“A 17th century listed cottage situated to the south of Dartmoor National Park. Friendly, comfortable B&B with a beautiful garden. Large rooms with stylish decor - a mix of traditional and contemporary. Two are situated in the converted barn. The perfect place to relax and unwind.”

Hotel Review

Fundamental to a successful B&B is a warm welcome and Julia Blundell from Kilbury Manor was a finalist in the AA’s Friendliest Landlady of the Year awards. She and her husband offer four large rooms and a self-catering cottage. The rooms are comfortably furnished with homely pieces, variously traditional and contemporary. All have bathrooms, though two have only showers. Four acres of their own garden and meadow, the Dart valley all around and Dartmoor National Park just beyond surround the Blundell’s home with peace and beauty. They will do their utmost to share it with their guests.
