Idyllic B & B in a great location.
Always have an amazing stay at Southern Cross Guest House. You’re always made to feel very welcome and the rooms are so comfortable and there’s everything you need. Breakfast is absolutely delicious too. Such is in a great location for Sidmouth and its idyllic boutique shops and the wonderful donkey sanctuary too.

Overnight stay
This was an overnight stay.
It was easy to find and there was a convenient car park.
Our host answered the door immediately and showed us up the room. It is a very old building with beams and sloping floors and has lots of character. The room was comfortable and warm. We had our evening meal in a pub called The Canon Inn in the village which was excellent. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. Thanks for a lovely stay

Charismatic Inn!
We received a lovely warm welcome to this incredibly charismatic guest house.
Stayed in a twin room with my sister as we were passing through on our travels - the room was clean and warm, and the beds were comfy. Breakfast was good - cereals, full English and toast.
Would definitely return, and would highly recommend.

Worth visiting for the cream teas alone!
The cream teas alone were good enough to justify a 5 star review. The breakfast simply reinforced this.

My visit was brief but exactly what I required.
Unfortunately I didn’t get to sample the cream tea on this visit but future visits I will call in and give my verdict.
Thank you to the hosts for looking after me the breakfast was just what was needed .
Thanks again
