Snaptrip says

The Beehive in Exeter, Devon, is a well-received cottage with guests praising its cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and lovely garden. The friendly and approachable owners, Andy and Lucy, are commended for their hospitality. The private garden and hot tub are particular highlights, alongside the property's quiet location and secure parking. While there is a mention of a less-than-perfect cleaning in one instance, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with guests eager to return.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Most guests found The Beehive to be clean and well-maintained, with only one guest noting the bathroom could have been cleaner, which they addressed themselves. The overall impression remains positive regarding cleanliness.

There is not enough information to accurately score the location as the reviews do not provide specific details about the surrounding area or its convenience.

Guests have found the beds comfortable and the overall stay relaxing. One guest mentioned the double bed being small, but this did not detract significantly from the overall comfort of the property.

The facilities, including a private and secure garden, hot tub, and fireplace, are well-received. However, one guest suggested improvements such as a larger bed and better bedding for the summer season.

While the hosts are described as attentive and thoughtful, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would fall under this category. Therefore, it cannot be scored, and guests should note that such amenities are not guaranteed.

    The location worked very well for us and our dog, with walks right by the doorstep. The hottub and log burners are great additions, and the owners made sure we felt welcome.

  • Wendy

    Andy and Lucy are fantastic hosts. Nothing was too much for them. The hot tub is fantastic especially at night. We will definitely come back.

  • Raymond

    Wonderfully attentive hosts. Outdoor hot tub a plus.
