[3.5 Stars] Stayed…read moreat this cute hotel tucked away in the corners of Tavi in early February. The rooms are extremely cute and charmingly appointed in antique finishes, fine soaps, novels, robes and slippers, a box of teas and shortbread cookies (packaged, not fresh), and a bottle of water from their true roman well. The staff greet you warmly at the door and seem to remember you like an old friend. The downstairs looks like an old tavern with plush arm chairs and couches. The hotel has a great restaurant for dinner with Michelin like entrees. (Will try to post photos of my meal later). The breakfast offerings were a little sparse, but pleasant. They always had a table with my room number waiting for me. The service was very doting, but inconsistent unfortunately. When I had asked about travel information for the area, they sat me in a huge antique chair and brought me a huge basket of travel books and old pamphlets. They even pulled books from their downstairs shelves and insisted I keep them during my stay. The night manager (or owner), offered to have horse riding reservations made for me at ranches they had relationships with and have me driven anywhere I wanted to go in the area. He told me to just talk to the staff in the morning, but when morning rolled around, the staff didn't seem to be in on all the promises nor did they know anything about nearby stables. Was fine. They helped make other calls for me and get me pricing, but a little odd. The day staff was definitely not as helpful nor knowledgable. There was a slight musty smell in my room. When I asked if all the rooms were like that, I was really impressed with their response. They moved my things immediately to a much larger much nicer room. The next room unfortunately was a bit musty too, but enjoyed the upgrade enough, that it didn't really matter. They have wi-fi at a cost. It unfortunately seemed a little spotty. Had to ask them to bounce their router a couple times, but they always accommodated as quickly as they could. Not perfect, but enjoyable enough. Would definitely consider staying here again.

A very relaxed, quality feeling full of anticipation of being completely spoilt! The menu looked delightful but was about £30 a head as I recall which is, I think, quite expensive for a non-special occasion. Highly regarded by several people who's opinion I would trust and on the list for the next special occasion. The chefs often win prizes in national competitions and the accommodation is, I believe, very stylish although I don;t have first hand experience of it.

This place is brilliant, it fits in with its surroundings brilliantly…read more On my stay we were in the cottage attached to the guesthouse. The interior is filled with traditional charm with enough modern touches so you don't feel that you've completely walked back in time. Walking through the entrance to the Gallery at the back (yes as in an art gallery) you truly feel like you're in a fishing village, little details just add the ambience of your visit in the evening they open up the entrances to and light the passage ways with a random layout of candles to guide you. The cottage rooms except for the main bedroom are small, though with where you are you're unlikely to spend much time in them anyways, the only down side I found in the cottage was that the shared bathroom was only accessible through the main bedroom or one of the smaller rooms meaning the people in the third bedroom had to trapes through one or the other each time (luckily someone else called shotgun on this room before realising the location of the bathroom HA!) Breakfast can be provided, with options to suit various needs and on this note the bacon (which is locally sourced) is amazing (for me and my likes in the world, Bacon is as important as Ale) One of the big benefits of breakfast here is that they are quite accomadating as to what time you want breakfast too which is a pleasant surprise. What is nice about the cottage as well is that because it is self contained and right next to the side entrance you can come and go without a care of the time if needs be while at the same time you're literally feet away from Sarah and Dylan should you need anything, though do bare in mind that the Cottage is intended as Self Catering opposed to the rooms in the Guesthouse. Having also had a gander round the Guesthouse (the time of year meant they were quiet so we Dylan took us round to have a quick nosey at what else was on offer, only of the empty rooms of obviously there were other people staying) these bedrooms are more spacious than the cottage, the cottage gets the benefit of its own Kitchen, as all throughout the guesthouse are additional Lounges and Bathrooms finished with a large communal Breakfast room dominated by a truly awesome round breakfast table ready for feasting. The Guesthouse is based virtually in the centre of the village making it an ideal starting point for whatever you fancy whether its being staggering distance to the pubs, to going for long walks along the beach or in the hills. If you do go by car then the carpark is barely 2 minutes walk from the Guesthouse, the carparks also really reasonable if you're visiting the place during the day its £1 (yes ONE pound, two fingers up at City Car Parks methinks) or if you need a space for the weekend its £10 (so about the same price as being allowed through the gate of a city car park :OP ) IF the car park is full, there is a second one on the other side of the village, but with how big the village is this isn't really disasorous, instead of a 2 minute walk its maybe as much as a whole 8 minutes at a slow pace. While maybe needing a seperate review in itself (I'll have a think on this) the Gallery at the back of the Guesthouse is Sarah and Dylans Side Hobby and Passion. They really look to support local artists providing a venue for people to come and view (and purchase) the work, they even have an Artists flat above the gallery for people to stay so they can have space to produce as well as showcase their works. what did surprise me was how busy the Gallery gets, lots of people wandering through the village for the day, come in and have a mosey on through. Cost wise, I'm happy with what I paid, I think it worked out about £50 per night with breakfast, I know the rates vary between rooms etc but with the warm and friendly service you recieve you just feel welcome combined with your room I doubt you'd be dissapointed at the price.

This was like a beautiful summer day following a cold, dark night. The building was built in the 1860s and carries much of its original charm while serving a new purpose. The only caution is that it's up the hill a bit. But this is Torquay; everything is uphill. We would love to come back yet again (we came once a couple years ago, and returned again for this visit).

The absolutely best part of staying here is the breakfast of fresh fruit and what they call a 'Full English' cooked breakfast. Yummy.

There is a BBQ but we've yet to have the chance to use it due to rather rubbish weather. East Prawle is a great little village now, but busier each year. Tasty food in the local pub and cafe, and close enough to the coast for some spectacular walks!
