teas,coffees,both filter and instant alongside hot chocolate and biscuits and all great quality.We will be using The Belfry as our go to when we visit family fromnow on,The breakfast was beuatifully cooked and had lots to offer aswell as choices for alergies , vegatarians and intolerenceson request,In all good quality, good price and we will be back .Thank you

All four of us, two couples, thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful location. The Belfry has lovely rooms, fabulous views and an excellent host who prepares delicious breakfasts. We also really appreciated the small touches such as high quality products in the bathroom.

We love our visits to The Belfry. The rooms are well appointed with comfortable beds and the breakfasts are superb.What really makes The Belfry stand out for us, though, are Neil and Sarah-Jane. Two of the friendliest and accommodating people you are likely to meet.So, hopefully, they will have to put up with our visits for some time to come.

We were delighted to discover this hidden gem on our way back home from Cornwall. The room was very attractive, a very comfortable king-size bed, a modern well equipped bathroom, with stained glass window and overlooking the village church. The decor throughout was modern and tasteful. The breakfast was delicious, freshly cooked to order. The very hospitable owners have transformed the place in their time here as explained to us after breakfast,before suggesting a lovely walk around the nearby countryside. The Belfry was spotlessly clean and very Covid safe. A recommended stay for overnight or longer. The owners also recommended a delightful pub restaurant nearby, The Candlelight Inn.

Beautiful character room with stunning views. Spotlessly clean and very comfy. Loved the freshly cooked breakfast. Great location with easy access to the whole area. Only issue we had were the church bells opposite that chimed every 15mins. It’s fine if you are ok with that but we needed to keep the windows closed at night.

I cannot fault the Belfry in Yarcombe in any way.The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The room also had quality drinks making facilities and toiletries.The breakfast was of great quality using quality with a good selection.We were looking for a place to get away for a peaceful break…Yarcombe is perfect.The pubs and shops are quite a distance away, but the polite and welcoming owner of the Beltfry has informed us that the pub Just over the road will be opening in a matter of months, which (for us) would top the whole Belfry experience off.

My girlfriends and I stayed for one night and thought it was absolutely beautiful.The rooms were spotless and so comfy.The welcome from Sarah-Jane was very warm and informative and the breakfast was amazing.Would definitely recommend the BelfryXx

Very professional. spotless. perfect base

The room was lovely with all the characteristics of the old building retained, but all the modern comforts especially the shower and bathroom. The breakfasts were excellent especially the fruit pots which I’ve never had anywhere else.The owner Neil was very helpful when we needed my husbands mobility scooter’s battery charged.I would not hesitate to recommend The Belfry to anyone I know

We had a very pleasant stay at the Belfry of Yarcombe which is located on the A30 and within less than 45mins drive to most places in East and South Devon. Neil our host was fantastic and lots of choices of cereals and cooked breakfast was lovely.

when we arrived Niel was there with a warm welcome. felt at home straight away. room was very nice lovely comfortable bed nice en-suite.lovely breakfast lots to choose from tea coffee cereal yogurts toast and a lovely fried breakfast. we will definitely be returning

Very nice rooms , very good breakfast.Would stop with you again . Keep up the good work . And thank you

Lovely little hotel very comfortable can’t fault it

We really enjoyed our stay at the Belfry.. the bed was super comfy, the room was exceptionally clean and the breakfast was REALLY yummy and all made fresh.We were also travelling with bikes, and they had a safe place for us to leave them and were very accommodating with our requests.Would certainly stay again and recommend to anyone.

Stayed 1 night to split our journey from Cornwall. Warm welcome, very covid safe & the building is lovely. The walls are not very sound proof as heard the man snore all night next door but with the windows closed we never heard the church bells every hour which is opposite. Breakfast is included and it was fabulous, coffee/tea, cereals, yogurts, juice, toast and a choice from a full english breakfast selection. King room is the size of the room not the bed. Huge shower which was very powerful and hair dryer in the room. Great stay and highly recommend.

I only needed 1 night accommodation and they were so helpful. The room was lovely. The breakfast was superb. I will be back with my wife and stay longer next time.

The Belfry was a lovely place to stay, breakfasts excellent and room clean but it was right next door to the A30.This would not be a problem in winter or cooler months but as it was hot when we stayed we left the windows open at night and our sleep was disturbed by traffic and the church bells chiming. The owners do provide ear plugs but I would have preferred a lighter summer duvet and a fan in the room.

Nice place ,good breakfast.

Very pleased with our stay at the Belfry. Excellent room and a breakfast to die for. Will be coming back.

Lovely setting, excellent rooms and facilities.Superb breakfast and very welcoming staff/owners.Will visit again

The Belfry has a very calming setting. Overlooking the church and countryside. Perfect location for visiting the surrounding area. We were made to feel very welcome. Great accommodation, lovely breakfast and an outdoor area to sit and enjoy a drink and relax in the sunshine. Would definitely visit again. ????

Its a return visit. Very welcoming host. The room was clean, tidy and with a very comfortable bed, with good quality bed linen. Large ensuite with rain shower style shower,complimentary toiletries of high standard. Delicious cooked breakfast with a variety of choices. Private off-street parking. I would highly recommend this B&B

Attention to detail was the highlight of our stay at the Belfrey. We had a newly renovated room which was spotlessly clean, and breakfast was the best we had on our week long holiday. Loccitane products in the bathroom and high quality bedding made this a luxury stay.

The Belfrey provided a five star service from the initial booking. They were also very helpful when I enquired about a booking for an evening meal providing an excellent recommendationat a local pub.The rooms were clean and very nicely decorated with everything needed for a short stay available .Breakfast was an outstanding array of delicious food options .I would recommend The Belfrey to anyone looking for accommodation host off the A303 .

Very nice hotel with character in small hamlet but within range of coast and Exeter.Maintained to a high standard and a good breakfast with choice of freshly cooked items.Hotel does not have facility for evening meals but we had hoped to eat at pub opposite but this had been closed for some time and nowhere else to eat in Yarcombe so need to go out in car.We ate at The Flintlock inn at Marshand also at La Campagna at Buckland St Mary and both were excellent. They are shown on a map at the hotel and are around 5-7 miles away.

We really enjoyed staying at The Belfry.The room was spacious and I loved the windows with two different views, especially the lovely stained glass one. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows so soft.I had the best night's sleep of the holiday.The breakfast was tasty and once we got used to the arrangements in the dining room, everything was very well organised and Covid secure.If we were in the area again, we would certainly come again.

Lovely peaceful rural location. Beautifully presented B&B

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean, well equipped and comfortable. The bathroom again, was very clean and well equipped BUT instructions on use of controls in the shower would be good. I couldn’t change it from the overhead shower and I didn’t want to wash my hair! Breakfast was very good. Lots of variety and very nicely cooked.All COVID precautions were taken and well organised.

After months of lockdown it was a real joy to spend a couple of nights at this delightful B & B.Comfortable room with very good COVID safety observed. Absolutely delicious breakfast. Well situated just off the A30 it was easy to travel to the coast and other places of interest.

Lovely place, lovely hosts, lovely breakfast.Nothing seems to much trouble.Many thanks.

Delightful setting, decor, facilities.Very comfortable.Breakfast was superb.

We had a lovely, relaxing stay at the Belfry over 3 nights. Breakfast was awesome, room as per photos were very clean and perfect for our stay. Highly recommended.

Situated in a quint village.Had a great time...breakfast was second to none.Rooms spotlessly clean.Lovely hostsDefinitely would recommend for a short stay.Due to Covid-19 slight changes, but excellently informed of the rules.Will definitely be staying again.

Smart, well managed, off the beaten track B&B - ideal stopover. Great rooms and breakfast but no evening meal option. When we stayed (Oct 2020) the Yarcombe Inn pub opposite was closed and awaiting new tenants. Taxis proved to leave no choice but to drive due to the £50 price tag for a 20min journey. Having said that - driving to The Candlelight Inn in Bishops Wood was a fantastic choice for our evening meal.

Very pleasant welcome in these difficult times Room very well presented& spotlessly cleanProbably one of the best breakfasts I have had at the many hotels I have stopped at

Stopped for one night at The Belfry.Warm welcome, comfortable room with tea/coffee making facilities, lovely bath products and bath robes. Breakfast was delicious too!

Lovely room and en suite. Good Covid precautions in place, felt very safe. Great breakfast cooked to order. Would recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at the Belfry everything was really lovely. You made us very welcome and all precautions to keep us safe were in place. The room was very comfortable as was the bed. Loved the bathroom with the shower. Breakfast was very tasty and loved the fruit pots. It is in a beautiful tranquil location and wish we could have stayed longer but there is always next time.

My partner and I decided on an evening away from it all! The Belfry ticked all the boxes. Immaculate attention to detail in the room, a real vibrancy to the building. I was happy to have the church bells resounding at 4am, it gave it the atmospheric feel we were looking for. Was somewhat perturbed at the static clock at 0630!!! The breakfast was divine, quality matched by the service. Will definitely return and spend longer to walk around the gorgeous surrounding countryside.

Sparkling clean, fabulous breakfast, very comfortable bed and lovely toiletries supplied. If you are travelling to the Candlelight Inn atBishopston for dinner, which we recommend, make sure you write down the directions. We considered it ’too far to walk and the roads not safe to walk along but well worth the drive. Especially after dinner being able to finish our drinks outside by a wonderful warming fire pit.

