We enjoyed our stay. The room is nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. The host made us all feel welcome with a cup of tea/coffee and biscuits. The breakfast is good a choice of continental and full English. Location is peaceful and rural, one mile of single track road may not be of everyone's liking. It suited as and next time... More

The owner is very nice, even came to great us outside with a broken leg! We got tea on arrival even though it was late. The breakfast was plenty and we were asked the day before to chose between full English and continental. We had one of each each. Both good. The bathroom was spotlessly clean and very pleasantly fragrant.... More

Once again we were able to enjoy a wonderful stay here. Alison, the owner, as always makes you feel really welcomed. On arrival, tea and biscuits in the lounge. The bedrooms were large, comfortable and have all you would need, plus more. When we asked where we could go for an evening meal, they recommended the pub in the village... More

Pretty much everything you would want from a B&B, with the bonus that this is a working farm with some animals to keep you entertained before tucking into a really good breakfast. Owner is very friendly and helpful. It's a modern wing of a farmhouse, so it's not 'trad', but the room we stayed in was a very good size,... More

Once I'd found Lower Thornton Farm (Satnavs always struggle with rural locations and I missed the sign - which is quite small and partially obscured by ivy), it was among the best experiences I've had in any hotel/BB for a long time. Access is easy enough, off the A38 at the Kenn / Kennford junction, follow the road for 1/4... More

I was very glad to get back to Lower Thornton Farm. Though very close to and convenient for all the busy traffic from the M5 along the A38 and 380 towards Plymouth and Cornwall and Torbay, but in a totally quiet and beautiful location. Excellent room with fine view and a really first class breakfast.

Though less than a mile as the crow flies from the day and night roar of the traffic leaving the end of the M5 and continuing on the A38 and A380 Plymouth and Torquay roads, Lower Thornton Farm nestles just north of Mamhead, the highest point of the rolling Haldon Hills, in almost complete silence. After negotiating the two or... More

I agree with all the "excellent" reviews. We stayed in April 2011, when visiting Exeter for a show. What we hope for in a B&B is a fresh comfy bed and a clean room. Top marks for these, but so much more. The welcome with a cup of tea was an immediate bonus. The room was spotless, spacious and well-appointed... More

I have stayed at the B&B about 10 times over the last 4 years and the service has been of the same excellent standard every time! The rooms are beautifully maintained and the breakfast is second to none! All in Lower Thronton Farm is a brilliant B&B in a hidden and peaceful locationall and undoubtably one of the best B&B's...
