We spent Easter weekend at the Great Grubb and really enjoyed it. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet with a truly fabulous shower - great pressure. Breakfast was delicious and the owners and staff very helpful indeed, especially Sheila and Jasmine! What we describe as a genuinely welcoming B&B with impeccable attention to detail. Heartily recommend!

Planning a visit to my oldest friend who lives in a village 3 miles away, I asked her to recommend some accommodation in the area. Travelling to the West Country frequently with two children at school in Somerset we are used to staying in the usual Premier Inn type establishment. After being told by my friend that whilst there were... More

Our initial disappointment at the rather cramped room was offset by the comfortable bed, well equipped bathroom and overall cleanliness. Breakfast was as good as we have had anywhere including 4* hotels. Not cheap given location and room size. overall well done the Grubbs!

If you're into feline gymnastics, then this place isn't for you, but joking aside I wholeheartedly recommend this little B&B. Although small, the rooms have everything you need for your stay. We stayed 5 nights and had no real complaints other than that the room was too hot, so I turned down the radiator. As far as facilities go, there... More

I stayed here for two nights: although I booked a single room it was more like a small double, which was a nice surprise. The room was cosy and welcoming with a lovely modern bathroom and there were some nice touches like the toiletries in the bathroom and the filter coffee/filtered water and chocolates provided in the bedroom. It was... More

We had a super time here. Breakfast was all local food and very friendly welcome. Dog was also made very welcome. Rooms very nice and cosy. Plenty of parking available too. Totnes was also very interesting. We would like to come back again soon.

We stayed here in August 2012 for 2 nights. When booking and speaking to either Dawn or Shirley on the phone, I found one to be more friendlier and helpful than the other. When we arrived at the B&B it was nothing like what the website was like. Our room was a very small double bedroom, with not much room... More

I would like to reply to the comments made by this person. At no time during the stay did they complain about their rooms, even when payment was made.We were not aware that someone was ill until we went to tidy their room on the morning after their first night stay, and cannot believe that this would be due to...

I paid £75 for one night B&B, via a booking agent, and expected more. It's partly my own fault for not checking it out first but I was on a business trip and in a rush. If the owners want to use these sites they need to be aware that expectations will be so much higher. I watched a woman... More