We recently stayed at The Belfry for 2 nights. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable and the breakfast was one of the best I have had. Will definitely be returning.

Having stayed at the Belfry on a number of occasions in the past, it was reassuring to find that the quality of the stay (and the breakfast) was as excellent as ever. It was clear that Covid-19 issues had been carefully assessed and addressed, we felt very comfortable during our stay and would have no hesitation in returning.

Lovely reception on arrival, lovely room and bathroom.Breakfast was lovely too and no loss of service due to covid rules.Felt safe and happy the whole time.

This is a charming place to stay. The rooms are very clean. The beds are huge and comfy with nice and crisp bedding. The rooms are well equipped and the bathroom even has lovely toiletries provided. Currently there is limited interaction with the hosts but I am sure usually they are very hospitable. There is a fridge to use and and ironing board and iron. Plenty of parking. Bring some snacks as there is nothing nearby, just a very beautiful church. We had a minor issue but the hosts very quickly did their best to resolve it.

We stayed at the Belfry for one night to break our journey to Cornwall and found our room spacious and comfortable and the bathroom well-provisioned with L'Occitane products.COVID-procedures were in place and welcome.We took up the owner's recommendation for dinner at the Cotley Inn in Wamsbrook and had a truly fabulous meal there, although a bit of a wander through very dark, narrow country lanes to get there but well worth it!A good full English breakfast the following morning was a great start before our onward journey.

We had a very relaxing week. The room had everything you would need, clean and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was perfect a good start for the day.Thank you

We stayed for one night on our journey towards Cornwall.Picturesque spot in a small village. Shame the local pub is closed, encourage you to search and book meals out early in other places, including a local taxi if you want to have a drink.Room and hotel were lovely, comfortable, spotlessly clean with clear precautions in place for everyone re COVID-19. Really enjoyed the cooked breakfast.Highly recommend this hotel

What a fantastic location, brilliant hosts, super breakfast and the room was fantastic, all in all we had an amazing stay

I have mixed feelings about our stay here because in all fairness it was a top star hotel but in the first night I got very little sleep due to our room being opposite a village church chiming every 15 minutes and a busy road. However every thing else was fantastic from the breakfast to the wonderful lotions and shampoos. This is a boutique hotel so rooms are smaller than normal. The close location to main roads meant getting around was easy. The village is mostly farming. We did go for a walk but it was a little scary with the farm vehicles speeding around when you are used to town traffic.

After missing out on visits in March and June due to lockdown this trip was much anticipated. As usual the welcome and hospitality were outstanding. Neil and Sarah-Jane have made every effort to ensure Covid-19 safety. The room was great with a super comfortable bed. As for the breakfasts - simply unbeatable! We look forward to our visit in March 2021 when hopefully the world has returned to some semblance of normality. Thanks Neil and Sarah-Jane.

The B&B is very nicely presented and comfortable and the breakfast was brilliant. Even with the issues because of covid for a business like this the owners have managed to keep things very pleasant for guests.

Very friendly place, everything ran smooth as silk (even with Covid precautions in place).Breakfast excellent. If the opportunity arises, will definitely stay again.

Nice welcome, even though on main road very quiet only the church bell to break the silence.room was more than adequate nice comfy bed and good pillows.breakfast was excellent, good produce and presented well . Would I stay here again? YES !

Thank you for such lovely hospitality. The room was gorgeous and such a comfortable bed we slept really well. So much thought has gone into making sure that guests get the best possible despite restrictions. Delicious breakfast to round it all off- perfect.

Loved staying at this unique place full of character. Everything was extremely clean, superb qualityand welcoming. We were looked after really well by friendly hosts. The breakfasts were excellent. Yarcombe was a quaint place to stay. Very convenient to all the places we wanted to visit.We will be back!!

Just stayed 2 nights at The Belfry at Yarcombe.Excellent position,although on the main A30, it’s reasonably quiet. The room was comfy, the breakfast excellent, choice of teas & coffees very good.Hosts were great.Only downsides no shaver point in Bathroom. Extractor in Bathroom wasn’t automatic so window was running with condensation if you forgot to turn it on. Windows misted up in Bedroom because of the secondary glazing & spoilt the views.Good stay though, weather was kind.

Really friendly host. Fabulous breakfast. Very comfy bed.

We loved everything about The Belfry. A warm welcome, comfy bed and a great breakfast. Will recommend to friends

Lovely hotel with excellent breakfast.Beside main road so some traffic noise but worth putting up for overall experience.

Really impressed with the whole experience, very clean room, amazing local breakfast, friendly hosts and very covid conscious, could not recommend more highly.

It was exactly what we needed and wanted on our way down to Cornwall. The hosts were amazing, nothing was too much trouble and the breakfast was delicious.

Class bed and breakfast in a class part of the countryBed was extra comfy, breakfast was superb

Stayed for three nights in August. Very Covid aware and took good precautions.The room was lovey but with the windows open could be noisy due to traffic noise and church bells, ok with the window shut. Ear plugs are provided. Shower was fabulous.Breakfast was delicious and very high quality produce.No fridge in the room, but fresh milk is available along with a good selection of teas.A very enjoyable stay and would definitely stay here againThank you.

Travelling to Cornwall it was lovely to stop off at the Belfry. We stayed in the Wordsworth room with lovely views. All the details were thought of and breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious

Lovely room and beautiful building. Bed extremely comfortable. Nice toiletries in the bathroom. Very tasty breakfast. Friendly staff. They took extra precautions and efforts to be COVID-19 safe.

We stayed for 4 fantastic nights. Beautiful old school building in an idyllic setting. The accommodation is very well maintained with lovely decor throughout. Breakfast & service to die for! Neil & Sarah are perfect hosts. 5 stars!

We had a small (Keats) but well equipped room with a great modern bathroom, with a fab shower. We had a good sleep- and made a coffee when we woke up. The breakfast was lovely- hot, fresh and very tasty. We read in the lounge and really enjoyed the night.

Great stay, clean room, breakfast spot on, would stay again

Superb guest house, bed comfortable, bathroom beautiful and breakfast very tasty with lots to choose from. Thankyou, will be staying with you again.

Very nice Stay

Lovely set out B&B, we used it as a base to attend a socially distanced wedding in the country. Lovely owners a fantastic breakfast. I'm sure there are some wonderful walks you can do from there as well. I would stay again, just be prepared for the church bells chiming at every 15 minutes (they stop between 23.00-07.00,but they do kindly provide ear plugs as well).

We stayed at the Belfry for 4 nights in July and had a wonderful, relaxing stay. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and our bed was super comfortable. Everything was done to ensure social distancing was maintained and we felt very safe. We can highly recommend Neil’s fruit pot for breakfast! A great location for exploring South Devon.

We’ve stayed a number of times now and are never disappointed.Good size rooms, comfy beds, quiet location and an excellent breakfast.Definitely recommend

The Belfry is in fact a converted Victorian school building put up in 1872, which gives added character. It stands on the A30 overlooking the lovely Yarty valley. There is good parking off-road and we had a warm welcome on our arrival from our hosts - our first time away since the Coronavirus lockdown eased. Good hygiene precautions were in place and we felt completely safe. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast excellent. We were recommended a very good bistro pub in a lovely Somerset village about 10 minutes' drive away for our evening meal, and it did not disappoint. The only possible downside could be road noise, but the A30 was quite quiet whilst we were there and we had a good night's rest.

Really friendly welcome, comfortable rooms, a delicious breakfast and a really great pub not far away for dinner. Would definitely stay again.

It was everything and more for a BnB!Clean cosy and comfortable!Excellent breakfast!Wonderful hosts!Would recommend to all!

One of the best places I’ve stayed. Great breakfastRoomswell presented and thoughtfully preparedprobably the worst thing about the Belfry was leaving.

Excellent hotel and excellent breakfast.Thank you

Very comfortable bed and wonderful breakfast. I was so reassured by all the new covid implementations it enabled me to enjoy my stay and just relax. I Definitely would recommend the Belfry as I have stayed there many times and it never disappoints.

My husband and I stayed at The Belfry at Yarcombe for three nights in July 2020. We stayed in the beautifully and tastefully newly refurbished Coleridge feature room with fabulous views over the Yarty Vally and a gorgeous stained glass feature window. The room was decked out in an array of luxury from the tea and coffee making facilities to the L’Occitan products and the complimentary robes. A lovely comfortable super king bed gave us good nights sleep. Neil was most attentive and made a great breakfast every morning. Whilst taking care to adhere to all of the COVID - 19 guidelines it was done subtly and sympathetically. There are beautiful views from the terrace where we enjoyed an glass of wine each evening while watching the sun set behind the Vally.Yarcombe itself is a pretty village small and peaceful but within easy reach of most of Devon’s tourist attractions. There are the most spectacular walks with breath taking views right on the doorstep.This is by far the best B&B we have experienced and would highly recommend it.

