The Wheel Loft is an outstanding place to base yourself when visiting South Devon. The accommodation has been superbly restored to a high standard and is a lovely place to relax and unwind. Hosts Lou and Brian were very accommodating and take the time to provide little extras for your stay. I cant recommend the Wheel Loft highly enough plus it is also very easy to move around between towns in the area. The surrounding area is quiet and peaceful but within a short drive you can be back on the main roads to get about. Will definitely visit again!

Confirmed Guest
Very happy with our stay. Accommodation is great but would have been even better with some velux blinds to the roof. I’m sure it wouldn’t bother early risers but I like a holiday lie in and found it too light. Facilities are great. Hosts helpful. The location is great being secluded but just 10 mins from all holiday amenities and most major supermarkets. We had a delivery and it found us without any trouble. The location is ideal for exploring South Devon, nowhere is very far by car and we utilised the railway on a couple of occasions.
