The Old Bakehouse

Stayed a couple of nights in Borrowed Light Room and the only way to describe Steve and Fiona was they felt like friends. They made me feel at home, the room was spotless and I'm fussy. Lovely linen and such a comfy bed, the building had character. Breakfast was absolutely fab, Steve coped very well with my many food allergies, nothing seemed a problem. Great atmosphere with records played each day, you can pick your own. Nice lounge area to relax in with books. Great location in the centre of town, I parked in the courtyard as wasn't busy but otherwise park in the main car park a minute walk away, nice and safe. Didn't want to leave but best recommendation is I will definitely be back soon.

We chose to stay at The Old Bakehouse as, apart from exploring the coast, we wished to visit the beautiful Seaton Wetlands Reserve which has it's own stop on the Seaton Heritage Tramway - the Colyton terminus is only a short drive or walk from town. The Old Bakehouse is full of character and Steve and Fiona made us feel very welcome and relaxed throughout our two night stay. Our room and en-suite bathroom were spotlessly clean and well appointed and the beds very comfortable. Steve has an extensive vinyl collection and even played one of our favourite albums as we ate breakfast! The breakfast was exceptional - an extensive choice - with quality food locally sourced and cooked perfectly by Fiona. We certainly intend to visit again!

Steve and Fiona are the perfect hosts, very welcoming and friendly. Breakfasts were the best...so good and using local produce-perfect. Nice touches like water /biscuits left every day in our room. Parking no problem, very quiet and peaceful surroundings so it was a very lovely stay and we will definitely be back -looking forward to more vinyl tunes at breakfast ! Many thanks.

Rooms very comfortable and clean. The couple that own the place are very friendly and the breakfast is to die for. Located in beautiful East Devon, it is the ideal location to explore the wonders of the area.

Lovely hotel, the owners are warm and friendly hosts. Cracking breakfast and right in the heart of the town, everything is a minute or so walk away. Will certainly book again.

Had a wonderful two night stag with my youngest . Our room was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable . A nice bathroom and shower and teas and coffee in the room too . Steve and Fiona are lovely , extremely welcoming and friendly . The breakfasts were fabulous too ! We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again !

Five stars isn't enough for The Old Bake House! Steve and Fiona are brilliant hosts—warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. The room was pristine, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, easily providing the best night's sleep we've had in ages. To top it off, the breakfast was absolutely amazing. A perfect stay from start to finish. We can't wait to return!

The self-catering cottage at The Old Bakehouse has a calm and peaceful feel, perfect for a relaxing break. Its location in lovely Colyton is ideal for walks, pubs and coffee spots. The cottage has everything you could need, beautifully furnished and immaculately clean. Generous and delightful gifts on arrival, such as milk, wine, chocolates (vegan options as well as dairy as the owners were aware of our dietary requirements). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others.

We booked The Old Bakehouse as an overnight stop on our 3 day walking holiday along the East Devon Way. We arrived cold and tired and we're greeted by our most charming hosts, Fi and Steve. A hot cup of tea arrived instantly (plus biscuits!) and we relaxed for a while in the very comfortable guests' lounge. Steve made us very at home - he showed us the books and vinyl collection and said the space was ours to use during the stay. Our room was comfortable with some very nice toiletries provided plus a welcome tray of tea/coffee and biscuits. Breakfast the following day was cooked by Fi - a wonderful selection to choose from and beautifully cooked! Fi even made up a flask of tea for our onward journey. Our hosts were a pleasure to meet and the accommodation was warm, welcoming and excellent value. 5 stars!