Hello Dawn, Thank you very much for your wonderful review, Sarah-Jane

Very nice stay, Neal did extremely well considering he had only just reopened for 2 daysx

Excellent accommodation, facilities and service.The owner, Neil, was friendly and hospitable, nothing was too much trouble.I thoroughly enjoyed my time at The Belfry and started the day with a delicious breakfast.If i were to stay in the area again, this would definitely be my first choice for accommodation.

stayed here lots of times great value lovely place

I couldn’t fault my short stay at the Belfry. My room at the front of the building was clean and as described, with a comfortable bed, decent broadband speed and parking in front of the building - the L’Occitane toiletries were appreciated.Breakfast was fantastic. I opted for the cooked “Belfry”, but there were plenty of other options.It wasn’t a problem for me, but light sleepers should be aware that the Belfry is close to the road. It also has a church (with bells) on the opposite side of the road. Earplugs are supplied if you need them, but I was fine.I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Neil and Sara-Jane were friendly and welcoming and the Belfry is ideally located.

Very comfortable stay. Lovely modern shower room. Chiming church bell not a problem and traffic noise very quiet over night. Easy to find location in a very pretty area midway between chard and Exeter. Would definitely stay again.

What a great weekend we had , we based in Yarcombe as was central to where we wanted to be our accomodation was amazing it was so cosy and warm the bed was fantastic and the bathroom perfect and so clean very high spec , our breakfast was first class and cooked to perfection our host's were friendly and helpful .All in all we would highly recommend staying here .

HiThank you for a lovely stay at the Belfry. I was very well looked after and felt at home and comfortable. And the breakfasts were amazing. I hope I can stay again.Best wishes Louisa

Excellent little hotel. Seamless check-in, comfy beds, clean rooms and fantastic breakfast. It was easy access toChard, where we were working the next time. Excellent value for money. Will definitely stay here again if I’m working in Chard again or in the area for a holiday.

Hosts, Neil and Sarah Jane, were very helpful and friendly.Very comfortable room with an excellent shower with plentiful hot water (much needed as it was the weekend of Storm Dennis). Excellent breakfast. Fabulous walks, from the doorstep.

Friendly host, lovely clean and comfortable room. I have stopped in a lot of hotels for work but can honestly say I had the best cooked breakfast I have tasted here.Will definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel.

A refreshing change to stay at a bed and breakfast where everything

Great hotel in a really nice location. Owner was really polite and welcoming

Lovely place to stay, great food friendly proprietor, great part of the world to stay and beautiful room very cosywill stay here again and recommend it to any one and a very reasonable price

I needed overnight accommodation whilst en route to Exeter.The Belfry was ideal - 30 miles from Exeter, and close to the A303.Able to arrive late.Room comfy.Great breakfast!Lovely location!

What a lovely place. They had thought of everythingFluffy robes , biscuits, a fridge with juice and milk outside the room, lovely kippers for breakfast , most comfy bed ever.Would definitely stay again.Highly recommended.

The Belfry is a perfect place to stay . There has been a tremendous amount of thought gone into providing all your homely comforts for your stay . Extremely friendly and welcoming,Neil showed us to our room , and explained various pubs and restaurants we could visit. However , after a 6 hour drive from Sussex , traffic was dire , we decided to go to the pub across the road . It has only been reopened for about 4 months after being closed for 4 years . I’ve got to say , we really enjoyed it , good selection of drinks and although only a few things on the menu , the curry we had was really good . The young couple running it were very friendly and polite.After a good nights sleep , we had a cracking breakfast cooked by Neil . There was everything you could have wished . Will definitely be going back in the future . We stayed in the Keats room , but I would imagine all the rooms are equally as cosy and homely

Very good standard accommodationExcellent breakfastHighly recommend

Beautiful room, attentive service, good restaurant but busy and popular bar restaurant area which was a bit noisy (or lively).The location is absolutely stunning and perfect for walks, the sea pool and beaches.

A quaint and cosy small hotel. Very comfortable large bed and room space.Good bathroom. Walk in shower strong. Everything very clean.Friendly welcome. Good breakfast.A very quiet peaceful overnight stay.

We had a lovely few nights in the comfortable historical property. I loved the charm and details of the Belfry. Everything is in great shape and it is obvious the owners take pride in their establishment. Our room was the largest one and had beautiful a huge and beautiful stained glass window. Particularly enjoyable was having a hot bath at the end of each day in the large tub and is the only room having one.The breakfasts were perfect with such a great variety of anything you would want, including a full English breakfast or scrambled eggs with salmon, many jams, cold cereals, fresh fruit, and juices.Neil was very helpful answering questions and providing maps and tips of the surrounding area.

Never stayed here before and as I regularly stay out for work this one is definitely on my "must stay again" list.

Lovely stay, beautiful accommodation, and an excellent level of attention to detail, if you go somewhere for the little details and extras this place is for you. Breakfast was very good, hosts friendly and accomdating. Rooms are well proportioned, clean, and very comfortable beds. The only feedback is the soundproofing between rooms could be better. It's an older building so probably difficult and expensive to rectify. If you are a very light sleeper do consider, apart from that though absolutely go!

The welcome was warm and our room was cosy and clean. Loved the bathroom and the shower was a nice powerful one.

Great hotel great value very comfy

Received a very warm welcome and very attentive. Room was all prepared and a few little extra touches made it very welcoming.Room was clean and bed very comfy!Good breakfast the following morning and pleasant conversation with owner.

This is a must to stay , the decor is fabulous, your host is very friendly and can’t do enough for you .My room was spacious and the bed so comfortable.I could go on and on except to say if you are looking for a fantastic place to stay thencome here .

What a lovely stay we had we were made very welcome and well looked after.I look forward to staying with you again

Excellent! Perfect for what I needed and the lounge was great for work.

Very welcoming, really comfortable with attention to detail and the breakfast was great. I was travelling alone and felt completely relaxed. I would certainly highly recommend The Belfry.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the delightful Belfry where accommodation and attention to detail was excellent. Little extras like map detailing directions and recommendations to local eateries was appreciated.Host was most welcoming and breakfast delicious.Would recommend.

Nice room ,good wifi and great choice for breakfast

Comfortable room, good breakfast.Many thanks

Outside needs repainting but overall it was comfortable and welcoming

I couldn’t recommend the belfry enough- the landlord went above and beyond to make the stay comfortable and the accommodation itself was beautiful. The Belfry is the perfect example of a hard working, local business that provides top quality service. Will definitely book again if I’m ever back in the area.Thank you!

Lovely B&B friendly helpful owners. Wonderful breakfast

The accommodation at the Belfry is excellent. The hosts are most welcoming, the rooms are spacious, clean with lovely views of the countryside. Our bed was comfortable, particularly following a long flight from Australia, whilst the nearby church bells rang hourly the sound was hardly audible. The highlight of the stay was the superb breakfast cooked individually for each guest by Sarah Jane, certainly a great start for a day of touring in the Devon countryside. Would we stay stay here again, most definitely. The hosts will also provide excellent recommendations for evening meals.

We enjoyed a very relaxing two night stop at the Belfry. We were made very welcome and all amenities were provided.The breakfast was very good and made using local produce.

We had a lovely stop over here on our way to St Ives.We were greeted warmly and shown to our room.There were lots of lovely touches: poetry to read, a range on hot drinks, delicious toiletries and even ear plugs.The bed was very, very comfortable with lovely sheets and the shower was luxurious.Breakfast was varied and tasty.What more could you ask for really?

We really loved our one night stay here : the room was if anything even better than the pictures and had all the facilities we would need.The greeting on arrival was very friendly and very efficient and ensured that we had all we needed.Directions to the dinner venue were very useful. Breakfast was fantastic!the couple that run this place would hard to make this place perfect and we would definitely recommend this as a place to stay especially is travelling to or from the West Country.

MET AT THE DOOR BY SARAH JANE WHO SHOWED US A FRIDGE FULL OF COMPLEMENTARY JUICES TO HELP YOURSELF TO, THEN SHOWED TO OUR ROOM WHICH WAS LOVELY WITH A PERFECT VIEW, WITH THE CHURCH BELLS RINGING EVERY HOUR (EAR PLUGS SUPPLIED FOR THOSE WHO NEEDED THEM). BEDROOM AND BATHROOM WERE FAB WITH DRINKS, BISCUITS AND REALLY NICE BATHROOM PRODUCTS FOR YOUR USE. EVERYTHING HAD BEEN THOUGHT OF FOR A LUXURY STAY WITH A PERFECT BELFRY BREAKFAST IN THE MORNING - DELICIOUS!

Simply excellent in every respectAnd the fried bread cooked in duck fat is to die for!

A great stay. Easy to check in, a lovely breakfast and a fridge under the stairs with juice in it. Just need that pub over the road to open.

Stayed one night . Fantastic value , room excellent, breakfast great . Great room with lovely toiletries, bed very comfortable. Nice touches with tea and coffee and biscuits . Would recommend

Very enjoyable stay. Breakfast excellent but as a mature couple, would have preferred a walk in shower.

Such a beautiful room and they thought of everything, including earplug for the very loud church opposite which chimes every fifteen minutes throughout the night and day.We are vegan and were given a vegan breakfast which like many other places, was pretty small in comparison with the meat one, which looked huge! To be fair, there was cereal, tinned fruit and toast available, but it would have been nicer if there had been some hash browns or something.

A very pleasant stay indeed. One comfortable night within striking distance to Chard, Lyme Regis, Jurassic coast and beautiful bucolic countryside. Excellent breakfast.

