Trimstone Manor Country House Cottages

Just returned from a weeks stay at one of the cottages at Trimstone. A lovely family break surrounded by the beautiful Devon countryside. The cottage had everything needed for a self catering break, the swimming pool was fantastic, we had it to ourselves most evenings. Our two teenage boys really appreciated the pool table and table tennis in the games room and often chose that rather than spending time on their phones (even though the WiFi was excellent). The staff were really friendly and helpful and the hotel gardens were lovely to walk around and sit in, especially with the added bonus of watching the peacock roaming around. Would not hesitate to back.

Firstly I’d like to say the woman who was the manager-cook and I assume bottle-washer was very helpful and nice. However I cannot write anything else glowing. Firstly as it doesn’t do evening dinners, only breakfast, it’s not a hotel - it’s a B&B. We were given the family room - filthy. They should remove the old cobwebs (the dust layers on them was a giveaway as to how long they’d been there), the carpets were disgusting, I made my children keep slippers on, the curtains need fixing (and changing), you need to clean under a bed as when we arrived there was an old sock under one of the children’s beds! Clearly a vacuum doesn’t see the corners of the room and a basic floor sweep is done only. The photo is the view as you walk out of the room. They had a personal party that Saturday, we had to go out and tell people to move on As they kept our young children awake (the bedroom door is one of the cheap MDF temp doors) their guest were sat right outside larking about. It’s extremely tired and needs a lot of money spent on it. It could make good money if rooms were gutted, redecorated and refurnished and kept clean! However I’d never set foot there again.

Lovely historic manor house set in its own grounds in North Devon. Surrounded by lovely countryside and close to the best beaches in North Devon., The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and very comfortable. There were a couple of emus in an enclosure and beautiful peacock roaming the grounds . There is plenty of parking at the hotel and it is situated about a quarter of a mile from a main A road which makes getting to places very easy, The cooked breakfast was very enjoyable.

Lovely quiet place great for relaxation, lovely grounds, clean and tidy rooms, some interesting old artifacts from the building milling past. It also well positioned, giving access to several picturesque seaside towns and local attractions.

Amazing hidden gem The hotel is a fantastic authentic and historic place to relax with some beautiful gardens and countryside close to woolacombe bay and Ilfracombe . Real find will certainly be staying again .Thankyou

Made a very last min booking due to being let down by another local property. Within hour of the call, the room was ready and comfy. The hotel manager was extremely helpful and kind. Nothing was too much trouble. Swimming pool was warm and lots of toys and floats for the girls. Games room was a popular place and kept us busy. Not sure we have been to a hotel that has a few Emus :) Great hotel and amazing staff - will happily return.
