Lovely welcome- nothing too much trouble. I am coeliac and was thoughtfully provided with gluten-free cookies. Owners friendly and breakfast with local produce, delicious. Excelllent value. Very clean.

An almost perfect demonstration of the art of B&B. Almost? Wouldn't want complacency to set in! Thanks Sue and Martyn from Dave, Bill and Mozzer. A brilliant stay.

If you want a blueprint on how to set up and run a B&B , check out Southdown . Following a warm welcome from Martyn and Sue , we were shown to well appointed , comfortable bedrooms. The location, close to White horse trail ,make planning walks from this base very easy - with the added attraction of the host's... More

We have been using B&B accommodation for many years; some stand out above the others and this is one. The owners, Sue and Martyn, are extremely hospitable, and on this, our first three day break, did everything possible to make our visit happy and comfortable. The accomodation was excellent and the breakfasts scrumptious. There was even a daily "special" in... More

I'm usually not fond of B&B's--I'd rather not stay in a stranger's home--but Southdown was wonderful. We booked the room at the last minute, on the recommendation of the nearby George and Dragon pub (wonderful dinner!), and we were so very pleased. We stayed in the green room, which boasted the best bed, sheets, shower and towels that I have... More

Probaby the nicest b&b (or hotel) I've ever stayed in. I stayed here recently on business. The room was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. As I arrived quite late and in the dark, the view from my window next morning was a lovely suprise. The only downside was that I only stayed one night so didn't get chance to explore... More

A beautiful room with a view of their fruitful garden, comfortable sleeping and showering, and the best breakfast ever--all made with locally sourced, lovingly prepared ingredients--made this a holiday dream of a B&B come true. As a lone senior, without much recent experience of UK travel, Sue and Martyn made me feel perfectly at home, and that I -- and... More

They created such a beautiful place. You feel yourself as if in your home. They are so nice with their warm and friendly hospitality. Delicious Breakfast in beautifully decorated table and conservatory. How nice to sleep in peaceful silence and wake up very energic. I never wanted to be end... But this is not end, we wish to come back... More

My two friends and I have been on a weekly walking holiday in the UK for the last 15 years and we all agreed that Southdown exceeded our expectations - in fact we would put it at the top of the places we have stayed. The rooms were superb, showers excellent and the visitors lounge and access to the internet... More