We were just happy staying one night at Yarcombe´s "The Belfry". Description of location, the rooms, beds and the outstanding breakfast - every thing was absolutely fine! Thank You!

After a hiatus of four years we returned to The Belfry. The welcome we received couldn’t have been warmer. Neil and Sarah-Jane remembering us from previous visits despite the number of guests that have visited during the ensuing years. The comfort of the rooms and quality of the breakfasts have remained excellent over those years.What makes The Belfry stand out for us, however, is Neil and Sarah-Jane who deserve more than the five stars available.Expect to see us again on a regular basis.

Great breakfastFriendly welcome

Lovely accommodation, 2nd time I've stayed in 4 weeks.Room and en-suite clean and tidy. A hearty full 'Belfry' English breakfast is strongly recommended.Neil and Sarah-Jane make you feel most welcome.

We arrived late in the evening and first impressions were very good. Spacious room with a lovely big bed. The breakfast was excellent and the hosts friendly and welcoming.The downside for us was the shower over the bath which was dissapointing.

Very pleasant comfortable stay.

As always an excellent stay . A beautiful room and a breakfast that is always excellent .

Old charm, comfy beds. Excellent food a very home from home feel. We were given a warm welcome. Definitely recommend

We had a very nice stay at the belfry. Very clean and breakfast was excellent. This was our second stay and it still has the high standards it had the first time.

It’s a great building,very similar by looks like the little cathedral. Situated in tiny village almost in the middle of nowhere, very nice sceneries around the bands leading to the property.Inside was very clean and one of nice things about the owners was this lovely late check it, we arrived around 8.49pm and we were most welcome. In the morning we received again a most friendly hospitality in our home made breakfast. All ingredients were from the local farms.It’s a very good stop for all travelers.

Warm welcome, lovely room, comfortable bed, excellent breakfast. Loved to hear the church bells but we like to have the window open so unfortunately they did affect sleep, even with ear plugs! No doubt we would grow used to them in time.

Amazing accomadation will definately be going back

What a fab place this is to stay.Five star accomadation for me and should be upgraded to five stars on the door.Neil and Sarah -Jane were great hosts.The breakfast was delicious and set me up for the days work.The bed was comfortable and it was like being at home.I really enjoyed my stay and will definately return one day.

We had a very pleasant stay at the belfry. Tidy room, good bed, beautiful environment. A very friendly couple that runs it and the breakfast is worldfamous. I would definitely return!

was our second visit in 4 months. 1st visit with my partner in november second with my partner and parents february. The b and b is second to none. Fantastic rooms and breakfast. Will be back soon and highly recomend to anyone. The history of the building is incredible as is the original features and decor. Cant wait for our return. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Honestly, this was hands down the best B&B myself or my partner have stayed at. We would 100% return, the room was perfect, the owners are very welcoming and bend over backwards. We were very shocked to find that it isn't classed as a 5star! It was worth every penny, if not more! Thank you so much for having us.

Excellent breakfast, clean rooms, fantastic toiletries and brilliant host

What can you say ,it was splendid from arriving .great room and excellent welcoming hosts. They are known and very well respectedin the local inns and places to eat. Would definetly use again . The bed was unbelievable and had a great night sleep.

Excellent village Hotel with high standards of cleanliness, Very friendly staff , would definitely stay again.

Tastefully decorated and well appointed room, with a comfy bed. A warm welcome and excellent breakfast. I am a coeliac and I was extremely well looked after. There were even gluten free biscuits in the room (something which is often overlooked). The breakfast was top notch too!

A lovely little gem - felt very safe despite travelling alone. Host was very welcoming and breakfast was lovely! Nice little touches to make you feel really at home

Hi great hotel nice and clean good welcome and an amazing breakfast

Warm welcome comfy bed very nice breakfast.Some nice personal touches but room could do with a decorate.

Came across the Belfry by chance and very glad I did. A converted Victorian School with Links to the famous Drake family.Spotlessly clean , very comfortable rooms & bed, very friendly warm welcome, excellent breakfast.would I stay again, without any doubt .

This is a fab place to stay. With the first threat of snow, in the 2018 winter, the heating was on full blast, as my wife and I were shown to the Coleridge Room, with its 6ft super King bed. The Belfry’s 6 rooms are all named after famous poets, which, if time had permitted, we could have read some of his poems, contained in a book in our room.Dinner beckoned and Neil, one of the owners, suggested we go to the Candlelight Inn in the nearby village of Bishopswood. Unfortunately, Yarcomb’s only pub is currently shut. However, the meal at the Candlelight was superb and just an easy 4 mile drive away.Once back, we retired to our room and enjoyed the most comfortable night in a truly fabulous bed, one of the best we have ever slept in, away from our home.Breakfast was also simply fantastic. I had their fry, including the duck fat fried bread, as a bit of away from home treat. It set me up for the day.All in all, this is a great place to stay; not far from the A303, but far enough to think you are away from it all.We will be back!

Thank you very much Peter, your wonderful review is very much appreciated.Best wishes, Neil and Sarah-Jane

Was an amazing place to stay , hopefully will return again .

We stayed 1 night and it was a lovely stay.A lovely personable welcome, very interesting room, extremely comfortable bed. Breakfast was superb.Highly recommended and very good value for money.

This was our second visit to 'The Belfry' and as before everything was perfect . A great location and excellent service from the hosts andthe breakfast is very very special .

Overlooking the village church with a functioning chiming clock, this B and B provides a quintessential village stay. The beds are plump and soft, the shower hot and the toiletries by L'Occitane, the towels refreshed daily and the 'in room' refreshments copious..I had to ask NOT to have biscuits. Excellent choice of teas and coffees and juice and fresh milk available in the downstairs fridge.An interesting building and one that has challenges no doubt but makes for a great B and B. The decor was slightly dark for my taste but no matter, it's clean and cosy, warm and relaxing. There is a guest lounge as well as a breakfast room.Breakfast was good, fine choice of fruits to accompany yogurts and cereals. Cooked breakfast was lovely, I stuck to scrambled egg and smoked salmon the whole time I was there.

A very welcoming & friendly stay with good breakfasts & a very comfortable bed.

We stayed for 3 nights and were perfectly satisfied with the high standards we found. We would certainly stay here again.

Everything was perfect, set in a stunning location. Many thanks!

Very good service, rooms, breakfast well done

excellent value, very comfortable beds,luxury bathroom, kind hosts and superb breakfast.

Our requested ground floor room was comfortable and suited our needs. Pleasant comfortable lounge and good breakfast. Neil was extremely welcoming and helpful.

Thank you for a lovely night stay,loved the breakfast

Lovely pillows and bed.. Rooms thoroughly clean with nice attention to detail. Breakfastwas great. Bit of a drive to a local pub, but food and drink were worth the trip

Warm welcome from cheerful hosts in idyllic quintessential English Village set in the Blackdown Hills. It becomes quickly apparent that all effort is made to anticipate every little comfort that guests might hope for. Excellent and beautifully presented breakfast. Evening meal at the Candlelight Inn is an absolute priority... do not even consider alternatives! Many, many thanks,Nick and Jan Whitchurch (Steyning, West Sussex)

Great place with excellent facilities and wonderful breakfast provided, the owners are very friendly.

We had an event at Honiton and needed an overnight stop.The Belfry is a beautiful bed and breakfast.We requested a king size bed but got a twin but this made no difference really.The room was spotless, fabulous toiletries, lovely bed linen, good quality refreshments.Slept very well and the breakfast next day was outstanding.Felt that nothing was too much trouble.Would highly recommend.

We arrived at the accommodation as a stop on our onward journey. We had a comfortable bed and good breakfast...nicest bacon we've had since we've been here and very nice, well cooked eggs. Along with a hot shower it was all we needed. Thanks 😊.

We were welcomed into a beautiful room, with a beautiful view. Breakfast was amazing with locally sourced products which we loved. The room was spotless and our hosts obviously took a lot of pride in their work.

A wonderful building with magnificent windows, I stayed just one night in room Tennyson, very clean throughout, welcoming hosts, great nights sleep all finished off with an excellent breakfast. Would recommend and most certainly return

The Belfry is full of charm. The owners are very friendly and know the area well, so can advise on routes etc.The breakfast was full of locally sourced products and home made jams..delicious.My room had cotton sheets on the bed, great in this recent heatwave and the bathroom had L'Occitane lotions and shampoos.The whole Schoolhouse was stylish and very comfortable. It is situated not far from Chard, Lyme Regis and Honiton so easily accessible by car. A very enjoyable stay, Thank You

Very helpful, room lovely. I would recommend this place to everyone.

A wonderful stay. Made very welcome, clean & comfortable room, breakfast fantastic. Highly recommended.

Always a wonderful stay at The Belfry!!!

We arrived to a warm and friendly welcome room was lovely fabulous night sleep breakfast excellent was definitely on the whole a 4 star stay . Would definitely recommend this lovely place and hosts were lovely friendly and professional would definitely go back again.

We holiday in the South Westtwice a year and The Belfry is always our stopover betwixt London and Devon. The wonderful sleep, followed by the best of breakfasts and the warmest of welcomes from Neil and Sarah -Jane in their beautiful hotel sets us up perfectly for our holiday ahead. We would not by choice go anywhere else.

