Made very welcome by Nova and Mick, comfortable, spacious room, with everything I needed. Local pub (Poachers) recommended for evening meal by Nova, and this was very friendly, I felt very comfortable as a woman alone. Breakfast was fabulous, the most delicious bacon I can remember having. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Drake's Farm is a real find. I'm a light sleeper, and often have difficulty getting a good night's rest in a hotel room. Drake's Farm has comfortable beds, warm but not stifling bedding, and is very quiet. I sleep well there. The farm is also right by Exeter's new "Green Circle" route- 12 miles of footpaths around and through the... More

Michael and Nova made us feel right at home. Nova is a wonderful cook. I love her marmalade. They chat with you like old pals. The rooms are very comfy. They place soft toys on the bed (of course, you can't take them away!)

We chose this B & B for it's quiet location and proximity to Exeter as a base for a trip to explore Cornwall. It was an excellent choice and great value. Our hosts, Nova and Mike were friendly and helpful, with hints on where to eat and how to travel to our desired locations. Before arriving we were able to... More

I have to say the only reason I chose to stay here was because it was the first place I found on google, but after staying here two nights for a shooting trip I've got to say its the best b&b I've ever stated in, and far better than a lot of hotels! Room was huge and well appointed, good... More
