- "The owner was very helpful and really did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible" - "Excellent bed, charming hosts, and a great breakfast with honeycomb from their own bees. Particularly liked Jodie‘s lovely floral arrangements." - "Lovely location, beautiful house and really helpful host!" - "Our hostess, Jodie, was spectacularly helpful - starting a fire in the lounge for us, taking our shopping and putting it in the fridge and texting us to let us know, wonderful breakfasts. Thanks Jodie. The house is lovely and interesting. The location is perfect for walking as there are a number of options directly from the property. For instance, we walked to Okehampton on the old railway track and caught the bus back. Also some great places to eat as directed by Jodie. Plenty of parking."

- "The grand view of Gidleigh is that it is exceptional in every way, but it is the small things that really make the difference - the thermos jug of chilled water, the juiciest oranges and the most delicious dates in our room, all with a fine plate, knife and linen napkin. The meal of course far exceeded our expectations, every morsel was a sheer delight! My beef was the countryside on a plate and my wife's venison was autumn on a plate. We were completely blown away. Finally, the level of service was the epitome of what could be expected in a country hotel - there when you needed it, helpful and friendly but not obsequious. Staying at Gidleigh is like coming home to your dream home"