Very Comfortable bedrooms and beds. Lovely Breakfast, easy parking and access to a sitting room for all party members to use if raining. V helpful owners. No hesitation in recommending.

The hosts are friendly and welcoming. The Belfry is in a lovely location. The rooms are spacious, clean, airy and stylish. The breakfasts are gorgeous, tasty and generous. We have found an absolute gem and intend to return.

Everything about our stay was faultless. Great host, room, food and comfort. Thank you, great value for money too.

My wife & I stayed at The Belfry for a long weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel & its location within easy reach of many local attractions we enjoy.Neil, the owner was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble & his breakfasts were a fantastic start to the day.We will come again for sure & we would have no hesitation in recommending The Belfry at Yarcombe.

A good, comfortable, quiet typical 4star accommodation which is very handy for breaking one's journey. Will definitely use again.

What a gem of a hotel.Although I only stayed one night it was a delight. I asked for early check in which wasn't a problem.My room was Bryon, it was clean, comfortable the bed & pillows were so soft you just sank into them...heaven.The bathroom had everything you could think of, all the toiletries you would need for an overnight stay and spotless.Breakfast is what you'd expect, yogurt,fruit & juices,freshly cooked fried breakfast- nothing pre cooked and dry as old boots here.I will visit again and will recommend.

Excellent 10 out of 10 service

Neil was a wonderful, warm host. Very comfortable and delicious breakfast.Highley recommend.

Excellent facilities, a lot of thought gone into ensuring a comfortable stay.Unfortunate that on arrival we were not informed the booking they hadwas for one person not a couple an error that we had not noted on the confirmation email but which on checking was confused - iinducating stay for one person but that couple were vegetarian.This led to an uncomfortable check out for my partner which marred the experience.

Eight of us have had a most wonderful stay here. Rooms, breakfast and general ambiance was excellent and the owners couldn't have been more accommodating. There's plenty of information on places to eat and visit and the lounge is lovely to sit in whilst you make your decision.My partner had a lovely birthday and storage of necessary wine etc for the evening was no trouble at all.If you like relaxed, comfortable and lovely accommodation this is the place. I can see us returning .....

Friendly, clean and comfortable. Very happy with my stay at The Belfry.

We stayed here on the night of our wedding and it was just perfect!

Excellent stay at the Belfry,comfortable bed,great breakfast,nice little extra touches in the rooms,very clean,but just must remember to wear the small earplugs supplied to block out the noise of the church cloak.Will call again when in the area.Many thanks Andrew

Top gastheer. Leuke locatie. super ontbijt.

I booked this room as a gift for my son and his partner - they cannot praise the room, view and sevice highly enough. Also dinner at The Candlelight at Bishopswood was also excellent - Thank you, would highly recommend

We both enjoyed our stay at the belfry. It was an amazing couple of days and the attention to detail to attention was brilliant. We would both happily stay again and would also recommend it to a friend.

A great place to stay - spotlessly clean and fantastic bed. The room was equipped with everything you could need - and more, with fresh juice and milk available if required. Superb well-equipped bathroom and shower, easy parking and friendly, helpful host. As long as you don't mind a drive to the nearest shop or restaurant, it's a perfect location.I'd definately return.

Neil had a great understandingof my Coeliac needs.Great breakfast, powerful shower & very comfy bed

Very nice place, wonderful rooms, hosts very fiendly and helpful. A lot of extras in the rooms.

Stayed for one night.Excellent host, friendly but not intrusive.Comfortable rooms with great views and plush furnishings, although one bathroom needs refurb. Both slept really well and thoroughly enjoyed the full english breakfast, good, quality ingrediants nicely cooked. Would definitely stay again if in area.

Very comfortable Huge bed quality linen and a great breakfast

The Belfry at Yarcombe always always marks the real beginning of our holidays to Devon. It is where we first begin to feel relaxed andcosseted thanks to the warm welcome, wonderful night's sleep and legendary breakfast the following morning. ..then we are ready to continue on our way.

words cannot describe just how nice this place is, steeped with history, spotlessly clean, very very friendly and welcoming staff, everything and more is provided for your enjoyable stay from a full range of tea bags, different coffees and more toiletries than ever. the food is to die for with everything been locally sourced, i cannot praise this place enough

Another wonderful stay at The Belfry thank you for making my donkey visits even more enjoyable!!!

A nice hotel in a lovely village. Owners made us feel very welcome. Would definitely stay again

Lovely hosts,wonderful breakfast with loads of choice, comfortable bed and a great base for touring around.Loved it :)

My stay at The Belfry was fantastic.Comfortable, clean, warm with a great comfortable bed and a shower that delivers. The breakfast choices are very good and delicious. The hosts are very welcoming and communicate well. Overall 11 out of 10. Thanks guys.

A beautiful location, welcoming and friendly hosts, a lovely room and a wonderful breakfast

Arriving at the Belfry, we were welcomed from the time we stepped foot in the door. The service was excellent, the place was warm (despite being around 0 degrees outside!), and had an amazingly homely feeling.Peaceful and quiet, and easy to find we shall certainly be coming back again (this time to try the supposedly amazing breakfast!)

What a delight, Sarah and Neil couldn’t do enough for us, even russled me up 2/3 gin and tonics, as it was my birthday! The breakfast was the best I’ve had at any bed and breakfast. In fact I think if they went on the TV programme 4 in a bed they’d win hands down. I would recommend to anyone. 👍

A real gem of a B and B ! Nothing was too much trouble - we booked the wrong room - wishing to stay in a room with a beautiful window but we were swiftly settled into the room we wanted with no fuss. Comfortable bed and spotless room with a lovely shower room - flannels, L’Occitane toiletries and large fluffy towels. Lovely touches included real coffee bags ( and decaf bag too) with fruit juice and speciality tea bags available too. We hope to return.

Loved my stay at the Belfry! Bed was very very comfortable, atmosphere was friendly and relaxing, bathroom products were super and breakfast was delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful with supper recommendation and accommodating for breakfast times.Will definitely be returning when in the area next.

Beautiful old village school converted to boutique B&B . Warm welcome , characterful and comfortable room and top class breakfast.Can't be beaten and would recomend to anyone.

We had a nice ground floor room. On arrival we were shown the fridge for extra milk, etc., and given advice on local places to eat. Delicious breakfast with good local produce and very tasty home made jam and marmalade.

Room was large and bed was exceptional! Good quality bathroom extras appreciated. Fresh milk/juices available throughout stay (overnight). Excellent breakfast.Disappointed no bar facilities - which seemed to be indicated by room guide.

Very nice and well equipped room. Friendly staff. Superb breakfast.

We were made very welcome by the proprietor and the room had every comfort one could possibly require. The location it very quiet and picturesque and the breakfast was excellent. Superb value for money.

A warm welcome , comfy rooms , delicious breakfast and friendly charming hosts . All this together with fabulous countryside and stunning views ..... Enough said!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Belfry. The room was extremely comfortable and well equipped and the breakfast was perfect. I would highly recommend this B&B.

We had a wonderful weekend break at The Belfry. Made welcome from the start, andhelpful throughout. Everything clean. The biggest and most comfortable bed ever! Wide choice for breakfast. Loved the sound of the church bells. Altogether relaxing. Thank you.

Beautiful clean and so comfortable highly recomended

My husband and I had a really pleasant few days. We were made most welcome. The hotel is is clean and tidy and warm.We will certainly come back. Thank you to our hosts.

A really lovely place to stay.We felt very much at home.

Nice place.Cosy rooms, very friendly staff,perfect breakfast!Highly recommended👍👍👍

Had a fabulous stay, where the staff were amazing and so friendly. The place was lovely and the breakfast was to die for. Would recommend this to everyone I know without hesitation.

Just perfect for our overnight stay. The attention to detail was faultless. Thank you to all at the Belfrey.

A wonderfully comfortable room with glorious views. Lovely facilities including a downstairs fridge with juices and water to help ourselves from, and a very comfortable bed - they even provided a lavender pillow spray!Our host suggested a local walk to the pub, which took a good deal longer than we expected but which was very pleasant and did us the world of good. If you go on this walk, however, take a strong torch! - we fortunately had one with us but there was no lighting on the way back.Fabulous breakfast in the morning set us up nicely for the rest of our journey. We had booked this as a place to stay on our way to Cornwall from Hampshire, and for this purpose it was really ideal - a super place with thoughtful hosts, ideally located for visits to nearby beauty spots.

Absolutely outstanding wonderful hosts,beautiful room excellent location this really is a first class boutique hotel

Lovely stay here, everything was excellent.Highly recommended

We had a lovely stay at The Belfry. It was a return visit and just as good as we remembered. The hosts are welcoming and the rooms are clean and very comfortable, providing everything you could possibly need. We shall certainly book again.

I booked the Belfry as a last minute stop, and was very pleased to find something so quiet and comfortable. Neil serves an excellent breakfast too, good stuff.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Belfry with comfortable rooms, good facilities and lovely breakfasts. The owner was helpful and friendly. Thank you for making our short break so successful.

