Quirky but lovely hotel and restaurant in beautiful rural Devon.
Food was amazing & bed was so comfortable! Best sleep for ages!
If you like older not-so-modern hotels that pride themselves on service this is for you..

What a find. Fabulous small hotel with an excellent eye for detail, customer service from all the staff was above and beyond. The set menu meals were amazing. Hats off to the chef.
My only gripe would have to be the milk pots in the room. A small thermos perhaps?
But overall an absolutely excellent place to stay.

Lovely hotel, lovely room, friendly staff. Recommend to book the three course menu (changes regularly) for dinner at the hotel. I had venison ragout and rack of lamb as main and both were superb. Dinner room is a cosy place, good wine list. Dinner was preceded by some drinks at the hotel bar which, for the size of the hotel has an excellent selection of spirits at very good value-for-money prices. You select your breakfast choices in the evening from an offer ring of various fresh juices, tea pot or cafeteria of coffee and a full English (or various alternatives). Overall we enjoyed our short stay a lot and will return if/once back in the area.

Super Guest House

We were absolutely thrilled to have discovered Plantation House, a charming and exceptionally welcoming guest house nestled amidst lush green gardens.

Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Richard, whose kindness and hospitality immediately set the tone for our stay.

We were very pleased to find freshly baked cake and fresh milk awaiting us in our room— much appreciated — along with a fresh fruit bowl and biscuits.

The room itself was immaculate and very comfortable,

In the bathroom there are White Company toiletries, a choice of vanity items, and plenty of high-quality white towels. The owners have clearly paid meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a truly comfortable experience.

Our breakfast the following morning was generous and thoughtfully prepared, with service that was both attentive and warm. Nothing was too much trouble, and everything was offered with a genuine smile.

I highly recommend Plantation House and only regret that we couldn’t stay for a few more days.

Worthy of a visit

From the moment I walked in, I was made to feel special. Very comfortable food, excellent Broadband, some really nice touches, fresh milk, fresh fruit in room etc. I received a call in the day asking if I wanted to eat at the hotel, I had reservations spending £49 on a meal, but it was worth it. The food is of an excellent standard, breakfast just as good and would highly recommend. Next time I’m back in the area, I will come back.

Relaxing place in the devon countryside

We had a lovely couple of nights here. Are in the restaurant one evening and had breakfast. Food was very nice, but we were surprised at the lack of vegetarian options. Thankfully I did ask for a veggie option earlier on the day. But we were rather told off for not mentioning it earlier. I think they’d do well to ask for dietary issues when you book. But overall it was lovely.

A pleasant two night stay.

Basically our stay was very pleasant and staff very friendly and attentive.
However the bed in our particular room was not very comfortable. Not only was the mattress too soft and lacking support but also seemed to make one’s back sweat.
We were situated at the front of the hotel and with the house close to a busy A Road was quite noisy. What didn’t help was the top sliding sash window was stuck open.

The Plantation Is Perfect

The Plantation is an oasis of calm away from the melee of everyday life. After a busy week’s self catering at Bantham, we knew a swell was coming in & wanted to take advantage of the fantastic surfing conditions. Luckily for us The Plantation had last minute availability for one night. As someone debilitated with Long Covid, I need to plan well ahead. From the moment I emailed the hotel with questions in advance of our stay, to a member of staff bringing something we had left behind out to car as we were packing to leave, the team could not do enough to make our stay a relaxed & pleasurable one.

We booked dinner & again the service, food & ambience were perfect. The staff were attentive but also unobtrusive. It was quite the best & most relaxed meal I can remember.

Thank you to Richard & the all the team.
