Great Philham House B&B Bed and Breakfast

Just arrived back from a very relaxing stay at the Philham Parlour Cottage. Everything exceeded our expectations. The location, quality and size of the cottage and the hosts couldn’t have been any better. We will certainly be booking this cottage again.

My mum and I stayed in this lovely Airbnb in Philam while property hunting in Hartland. The b&b is run by Mark and his wife Lorraine. They are very lovely, welcoming hosts who clearly put a lot of attention into the running of their b&b. The rooms themselves are clean and tidy when you arrive, and you have all the necessary items that you may need e. G towels as you would expect. The bathroom is also modern and clean with a very large and easy to use shower. My only suggestion for improvement would be some sort of extractor fan in the bathroom as after a shower it can get very steamy and wet. We had some problems with the Wi-Fi, however they found out the cause of the problem — while there is no signal in the b&b, you do have Wi-Fi and a TV. They now also accept card payments as well as cash and cheque. The breakfast is cooked to order and is wonderful. They have their own free range eggs and the English breakfast is incredibly tasty and has everything you would expect. They also offer a variety of cereals and jam/marmalade — some fruit on offer would be a nice addition. My only suggestion/criticisms would be that we felt slightly time pressured to leave the room early and have breakfast at such an early time when it was actually unnecessary. We were expecting breakfast to be more between the hours of 8-10:30am and be able to leave the room at 11am instead of the slightly earlier times set out.

Peaceful place close to spectacular coastal scenery.

We stayed in the Holiday Cottage and this was furnished to an exceptionally high standard. Our hosts Mark and Lorraine were extremely welcoming. We would recommend a stay here and it is in an excellent area for walking and near the coast. Family members have also stayed in the B&B rooms in the house and were equally impressed with the standard and welcome given.