A very nice place, nice hosts, they thought of the small things that people need. Overall a very good stay-one comment-perhaps a vegetarian option on the breakfast menu but no problemThanks for the experience

As a family of four (children 20 and 12) we booked two rooms at this lovely B&B which was in a very convenient location for our holiday plans. Breakfast was very nice as were the rooms and we very much enjoyed talking with owner Neil who gave us some useful tips on where to eat and where to visit. Only slight niggle was with the shower in the boys' room, but this was solved by them using our shower. Would certainly recommend and we look forward to visiting again.

A very individualistic guest house with distinctive and comfortable room and a generous selection of teas and other beverages in your room. Breakfast was focused on quality rather than quantity.

Lovely room,great breakfast and spotlessly clean, highly recommended B&B

Wonderful comfortable and so very quiet at night.We stayed for one night only on a Saturday and we certainly hope to return again in the future.The location is truly in the countryside, good off road parking and everything the overnight traveller could possibly need.Breakfast has a wide selection of good local food, we went for the Belfry full English which is a well presented treat,it set us up for the day fantastically.We cannot recommend this B & B highly enough.

Beautiful B&B.Excellent breakfast & value for money.Lots of extras.

This was our 3rd visit to The Belfry and as before it was fantastic.Neil and Sarah-Jane are very welcoming and helpful and they just make you feel right at home and relaxed.The room was very spacious,comfortable & clean. The tea and coffee in the rooms is good quality and fresh milk is always available in the fridge downstairs along with fresh fruit juice. When it comes to the breakfast I have never had a better one anywhere and there is really good choice to suit all tastes... We can't thank them enough and will be returning.... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The facilities suited our trip .The room was clean and very comfortableThe Belfry was suitable for our one night stay we found the room clean and the bed comfortable although a little noisy as we were at the front next to the road .The breakfasts were freshly cooked and very nice.The owner was friendly and helpful.

Bonne ambianceChambres confortables très bien équipéesPetit déjeuner exquis

Really nice B and B great breakfast all the trimmings with the room. Would defiantly book again.

Excellent service and incredible nice staff.

I stayed at the Belfry for one night in April. The room was excellent as was the breakfast, facilities and management. Hope to stay again one day.

We had a wonderful restful night at The Belfry followed by a superb breakfast. The fried bread was just like my grandmother's!The bed was really comfortable,the toiletries and the little extras such as the poetry books made everything a little bit more personal.We had a warm welcome and the surrounding area is beautiful. We loved the feature window. We thoroughly recommend this hotel.

Very friendly and helpful B&B. Promptly returned my iPhone plug which I had left in the bedroom by mistake.

The Belfry was a lovely B&B. The breakfast was lovely. The facility in the room was good. Everything was very thoughtful.

Ten out of ten. Great attention to detail, we loved it

Welcome was warm and host could not do enough to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Breakfast was great and rooms were clean and tidy. Location was to die for with fantastic views all around.

Nice stay in a small village. Excellent breakfast. We missed a pub and/or restaurant in the village.Hosts very nice and helpful regarding various exursions.

Very comfortable beds and a delicious breakfasts. Will certainly book again if I'm in the area

Very friendly welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. All needs are met. Comfy bed. Lovely rooms. Yummg breakfast.

We enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was comfortable, clean and mine host was very welcoming.Excellent breakfast.It was a one night stop off but would definitely come again.

Great hosts and fantastic breakfast. Twin room very clean and comfortable but cramped and no chairs. Large lounge but information leaflets out of date.Parking easy and location easy to find.

Perfect stay, great access to all the devon tourist spots yet far enough away to avoid the bustle.Neil was an excellent host

Excellent 2 night stay at the Belfry. Interesting old building yet very modern and stylish rooms with excellent bathrooms ensure. Very comfortable bed. Very quiet despite being on the A30. Delicious breakfast. Good location for exploring East Devon and W. Dorset. Easy drive to Lyme Regis. Good pubs not far away.

Beautiful room, well equipped and lovely clean fresh luxury bedding. The owners were exceptionally welcoming and helpful. Little touches like the complimentary juice bar and pillow spritz made the stay extra special.

Beautiful .... Lovely place ..., couldn't recommend highly enough ... The Belfry has thought of everything down to the last detail 😃

A lovely location in itself but also an ideal stop off point if you are travelling further west. Easy parking also.

Very nice stay,the room was lovely and staff were very friendly.The only negative point i would say is there website needs to be updated as it states there is a pub the yarcombe inn across the road but when we stayed this pub had been closed for 3 tears or so which was a bit disapointing.

The Keats room we had was lovely. Fantastic shower, wonderful breakfast and congenial hosts.Would go again in a heartbeat.

A warm and friendly welcome ia awaiting you at this little gem of a Hotel.The rooms are cozy and comfortable. Just right for a little R&R.The hilight for me was breakfast. Lots of choice and the best allegen friendly menu I've come across. Fabulous.

Super location,charming hosts, great breakfast and first class service! What more could you ask for. Would recommend to anyone. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful, comfortable and absolutely spotless room which had everything you would need, including poetry anthology by the poet the room was named after! Bathroom (including power shower) was fab. The breakfast was one of the best we've ever had. Great location too. Really can't fault The Belfry. Highly recommended.

Fantastic cosy room with beautiful surrounding view. Breakfast was delicious and everything we could have hoped for. Would definitely stay here again if we ever return!

A very enjoyable weekend was to be had at this comfortable establishment, helped with the pleasant owners.

Lovely period building with spacious, comfortable rooms that are beautifully appointed with everything a visitor could possibly need.Great breakfasts.

Lots of great touches like the drink selection, access to a fridge (not used), great breakfast, warm and friendly hosts. Loved the room with the arched windows

Extremely welcoming and kind hosts in Neil and Sarah-Jane.The food here was amazing - fresh and locally produced.The accommodation at The Belfry was very clean and very comfortable - nice firm beds and plumped up pillows!The faint sound of the nearby church bells was very soothing (excellent double glazing).

Stayed as a group of ten at the belfry for a get together and walking weekend. Great accommodation, owners couldn't do more for us,very welcoming. Fantastic roast Saturday night in our own dining area. Lovely breakfast and comfy rooms and beds. Coupled with good walking countryside made for a perfect weekend.

Although only staying for the one night we were welcomed warmly and could not have asked for a more friendly place to stopover.Hopefully we shall return.

Very welcoming,friendly staff,enjoyable breakfast. Great room with a view of the church,loved the bathroom.Perhaps some more hooks to hang things on would be an advantage.

We stayed one night at the Belfry and were very impressed with the quality of the accommodation. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom of a high standard, the breakfast delicious and the hosts very welcoming. Have no hesitation in recommending this b&b very highly.

I doubt if you'd find a more comfortable and pleasant place to stay. The owners have made a lovely homely business which is built upon quality, friendliness and style.I would recommend to anyone.

the rooms are always clean and the beds so so comfy,the food dinner and breakfast the best, better than any where I have ever eaten.We go back every year....We love it

What a wonderful place to stay - the rooms were beautifully appointed , the food superb but for us and our friends the factor that added that 'excellency' star was the quality of the welcome and throughout the level of service from the owners - a real pleasure to stay at The Belfry

Lovely little hotel, very nice room with lots of nice touches and thoughtful additionsand a cracking breakfast

This is the second time I've stayed at The Belfry. Both experiences have been excellent, warm welcome, very comfortable room with lovely attention to detail, and a lovely breakfast from local ingredients. A welcoming and comfortable stay.

A charming little place, full of character and hospitality. A little out of town but a lovely drive through beautiful countryside so not a problem.I'd definitely stay there again if I happen to visit the area in the future.

We could not recommend The Belfry more highly.The room was well equipped, stylish and spacious.The stained glass window added to the ambience.Food was excellent and plentiful and our hosts were friendly and helpful.

We had a marvellous stay at the Belfry ,a warm and friendly welcoming ,beautiful room with such a complete and delicious welcome tea tray (cold drinks in a fridge ,tea ,coffee ,sweets and biscuits )the village was very quiet ,beautiful view overlooking the countryside .Our hosts were so nice and ready to advice us excellent adresses to have dinner ( the tavern and the gastronomical pub ),great help to find the places to goBreakfast was excellent,completeand delicous ,we will return with pleasure

I cannot rate this establishment highly enough. From the warm welcome, friendly advice on where to eat......foolishly I had overlooked the necessity to book a meal at the Belfry in advance....I will remember that next time. Room was large and very comfortable with high quality toiletries; even a pillow spritzer! Could not have asked for a single other thing. Thank you!

The Belfry was a wonderful place to stay for the night. The hosts were welcoming, the room comfortable, and both the Dinner and Breakfast superb - what more could you ask for?

Warm welcome, very comfortable room, excellent breakfast. Highly recommended.

Very comfortable room and lovely shower room. Best value room I found in an expensive area.Friendly reception and helpful staff. Absolutely beautiful area. Good parking

Enjoyed my stay. Will recommend

Attended a wedding so stayed overnight ....Wow!! what a treasure this place is.Stayed in the Tennyson ...Beautiful largestained glass window,the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in.The extras that are not only in your room but throughout the building are so thoughtful .....It was lovely.I emailed Sarah to ask If we could book in much earlier to enable us to change for a wedding...This was no problem for her,she had both rooms readyLastly the breakfast ....Its the best breakfast I have ever had....all local ingredients, the sausages are fantastic.Neil and Sarah are a great team....always smiling and helpful.Would recommend to anyone.

