Lovely property ideally located in Coome Martin. Very quiet and peaceful. Lovely gardens with outside pool. Dave and his wife are very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are delicious and nothing is too much trouble. We had a great time staying there and is an ideal base to explore Devon! Parking is a little tricky on a bit of an upslope but there are plenty of spaces available. We will be back again when in Devon.
Excellent service, very clean and comfortable room. Friendly staff , very nice breakfast. Would definitely stay again, thank you.

A very good traditional B&B
The hotel is a well run traditional U.K. Seaside B&B.
Everything was very clean and well maintained.
The owners were very friendly and helpful.
Provided your expectations are reasonable, Saffron House represents very good value for money.

This Hotel is a hidden gem off the high street with beautiful gardens & terrace and the option of a small heated pool to enjoy! The Hotel is clean & fresh with very comfortable beds in a fairly good size family room for three. Breakfast was fabulous & the hosts were happy to offer packed lunches and pizzas, with a selection of cold drinks from the bar. The hosts were so lovely, kind & helpful & made our stay there very welcoming.

Great breakfast, parking fine outside , a little steep the hill, good location , walkable to beach. Room quite dated as well as bathroom. Water pressure issues as well as temperature stability issue in the shower. Vary difficult to wash children with water charging from boiling too ice cold within secondo.

Die Gastgeber waren freundlich, das ganze Haus ist in die Jahre gekommen. Im Badezimmer waren die sanitären Anlagen überholungsbedürftig, die Dusche funktionierte nur wenn man sie durch Ziehen an einer Kordel einschaltete (was wir nicht wussten, und dadurch wir die Dusche nicht benutzen konnten) ein schriftlicher Hinweis im Bad wäre sinnvoll. Das Toilettenpapier hing hinter einem, so dass man sich verrenken musste um daran zu kommen. Das Frühstück war gut.

Great little hotel
I stayed at the Saffron as I was attending a friends wedding at The Arches wedding venue. This hotel was a great location as only a 10 min walk to the venue, beach & shops. I didn’t venture outside the village. There are loads of places & other beaches near by to venture out to, so this hotel is an ideal base.
My room was very clean & airy with a great view. The owners were lovely & welcoming. Breakfast was great & they had a good choice of fruit/cereals or cooked breakfast to order.
I would highly recommend The Saffron Hotel.
