We've found that B&B's can be awkward... as the guest you can feel like your just staying over at a strangers house, and it's hard to relax in that environment. At Kilbury Manor we did not feel this way at all and it served as a great base for exploring the local beautiful sights. The accommodation is in a comfortable... More

As Americans, perhaps misled by the word "manor", we visualized upscale, traditional, historic amenities set in the English countryside. Didn't happen. The urban site was hard to get to, offered views of a water treatment plant, and was far removed from the river. Did not offer comfortable walking area. Room was comfortable, but had only skylights, not windows for views.... More

We felt welcome from the moment we arrived - Julia and Martin are charming hosts and have made this a great place to stay. We were in the Loft, which is beautifully fitted out, tasteful, spacious and comfortable, particularly the six foot bed. The bathroom has beautiful contemporary fittings and the shower is wonderful! Everything was spotlessly clean. Little touches... More

Just spent the bank holiday at Kilbury Manor and had a fantastic time. Room was very nice, breakfast top notch and we were well looked after (we arrived at half ten at night and still got a gin and tonic!) Really hope we can get back there soon. Hope Cove was stunning!

Delightful very good value accommodation. Couldn't fault either the gorgeous rooms or the delicious breakfast. Fresh milk available for tea making. No communal lounge perhaps only comment but otherwise a true delight. Slept like a log both nights.

Thank you for your review and we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We would love to be able to offer a guest lounge, but unfortunately the layout of the house doesn't allow us to do so. However both the Loft and Garden rooms offer space for a sitting area and have sofas to relax in. More

Kilbury Manor is a charming manor house nestled between the rolling hills of Bukfastleigh and the river Dart. Its rural location makes it a veritable haven for birds and wildlife alike, yet it is within walking distance of the town centre and an ideal spot from where to begin exploring further afield. Its quaint charm is admirably matched by that... More

The owner was lovely and let us use their private access to the River Dart, across the field with their dogs. The room was very cosy and well finished and the breakfast room was very stylish. Lovely food and good information about local eateries finished off a well rounded, high quality package.

Stayed for 3 nights in February 2012, very comfortable, lovely breakfast, great attention to detail, friendly owners and very helpful with local information. Conveniently located for Dartmoor, beautiful area. Highly recommended. I was visiting on my own and stayed in the Moor room which has a separate bathroom but it is still very private, just next door to the bedroom... More

Stayed only one night in January on a fleeting visit to Dartmoor. Found this B&B on tripadvisor and the previous positive comments sum up this property. A quality, clean and well run B&B. The positive experience started with the owner responded via email inside of 6 hours to my enquiry. This is very important in today's world, where decisions are... More