A beautiful setting and building overall. The whole ambiance was delightful. I particularly appreciated all the L'Occitane products in the room!

Lovely room. Very clean. Food was really good. Friendly welcome.

Well converted historic building in middle of nowhere.Friendly host.Just passing through

Beautiful setting, lovely place and some genius, thoughtful touches that make all the difference. Fridge with fresh milk. Toast served before, after or during the cooked breakfast. Excellent.

Although I stayed for only 1 night on my way down to Cornwall I thoroughly enjoyed it.The room was spacious and comfortable with the extra thoughtful touches - like biscuits and a dressing gown; Breakfast was excellent. All in all a 5 star experience.

Nothing was too much trouble for the owner to ensure we had a memorable and comfortable stay in this little haven. All the facilities were well appointed and there was plenty of tea/coffee/chocolate available in the room as well as free fruit juices.Our stay was beautifully capped by the 'Belfry' breakfast which was superb.Unfortunately we only needed a one night stopover but hope to return soon for a longer stay and would highly recommend.

Staying at The Belfry is a real home from home experience. Set in a peaceful location you will find a friendly welcome and well appointed rooms with comfortable beds. I have not been lucky enough to experience the restaurant but if the full English breakfast on offer here is anything to judge by, it will be good.

I had a very comfortable nights sleep and the breakfast was excellent.Beautifully run family business. I would definitely be staying there again when I am working in the area.

Pleasant stay in a clean and tidy old school house. Breakfast very nice. Owners very helpful. Lovely view.

A warm welcome, a good nights sleep, a great breakfast.....and most importantly really good coffee....recommended.

excellent well presented accomadation friendly atmosphere and excellent breakfast

We stayed here for just the one night to help celebrate our wedding anniversary. We chose The Belfry because of other positive reviews and particularly the food reviews in the restaurant, we were not disappointed. Both the evening meal and the fantastic breakfast were very much up to standard and the welcome and service far exceeded that given by other more corporate hotels, friendly and smooth but not rushed.No doubt we shall return.

We stayed at The Belfry to attend an evening wedding reception in Stockland. The hotel is excellent, very homely and has everything you need. It has a lot of charm and character and felt like home from home. The breakfast was one of the best I have ever had and it was a shame we were not there for dinner too! I would not hesitate to recommend the hotel and Sarah-Jane and Neil are excellent hosts! Thank you!

I rarely give 5 stars because this means nothing can be improved upon, therefore 4 stars for this little gem. On arrival, i thought the outside looked a little tired and worried that it may be a place of former glory. I arrived inside and was greeted by the male owner who extremely friendly and welcoming, showing me the little fridge under the stairs for extra milk etc, and then to my room. I was in 'Tennyson' at the front of the building looking over the main road and across to the church. There was a beautiful stained window that was thin and looked v fragile, and i was told of the costly replacement bills for each window. The whole place had clearly been recently decorated and new carpets. My room was sweet and cosy. The shower was amazingly powerful and hot after a bit of perseverence. Lovely L'occitane bath products to use while there. A nice soft bed with pillow mist on the side. Lots of lively considerations such as a small bottle of wine at a £10 surcharge. Ear plugs with a note explaining that the clock may disturb me. I didn't hear it although the road got wuite busy in the morn.I also enjoyed a lovely breakfast from a good choice menu, cooked to order. It did seem a slight inconvenience that i'd drank the wine and that needed to be added to the receipt that had already been prepared, but other than that, it was a lovely stay and i would definitely recommend.

Stayed overnight in this B & B and loved the special characterful room and setting. Just great place and nice hosts, though road was a tad noisy from early on due to road works traffic. Great place and highly commended.

A really friendly B&B with excellent facilities and comfortable beds. I would highly recommend

Extremely comfy room and a great cooked breakfast.

Excellent food and accommodation with nice touches, make sure you book for dinner, best meal we have had, it made our wedding anniversay special.Thank you

Overall an enjoyable stay. There was some initial confusion with the room booked as we had booked a room with a kingsize bed and the room given had a standard double; this was soon sorted by Neil who put us into the room with a superking bed.The school house is a nice looking building but some of the needed repairs are being held back due to the building being listed.

Refined and highest quality spacious bedroms in beautiful country home. Access to living room, spacious dining area, and free juices, etc., at will. Great varied breakfast cooked to order. Hosts couldn't be nicer. Parking free and easy access.

Excellent stay.Warm, comfortable, friendly.Minor attention to the veggie breakfast would make it perfect!Highly recommended.

A lovely welcome on arrival and everything was of a very high standard. Superb food and service. Really nice touches in the bedrooms such as a sleep mist, high quality toiletries and an extremely comfortable bed.

Loved it here and will definately go back

What a find this amazing place was, and an unforgettable dinner. Didn't realize Sarah Jane had some experience at our other favourite stay Le Manoir. Watch out Raymond she is every bit as good, if not better!A really special place and we can't wait to return.

We found the Belfry purely by chance and had a delightful stay on our way down to Devon.Lovely warm and clean room, an excellent dinner and a great breakfast, all served up by the lovely friendly owners.What more could you ask for?

One restful nights stay.Really comfy bed.Lovely & quiet, and really nice touches throughout.

A flying visit so didn't get to sample the evening food menu but will return if we are in the area again.

Lovely hotel full of character, and little extras that make a special place. Fantastic breakfast and great hosts. I highly recommend it .

This hotel is comfortable, has lovely rooms with all the mod cons one would expect in a highly rated hotel. The owners are welcoming and do everything to ensure that the stay is perfect. Totally recommend this hotelGeoff

Thank you so much for your lovely review Geoff, we look forward to seeing you again soon

Amazing place, I keep returning!Wonderful, caring hosts, everything you might need during a stay away, real attention to detail.The most comfortable beds and pillows, I sleep like a log whilst here!Breakfast is the icing on the cake, thoroughly recommend this little gem!

what a lovely clean hotel. Our hosts were very friendly and the breakfast was very good .we would recommend it.

Although we only had a one night stay, we were warmly received and had a very warm welcome. The breakfast was delicious. Keep up the good work.

Most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. Lovely food and wonderful views.What more could you want. Thank you

We had a wonderful stay, and Neil and Sarah-Jane were at pains to ensure everything was perfect.We slept soundly in a very comfortable bed, plenty of hot water, excellent food, and above all, great friendliness.Would recommend the Belfry to others unreservedly.

Fantastic hosts, loverly clean tidy rooms, they have gone into great detail to make sure you have a great stay. Good breakfast.

A very comfortable one night stay on our way to a funeral at East Devon Crematorium (less than 30 minutes away). Excellent evening meal and breakfast. Only minor disappointment was that the room did not have a bath, which my wife prefers, despite the fact that the website indicated that the room we booked did have (but it did have a great shower).

I stayed in the wordsworth room which was beautiful.The whole place is in a beautiful old church style building and is clean, comfortable and welcoming.Lovely and quite with great wifi making it great for a business trip.I will be returning

Could not fault this B&B, the food was amazing. Sarah-Jane and Neil have been excellent Hosts. Would warmly recommend this well run hotel.

Friendly, excellent service and standard.Nice setting, comfortable rooms with nice touches, all in all i would recommend ..

My stay at the belfry was warming extremely comfortable and very enjoyable I want hundred percent would stay here again and recommend to all my family and friends

We stayed in the Byron Suite for two nights.The food is excellent and would recommend for a short reviving recharge of your batteries. Close to the Jurassic Coast with all that has to offer.

Beautiful building and tasteful rooms with nice touches such as posh toiletries and tea/coffee, plus fresh milk. Shame we couldn't eat in the restaurant but had lovely meal at local pub (The Candlelight Inn). Very nice breakfast. Would stay again if in area.

Although I was only there a short while, the Belfry at Yarcombe is one of the best places I've stayed at.Beautiful setting, tremendous rooms and facilities topped off by a delicious breakfast!I will return!

Excellent food and drink in a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.Our hosts - Sarah Jane and Neill - did everything to make our stay very enjoyable.The whole family loved their stay.

Fabulous food, fabulous rooms, fabulous hosts, what is not to love, we go back year after year.

My wife and I, along with my Son and his Girlfriend had a wonderful stay at your hotel en-route to the Poole ferry, Our rooms were really beautiful and we were treated to a hearty breakfast from local farms. The owners were very welcoming and we appreciated all the small touches in the room

stayed 2 nights B&B and dined each evening as well. Welcome was warm and friendly with accommodation and facilities good.The food both in the evening and at breakfast was perfect as a result of the tireless efforts of our hosts. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel.

A chance find - and what a treat!I was fortunate to book dinner on Friday.Sarah-Jane is, quite simply, abrilliant, creative cook.The food was wonderful - definitely worthy of a star.The service was excellent - attentive but not intrusive, the bed was the most comfortable I have slept in for years, the room was cosy and well equipped, and the surrounding area beautiful.I can't wait to return.Thank you Sarah-Jane and Neil.

My Mother booked this weekend for my husband and I as a birthday treat.On arrival we were greeted by the owner.The Keats room was lovely, but what made the weekend for us was the fabulous food and the service. We would definitely recommend and would love to go back another time. Laura & John Thank you.

