I was on a LEJOG bike trip and this was a great stop. The owners could not have been more helpful. We turned up on our bikes after over 50 miles in the rain but absolutely no problem getting into the house and room to get changed and get our wet gear dried out. Our bikes were stored safely in the garage and we got eBikes charged up over night no problem. Room was great and breakfast was great!

Everything about our stay was excellent. The accommodation is set in a peaceful location and our room more than met our expectations. Everywhere throughout was spotless and we were well looked after by our hosts. We were provided with an excellent choice of breakfast items and can thoroughly recommend the full English, as would our dog who is now a sausage connoisseur, kindly provided for him. As many other reviews have said in praise of our hosts, we could not have asked for anyone better to have provided us with a lovely place to stay and it felt as though we had been staying with friends rather than strangers.

Leaving, as we had a lovely weekend.

Located in a tiny village, so no noise from traffic or such. Stayed one night in the groundfloor room. Room has a separate sitting area and an outside deck. Large bathroom with shower. Room clean, bed comfortable. Wonderful breakfast with quality ingredients.

There isn't a pub/restaurant/shop in the village. The owner informed us beforehand and gave suggestions where to eat. But still, you need to drive about ten minutes to the nearest restaurant.

From the genuine welcome on arrival to the genuine appreciation of our visit on departure we were unable to fault the accommodation, cleanliness or breakfasts provided by these two professional providers of a British B&B which others would do well to copy. Value for money is something which I think others search for and here you receive it in abundance. Thank you Robert and Nicki.

Towels need replacing - they did not do the job of drying after showers. Think the house may be a little too cold in the winter months.!!

The owners are extremely friendly and they make you feel at home, literally. It really feels like being very welcome guests of theirs. They are always available for any need and very generous with guests. Not to mention their patience and kindness with our late arrival and inaccurate booking. Breakfast service in particular was caring and attentive, and the place reflects their attitude in every way. The location is quiet and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Strongly recommended.

Robert and Nikki are amazing hosts. They made our stay so easy and enjoyable from booking to leaving. Great communication, clear directions and a lovely warm welcome (even though we were very late). Nothing was too much trouble. Peaceful location and fantastic value for money. The ground level room was great for us, ( 3 adults and dog) especially as the large sofa bed was in a different room to the double so gave good privacy. Very clean and comfortable ensuite room with a wonderfully stocked tea tray, TV and direct access to the garden area. Everything you would need. Not forgetting the delicious breakfast cooked to order, perfect eggs and lashing of tea and toast and even a sausage for the dog. Wish we were staying longer and not just passing through. Hoping to return when we have more time. Thank you

I'd booked a few rooms at Stoke House for my bridesmaids as I was getting married in Stoke Rivers over the weekend, and their stay and my own experience was absolutely faultless. The bridesmaids told me how comfortable the rooms were, they looked spotless, and I was lucky enough to experience firsthand the generosity of Nicki and Robert. They were kind enough to let me join my bridesmaids for breakfast on the morning of the wedding, and I couldn't believe how thoughtful they were. Upon my arrival I was greeted by a 'Congratulations' banner and bridal confetti all over the breakfast table to start our celebrations properly! I had a little cry, and all of us were so unbelievably touched by this thoughtful gesture. The breakfast itself was fab, but Nicki and Robert's services was second-to-none. You can tell just how passionate they are about providing a joyful, comfortable, and personalised stay for their guests, and I can truly say I've never experienced service like it. It started my wedding day in the best way possible, and I can't thank them enough for being the most wonderful hosts. If my Grandma didn't live just round the corner I'd absolutely stay myself! But in the meantime I will wholeheartedly recommend Stoke House to any of my friends and family that fancy a Devon getaway! Thank you again Nicki and Robert, hope to see you around the village again soon :)

Robert and Nicki serve a comprehensive breakfast menu consisting of cereals fruit juice, tea or coffee and a hearty full english with a choice of toast. I couldn't fault it. My room was spotlessly clean with a generous supply of tea, coffee and chocolate. The ensuite bathroom, unlike some B&B's had a large modern shower that allows plenty of movement. The double bed was comfortable and I slept like a log.

I was staying as a single resident so may not have had the biggest room. I spent most the evenings in my room where I think a small armchair would have been useful.

Loved that it was in a quiet and very pretty location. Clean. Tidy. Presentable. My room was spot on. Tea/coffee and proper milk given in a flask each day. Even had cappuccino sachets and a bottle of still AND fizzy water. Perfect little additional touch. Shower was LOVELY warm and the bath towels! I've NEVER felt anything so soft! Refreshed daily too which was really kind. Breakfast FAB! Filling for the day ahead. Don't fancy a cooked breakie... Then a selection of cereals and yoghurt and fruit. Amazing watching the birds feed from the feeders attached to the windows whilst eating breakfast. Couple super friendly and very welcoming. This place was REALLY good value. A lovely little find. Highly recommend it for however many nights stays. I would definitely come here again. Thankyou for looking after me.

Can't say there was anything I didn't like tbh. .

What wonderful hosts!! Our room was on the ground floor with its own patio/decking area. Very quite and away from traffic. Our room had what we had hoped for, the second bed being a pull out sofa. Bathroom modern, with a lovely shower. The breakfast in the morning was exceptional, with a great choice!! The Cumberland sausage from a local butcher was big and to die for, and the thick cut back bacon.....wonderful!!

The mini fridge is located in the room with the pull out bed. I had to turn it off as the humming made it difficult for my Son to fall asleep. A minor issue amongst the positives, and would not be an issue for some.
