    comfortable cottage
    phenomenal steak

    Incredibly cozy stay in the adjacent cottage, just steps from the lively pub. Enjoyed phenomenal steak during dinner, definitely coming back for the killer fishcakes next time!

    Felt like a true getaway, no complaints at all.

    Awesome stay with friendly hosts!

    Had a blast! The room was spotless and comfy, really nice vibe throughout. Great beer at the bar, and the food was top-notch. We brought our dog along, and they loved it too! Only wish the Wi-Fi was a bit stronger, but overall, a fab experience!

    friendly service
    tasty food

    i recently stayed at the portsmouth and was pleasantly surprised. the room was clean and comfortable, making it a great retreat after work. the food was fantastic, both at dinner and breakfast, with large portions that really hit the spot. the couple running it were so lovely and added to the charm.

    A Perfect Retreat for Hikers

    What a gem! Enjoyed a cozy cottage stay with our pup. the kids loved the teddy bear on the extra bed. The full English breakfast was a delight, perfect fuel for our Tarka Trail hike. Don’t miss the amazing steak dinner at the on-site restaurant!

    dog friendly
    grumpy landlord
    no coffee maker

    good atmosphere, dog-friendly accommodations, convenient location for hiking

    The coffee maker in the room is noticeably absent!!! The landlord could benefit from a friendlier demeanor for a more welcoming experience!!!
