Leycliffe B&B

Very clean, amazing view, extra confortable bed and very good food, the hosts were so kind that they made our stay there a unique experience with nice talks and very good suggestion about the walking tours around the village.

Arrival and parking:

Arriving at Leycliffe we were greeted by the very friendly owners and made to feel very welcome with tea and coffee on the patio. There is parking out the front on the gravel, which is easy to get in and out of. The house itself is situated on a pretty hill overlooking the freshwater lake and the and the sea just beyond that; the view is absolutely stunning. I can't express how fantastic it is, you have to see it yourself. The house is kind of tucked away off the main road as well – no traffic sounds at night.

Interior:

The interior of the house is handsomely traditional; all dark wood panels, very clean and homey. There are leaflets for all the local attractions and a nice touch of a sweet bowl on the dresser in the hallway.

Breakfast:

The breakfast room is in the small but pleasantly furnished conservatory, or you can sit out on the patio if the weather is fine. The breakfast was cooked promptly and well and Pat popped round with tea and coffee and for a chat - she was very nice, couldn’t do enough for you. There’s plenty of choice on the menu as well, and extra toast if required.

The room:

The room we stayed in, for the price, was very good. It had a wooden floor and a large bed with tables either side, and plenty of space in the wardrobe. In some old B&B’s they’ve basically turned a small cupboard or alcove into the bathroom, and the shower is a ropey thing from the 90’s with only a thin sheet to cordon it off, but this bathroom was actually really lovely with a stone floor and very up to date shower cubicle. Full toiletries were provided.
The TV came out on an arm so you could position it, and had a DVD player built in so before going out in the evenings we’d stick a film on whilst we were getting ready as there was a small selection on the shelf. There’s also a selection of books and games. I’m sure you’d be welcome to leave some behind if you had some you wanted to donate.
Sometimes not a lot of light got into the room, as it was up against a stone wall that blocked some of the natural sun, but we weren’t really in there enough in the day to care. As I say, this was a very competitively priced room, probably if you had the sea view room or an upstairs room, you’d get the view and the light.

Location:

The location is great. If you’re quite fit there are a lot of walks through the nature reserve or over to Blackpool Sands. If you want to go further afield I suggest a car, as you’ll need it to get down all those country roads. We visited Totnes Rare Breeds, Buckfastleigh Otters, Torquay and Brixham with no trouble at all. Its also useful if you want to dine out. There is a wealth of good country pubs in the nearby villages but it depends how far you want to walk, and if you want a late meal or something a bit upmarket its an easy drive to Kingsbridge, Totness or Brixham. 
If you’re feeling vigorous its only a 10-15 minute walk down the hill from the B&B to the sea itself, where there are a couple of pubs to eat at (the Start Bay Inn has great seafood). You pass the lake on the way down and there are some good walks round there with lots of water fowl. The surrounding area is very quiet and picturesque and whilst we were there the Hydrangeas were in bloom. Ideal for both romantic getaways and families. 

Issues: 

I have only one gripe and it may not bother others, or be typical of all the rooms. I didn’t always get a great night’s sleep because of the travelling sound in the building. For example, I could hear next door snoring as if they were in the room with us and it kept me up. My partner pretty much slept through it but I sleep lightly so things like that make me restless. Otherwise it was a lovely stay and we have no complaints about the service or the room itself.

Recommendations: 

-	Full English breakfast
-	Ask the owners about the surrounding walks and attractions as they know their stuff
-	Book a seaview room for the best experience in terms of views and light
-	Eat breakfast or read on the patio overlooking the sea
-	Eat dinner at the Start Bay Inn 
-	Try Kingsbridge for restaurants open a little later (many of the country pubs in the area stopped serving food at 8.30. That might not seem late to some but we’re city folk used to booking tables at 9, so it was useful to us!)

Stayed here for 3 nights with my husband this week and had an amazing time. The setting of Leycliffe is beautiful with views overlooking the fresh water lake and coast.  Only a 10 minute stroll to both.  We arrived to an offer of a welcome cup of tea.  Pat and Danny are excellent hosts, Each morning we eat a hearty breakfast which set us up for the day and was all locally sourced produce.  Nothing was too much trouble for the couple.  Our en suite room was perfect, bed and pillows comfortable, providing a good night sleep.  A lovely touch, was the fresh milk left in a cool flash that was available for drinks in the room - what a good idea.  This stay was special and we were sad to be going home.

Pat and Danny work hard to ensure their guests have a wonderful time staying at Leycliffe! Breakfasts are 1st class, with fresh local ingredients cooked to perfection. Views  from breakfast area and patio are outstanding and don't be surprised if you linger to enjoy view and a pot of coffee or tea is swiftly supplied by Pat!  We will be back  and although our double room was well equipped and clean, we will be paying that little bit extra to book the sea view room.

Stayed 4 nights at this lovely B and B - Pat and Danny go out of their way to make their guests feel welcome.  It is spotlessly clean and comfortable.  Lovely views from the terrace at breakfast time.  Would definitely return.

Many thanks to Pat & Danny for a wonderful week in an idyllic setting. Nothing too much trouble and a breakfast to die for! Clean, well equipped and accommodating from the moment of arrival. Highly recommended
