We have just returned from a one night stay at the Sawmills and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the Combe Martin area. Our room was lovely, spotlessly clean and very stylish with a small but very adequate en suite bathroon. Bar and outdoor seating areas also lovely. We weren’t very hungry having eatenearlier whilst we were out and about but did order nachos to share which were delicious and more than enough for the two of us. The bed was honestly the most comfortable hotel bed we have ever slept in and the room was so peaceful, we had a really good nights sleep. In the morning we went down to the bar for our breakfast, again one of the best b&b breakfasts we’ve experienced. All of the staff were lovely, thank you, we will definitely be returning.

Our room was good We did find the en-suite a bit tight the vanity unit was too close to the toilet due to the size of the room we were unable to use the wc properly ? Also we had an issue with the uht milk it appeared to be off when making tea it would not desolve in the cup not pleasant we were surprised the tea making facility was not replenished we had to take our dirty cups to the bar and get fresh cups for the next day and pick up fresh milk and tea bags we felt the b&b should have at least tidied our tea making facility neither was our bin emptied during our 3day stay The breakfast we would say was excellent nice and hot