We truly enjoyed the stay at the Belfry for a couple of days. The bed was very comfortable and even though the Inn was full our room was absolutely quiet. The breakfasts and dinner were outstanding. Special thanks to Neil and Sarah Jane for their friendly hospitality and helpful tips about the area. We would definitely come back.

Very comfortable and cosy room, very welcoming owners and a lovely breakfast.

Once again Sarah-Jane and Neil prove to be the perfect hosts. The newly refurbished Keats was very well appointed and the bed extremely comfortable.The food was up to the usual excellent standard we have become accustomed to. The goat's cheese tart delicious enough to make me consider a vegetarian diet except I would miss out on the full Belfry breakfast!We look forward to our return visit(s) later in the year.

A warm welcome, a gorgeous room that was beautifully decorated and bright, clean and stylish. All my requirements were met however if I has needed anything else I feel the owners would have happily obliged. The food was outstanding, beautifully cooked and mouthwatering flavours and a work of art to indulge the senses. I would recommend a stay here, and although my room was near a road and opposite a church neither of these things interrupted my sleep and I'm usually a light sleeper.I had an amazing stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if I was in the area. A big thank you.

Amazingly enthusiastic and committed hosts who succeed wholeheartedly in ensuring that their guests enjoy their stay at the Belfry. The attention to details in the room was beyond expectation and it felt like a home from home. The evening meal was prepared and presented with a passion and excellent value for money. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will most certainly be returning at the first opportunity.

The welcome at The Belfry was warm and friendly. The bedroom was spacious and the bed was fabulous! Large, comfortable, good bedding and cosy.The breakfast was good with plenty of choice.

Good food, good bed, lovely room,nice people.Great Stay.

We arrived late to a warm welcome, nothing too much trouble! Room was cosy and warm. Great nights sleep! Ensuite lovely and clean and fresh. Breakfast to die for! Can't say a bad word about The Belfry and cannot wait to return! Many, many thanks!

A comfortable room (especially the bed) in an interesting historic building, with excellent food and friendly staff - we can thoroughly recommend this venue.

A comfortable retreat where a warm welcome awaits weary travellers!

A real gem. Great hosts so helpful recommending a great local restaurant. Fantastic comfy bed with quality bedding and l'occitane products in the great bathroom .. A real treat!

Neil and Sarah-Jane are fabulous hosts. Welcoming, friendly, attentive - but have that rare knack of getting all of that just right and not being over the top.Yarcombe is easy to find, and a lovely little village. The Belfry is a characterful building which has been well transformed. We stayed in two rooms, Tennyson & Wordsworth. Both well appointed and comfortable. Excellent showers. Wonderful views from both.Breakfast was great. WiFi strong and quick.Will definitely be staying here again.

My partner and I were looking for a quiet relaxing away from it all NYE and that's what we got.........with the added bonus of fantastic food, great hosts and a fabulous bed.Sarah-Jane and Neil really know how to look after their guests! Highly recommended to all

Had an excellent nights stay. Beautiful room, very modern bathroom and very comfy bed. The hosts were very welcoming and enjoyed a wholesome breakfast.I cannot fault this, and thanks for the extra special touches.Michael

Sad to say we only spent 1 night while visitng family but it was the best night's sleep I can remember. Wife loved the power shower and the breakfast was excellent. Lounge was very tastefully decked out for christmas and the hosts were very welcoming. It will be the first place we try when in the area again.

The Belfry is really warm and welcoming. Neil and Sarah Jane made us very welcome, the room had everything we needed and breakfast was absolutely outstanding. I would highly recommend The Belfry

Well, this is the seventh year that my friend, Ann and I have been coming to this little retreat. This gorgeous place has been run by Neil and Sarah Jane who have found the right balance of providing a historic place to relax with modern luxuries and food to die for.They are a lovely couple that cannot do enough for you and all I suggest is that you just try this place once and like me, you'll be wanting to come back again.

I spent one night here in November, breaking a long drive across the country. It was an excellent choice and good value for the price. Quiet location, comfortable room and sitting room, excellent restaurant (catering ably for my vegan diet). The ground floor bedroom was fine for a single night. I'd choose an upper room if I was staying longer - which I might another time.

Love it here, my new home from home with everything from flannels to beautiful L'Occitane to use it is like being on a mini spa break! Then there are the fabulous "full belfry" breakfasts with very good coffee and home made preserves. Dinner is a treat with amazing french style patisserie desserts with home made ice cream.See you soon!!

Thoroughly enjoyable stay with thesefriendly, helpful people. The Belfry has an interesting history, there's a beautiful Church right opposite (maybe the bells during the night were slightly unwelcome!) but the setting is so pretty, the A 30 is busy but it didn't matter.Would definitely hope to stay thee again.Very reasonable price too.

Recently stayed at the Belfry, a brilliant place to stay.Far exceeded our expectations. Lots of personal touches, lovely welcome, best cooked breakfast ever.

This is a very charming hotel with really friendly owners. We had a lovely room with a big stained glass window in it and a huge and very comfortable bed. Breakfast was amazing and they even had gluten free sausages,bread and soya milk and everything is done and cooked by the owners.

A chance stop en-route to Cornwall but we thoroughly enjoyed our one-night stay at The Belfry. The facilities, hospitality and breakfast were all excellent. Our only regret is that we didn't make a reservation for an evening meal so we'll have to return one day!

We had an overnight stay at The Belfry and it was superb. The rooms were perfect and the food was excellent.

Friendlyand helpful hosts, Clean spacious room, comfy bed, and fab breakfast =lovely stay, thank you

The Belfry was an excellent short drop off on a journey West.Welcoming, friendly hosts, comfortable accommodation & delicious food.

Spent 2 nights with Dinner on the first night - more than excelled our expectations and Sarah Jane and Neil are perfect hosts - we'll be back !!!

A little gem in the English countryside.

I stopped overnight at the Belfry at Yarcombe on my annual visit to the West Country, this was my 3rd visit and I wasn't disappointed. Each of the rooms are named after a famous poet and my room for the night was the Tennyson, a very comfortable room which boast a magnificent stained glass window and a recently updated bathroom. The evening meal was fabulous, Sarah-Jane is a very talented cook and produced a meal which would not disgrace a top restaurant. A really fabulous place to stay, but shhhh don't tell everyone!

The owners of the Belfy are extremely warm and welcoming. Food was amazing, the room was comfortable, cosy and filled with L'Occitane toiletries & a fluffy white dressing gown. Had a very relaxing stay.

Peaceful, comfortable, accommodation with attentive hosts and such great attention to every detail to make the stay relaxing.Delicious food.

Excellent,very well run B&B, we received a warm welcome from the owners and stayed ingood room with a comfortable bed. Breakfast was also very goodwitha wide choice andserved very efficiently .We also ate here in the evening and enjoyed our meal , wouldnot hesitate to recommend staying here.

Just the ticket for stunning views, a delicious dinner and a comfortable bed.

I had the joy of staying again at the Belfry and as usual I received such a warm welcome, great room with a very comfortable bed, lots of extras to make me feel at home and then graced with lovely a breakfastthis morning.I always feel refreshed and energised after staying here.I'can't wait till the next time!

Very comfortable hotel. Missed evening meal as restaurant not open on Sunday evenings but had a fantastic breakfast this morning.'The Full Belfry' which I would heartilt recommend. All locally sourced produce.

warm welcome with coffee and homemade cake.Clean and comfortable room with quality toiletries,bottles of water, oj and apple juice and loads of tea and coffee available.we also had the meal which was super.Highly recommended.

The Belfry has a lovely atmosphere. The service is friendly with a personal touch. On arrival we were offered tea and cake and made to feel very welcome. Although it lies on the A30 the village is very quiet and picturesque. From our room we had great views of the church, thatched roofed pub and rolling hills beyond. Very pleasant stay. Excellent breakfast too.

Perfect location for a peaceful stay in Devon .We were with a wedding party and the whole stay was second to none .the rooms are comfortable and yet quirky .The wedding meal was superb .compliments to the owner chef .All inall a wonderful stay .would recommend this hotel to anyone .

A delightful two night stay in a most comfortable room with beautiful views. The food was first class and our hosts could not do enough to make our stay a memorable one. My wife's dietary requirements were met fully. Will definitely stay again

Such a hospitable welcome with tea and cake in the sunshine.Could not have had a friendlier stay. The restaurant is an amazing idea where you request your meal ahead and Sarah sources and cooks it. And our breakfast was delicious.

Everything about our stay here was lovely, so many thoughtful extras, a beautiful room full of character, a very comfy bed, super shower, luxury toiletries provided,the electric fan was most welcome. The evening meal was outstanding, as good as any top restaurant, an excellent wine list, very attentive service throughout. Homemade jam at breakfast! and such friendly owners. A real gem.

Nice little place with very friendly and accommodating staff.

Charming accommodation in a small peaceful rural setting with stone cottages, lovely gardens and good walks.The breakfast at The Belfry and attention and welcome of the owners especially good.

A pleasurable stay, all the accommodation was beautifully kept and the final little attention to detail in the room made our too a short stay very enjoyable.It was nice to see that the room was equipped with everything you needed, could not fault the accommodation at all, will return for a longer stay next year.

Excellent food and a great welcome in this small well appointed hotel.Bedroom had everything one would need and a large very comfortable bed
