A SPECIAL PLACE
The house , setting, owners , food and facilities were all idyllic, nothing was too much trouble for Andrew and Martin.The house was perfect and very tastefully decorated and the setting very tranquil, quiet and so picturesque!! I will definitely be returning especially for Andrew's breakfasts !! Thank you both for the perfect break.
Relaxing Devon getaway
We were warmly welcomed by Andrew and Martin on arrival at their most idyllic part of Devon. The self catering Lodge Barn was immaculate with some lovely homely touches included. We enjoyed aFAB breakfast cooked by Andrew with relaxed conversation every morning with lovely views down to the sea. Great location for Dartmouth and surrounding visitor attractions too. Definitely recommend and we look forward to returning in the future.
Excellentstay
Fantastic stay Dowton lodge is ideally positioned to explore the south hams. Our room was very well appointed a comfortable bed and lovely views over the garden. The breakfast was exceptional exactly as you would want to set you up for your daily adventure exploring the South hams

Great weekend
Excellent self catering accommodation.Great views,very clean and comfortable.Would definitely use again.
Lovely weekend
We were made very welcome by hosts, everywhere was spotless clean, lovely peaceful setting, great breakfast and a good choiceWe got lost on Friday night because of a road closer with guidance from the hosts who guided us to the B&B otherwise we would of never arrived, nothing was to much trouble, hope to go again soon
A great b&b if you like peace and quiet x
I spent a long weekend with my daughter. Andrew and Martin are 2 lovely hosts ,the house is spotlessly clean and decor top spec.The food was perfect, they can't do enough for you ,we would stay there again x
Great again
This was our 3rd visit to Downton Lodge and again it was great. We stayed in the barn this time, which suited our needs as both bedrooms were ensuite giving us the privacy when needed. The living area has everything you can think of including fantastic views of the lovely garden and even as far as the sea. Andrew and Martin were as usual very welcoming and easy to get on with, they know how to run a classy b&b. I can't see this being our last visit. Plus the breakfast is second to none!

Excellent
We just stayed at Downton Lodge for 3 nights and I wish we’d stayed longer. Our time there was fabulous, everywhere was spotlessly clean and so tastefully decorated. Breakfasts were superb and the bed was very comfortable. We’re so pleased we’ve found somewhere special to stay for our return visits to Devon. Thankyou so much Martin and Andrew it was great meeting you both

Out thanks to you, for your positive comments, it was a pleasure to have you stay, and we are pleased you enjoyed.
Lovely, peaceful few days
Lovely place to stay.Andrew gave us a comprehensive tour of the barn on our arrival, showing us all the controls for oven and hob etc, which was really useful.There was plenty of equipment in the kitchen (a little more cupboard space for food storage other than the fridge(which was a good size) maybe useful, but it was fine for us).The complimentary milk was helpful.The bed was comfortable, sheets and towels great.Fabulous location to see the stars.We didn't sample the breakfast as we were self catering, but could see that it was served to others with smiles and banter. We thoroughly enjoyed our few days there.Thank you Andrew and Martin. When we are in the area again would definitely stay here again.
Response
Thanks so much for your great review, so pleased you enjoyed our self catering barn, perhaps we omitted to point out the additional cupboard for food storage next to the glassware cupboard, but it sounds as if it did not hamper your stay, it would be a pleasure to welcome you back at Downton either for self catering or bed and breakfast.
A 5 star experience
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Downton Lodge.The room was very comfortable. Andrew and Martin were perfect hosts and the attention to detail in everything was much appreciated.We enjoyed the perfect decor and breakfast was superb. Shall certainly visit again.

Gem of a last minute find
Andrew and Martin are fabulous hosts ,there home is tastefully decorated,spotlessly clean and stunning.The breakfast on both mornings cooked to order was lovely,fresh produce and plenty of choice.we were made to feel at home as soon as we arrived.Although out of dartmouth off a small country road it certainly is worth the drive to stay in such beautiful surroundings. Would not hesitate to visit again if in the area.Thank you

Faultless
Andrew and Martin were fantastic hosts. The property was immaculately presented. All our rooms were clean with ample space for hanging items of clothing. The bathrooms were well equipped with toiletries. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable coupled with the quiet and idyllic setting meant we all had a great nights sleep. The breakfasts we experienced were amazing. We were offered practically anything and everything and the ingredients were fresh and even homemade with the cooked breakfast being of particular note. Andrew and Martin couldn’t do enough for us and made our stay a memorable one. We shall definitely be staying again and can’t recommend enough.

Outstanding! An oasis of tranquility!
We loved our 3 night stay at Downton Lodge. Andrew and Martin were fantastic hosts and so helpful and friendly. Our room, The Dittisham, was immaculate and beautifully furnished with a balcony and gorgeous view over the beautiful gardens to the fields and sea beyond. We felt so relaxed being in the peaceful countryside, and had everything we could possibly need including a lovely lounge area where we could make tea and coffee at any time and an honesty bar which was above and beyond expectations. We left feeling refreshed and wanting to return as soon as possible! Thank you Andrew and Martin.

Another enjoyable stay at Downton
We can recommend staying at Downton, this was a second visit. Again, we received a warm welcome from Andrew. Our room was comfortable and overlooked the well-tended garden. Breakfast was very nice. Downton is in a good location for enjoying the pleasures of the Dartmouth area.
