| Message | 10/10 We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Higher Holbeam. We stayed in the Garden room.This bed and breakfast has to be the best in Devon, it is 5 star. The accomadation & location are first class, and the breakfast was top rate.I have stayed at a number of B+B`s in Devon, but you would be hard pushed to match the quality of this guest house. Carolyn and her two lovely children make you feel very much at home. My children (7yr & 1yr old) enjoyed playing in the garden and we all felt very comfortable. I would recommend a sat nav as the location is very rural off single track country lanes. Mine would not recognise the postcode but did recognise Holbeam Lane. Carolyn you and your family provide a home from home feel and nothing is to much trouble. Thankyou for a wonderful stay and we will see you again. Shea-Leigh Family |

| Message | We were a bit worried when we found this B&B that it might be too rural but found it to be an ideal location to get to the surrounding areas such as Torquay, Paignton, Totnes, Teignmouth and Dartmoor National Park. We received a very warm welcome from Carolyn and her family and felt very much at home in their lovely house. The breakfasts were excellent and her smoothies are to be recommended. Unfortunately time and the weather were against us so we didn’t have a chance to walk in the Holbeam area but just looking at the view over the valley while we were having breakfast I am sure it would have been worth spending a day or two just exploring. We had some nice meals out not too far from the B&B, particularly at the Inn in Denbury and spent an enjoyable evening having a drink on the village green, the one evening when we could appreciate the sunshine! We thoroughly recommend Higher Holbeam, the country lanes are a bit of an experience and certainly a sat nav helps but it was worth it and we would not hesitate to return should we be holidaying in South Devon in the future. |

| Message | We can but endorse the complimentary comments of those before us. Idyllic location, warm welcome, lovely breakfast, spotless comfortable accomodation. Well worth searching out - ability to read an Ordnance Survey map a considerable bonus! Tell your friends; but not too many as we want to be able to get in next time!! Paul & Elaine |

| Message | A wonderful location which, although so close to Newton Abbot, is in the heart of the beautiful Devonshire countryside and the views from Higher Holbeam are gorgeous. Although it rained for most of our visit, it didn't deter us from indulging in a good walk around the lanes! The accommodation is self contained which was great for us as we were attending a couple of functions and we felt that we were not disturbing the family when we returned. Our lovely room with adjoining en-suite was absolutely spotless and Carolyn has paid so much attention to detail and to making her guests as comfortable as possible. The breakfasts (and smoothies) were great and it was a pleasure to chat to Carolyn and other guests, meet the children and of course Monty the dog. Absolutely faultless! |

| Message | Wow, what a find! Mum and I stayed for two nights and it was fabulous. Such great views, good food and spotlessly clean room. I would recomend it to anyone. We were made to feel very welcome by Carolyn, her chilren and Monty the dog, even the sun shone. I feel we arrived as strangers and left as freinds.  |

| Message | Super stay for my exams in a very clean room, felt like I was the first person to have ever stayed. Lovely breakfast, I'm also a smothey convert and now have up'd my five a day. Good location for some study and close to get to the Police College. Will be back next year for my last few exams. Many Thanks Frank Would like to have come from Costatica however the Kernow (St Piran)flag seems more appropiate then the right location but with the Costarican flag. |

| Message | Lovely accommodation which is spotlessly clean, in a marvellous location. Breakfast was excellent with the smoothies, coffee and sausages particular highlights - a lovely meal served by a kind host obviously determined to look after her guests as well as she can. Highly recommended - we will definitely be going back. |

| Message | We recently had the pleasure of staying at Higher Holbeam when we came to Devon for Newton Abbot Races. Very conveniently located. We brought friends with us too, so booked both rooms for the night. They were very comfortable, lovely personal touches added, such as umbrellas in a stand, and the hospitality we received was second to none. We would not hesitate to visit again - thank you Caroline. |
