Even on a fristy frosty morning in January Parford Well was warm and welcoming.
Tim the owner had some mince pies (excellent pastry)
warming to go with the fresh coffee.

In the days when I used to run the Chagford Tourist Information Centre this bed and breakfast was always high

on my list of recommends. People would drop in after a night at Parford to tell us how what a lovely place we had
sent them to, and what a great breakfast they had enjoyed. I have seen the table laid for breakfast, and yes I was

impressed. Quality cutlery and china and good food. A definite cut above the rest. The country garden is also
in 'the fab league'. With 3 letting rooms, 2 en-suite and one with a private bathroom. The two rooms at the front

of the house look out to the River Teign, and some of the best walking that Devon has to offer. If you do nothing
else, then I recommend a walk down the far side of the river, downstream to the utterly beautiful Fingle Bridge.

If you don't want to drive after your evening meal then the worthy Sandy Park Inn is an easy 2 minute toddle
around the corner, and charming Chagford is an easy 10 minutes drive away.
It really is an elegant house, with masses of attention to detail.I love recommending Tim's to foreign visitors as
it's such a wonderfully English place to stay. Come home from your day's sightseeing and you just know that Tim

with impeccable good manners will ask you all about it. Years ago I listed it in Chagford's accommodation
leaflet as ' a muffins for tea kind of place'. I thought that then and I still think it now.
It's the perfect place to
stay for visitors
to Castle Drogo which is a short drive away. And because of the high number of good National
Trust properties in this area, I suggest that this would make a very good base for a whole week of looking at the
open gardens and historic buildings that you will find here. Exeter is about half an hour in the car, along the
A30 dual carriageway.
