Set on the outskirts of Teignmouth, on the road to Dawlish, this little B&B, only 3 rooms, was a delight. Nothing was too much trouble for Ann and Andy, they had thought of every detail to make our stay as comfortable as possible. “We just want it to be exactly as we would hope to find things if we stayed somewhere”, Ann said when I thanked her. It started with the parking, where the small carpark had lines on the tarmac to mark the 3 parking bays, thus preventing a lazy parker making it tricky for a latecomer to get the car in. The garden was glorious, with a tinkling fountain, lush planting, and three separate sitting-out areas, (so one for each room if you wished), with sweet-smelling roses nearby. Inside the Covid procedures were clear and efficient. The breakfast room had well-separated tables, and the timings were staggered to ensure no crowds anyway. Our room was not large, but perfectly adequate in size with a bedside table on each side of the comfortable bed, which had good quality bedlinen. It was extremely well equipped, with a little sofa at the foot of the bed, a tower fan for warm nights, kettle and real cups and saucers, even a little fridge with water, soft drinks, and a bottle of real milk for the tea or coffee. Oh, home-made cookies for us too. Delicious! The only negative seemed to be that the socket for me to charge my phone and tablet was inconveniently placed, until my OH pointed out that there was, on the bedside table, a charging dock for 4 devices. Perfect! The bathroom was quite spacious, with nice toiletries (with the name “Minadab” on them, a lovely touch) and very good-sized towels. Don’t you just hate it when the towels are a miserly size! It had a quiet extractor, and also a can of air-freshener spray. The equipment was modern, the tiles too, and everything here and elsewhere was spotless. Breakfast was ordered the night before from a menu with a lot of choices. We went out early, 7.30, for a lovely walk along the lanes and down along the seawall. The Minadab is well sited for walking, in the afternoon we went down the Eastcliff walk to Teignmouth. We returned for our 9 a.m. booked breakfast time. The drinks came immediately, the cooked food, clearly freshly cooked, about 5 or 6 minutes later. It was all delicious, with good quality ingredients. The napkins were real material ones, not paper, and both the marmalade and the raspberry jam were homemade. This is highly recommended.…
