We used to stay at the excellent Rydon Farm B+B every May, when we went down to Devon to visit "Donkey Week" at the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary. We broke the habit due to serious illness 5 years ago and tried a few others in the area for a change. This year we went back to Rydon Farm again and what... More

We spent two nights here having found it first on Tripadvisor. Great location, excellent breakfast, comfortable and clean rooms. If I were to be picky, the bath towels could do with being a bit bigger. Very accommodating host. Dog friendly at no extra cost. Definitely worth a visit.

We have just returned from a three day stay at Rydon Farm. Prior to booking we spent some time looking for a location that would meet our needs as my father who was travelling with us is only partially mobile. Having looked at various hotels in the area I was beginning to wonder if we could find something suitable before... More

Rydon Farm was a perfect base for a weekend visit to the Woodbury area. The room was lovely, very clean and comfortable, and our hosts very welcoming. We will certainly try to stay again when we next visit the area.

My husband and I stayed for just one night at Rydon Farm, Woodbury and we wished we could have stayed longer but we were on the move - never mind, this property is in 'must return' book and we shall certainly go back when we visit that area again. The welcome was warm and genuine and our room was wonderful.... More

Visited last week, usually stay at the corporate chain hotels but decided to give this a chance as we had a trade show nearby. Accommodation was excellent with a lovely spacious room on the ground floor. Breakfast was excellent (no need for lunch for 2 days). Pub and restaurants in the local village (short walk away) provided excellent food. Take... More

My colleague and I stayed for two nights, and we almost forgot that this was a working trip when we arrived back at Rydon Farm each evening. The rooms are fabulous, with very comfortable beds, and spacious rooms and bathrooms. The chocolates and bottled water in the room are a lovely touch, and the breakfast is well worth getting up...

After years of working in the Corporate World and staying in boring Glossy Hotels it is an absolute pleasure to stay at Rydon Farm. There are a lot of Hotels who could take a leaf out of Sally`s Customer Service. I have stayed a couple of times , the Bedrooms are fabulous, the Farm atmosphere enlightening and the Breakfast sufficient... More

We've now stayed at Rydon Farm twice and it's been a pleasure both times. Sally has made us feel extremely welcome. The farm house is beautiful and the rooms are pristine and the breakfast is excellent. My six year old son loves watching the cows - this is a working farm. I couldn't recommend it more highly!
