Our first stay of our trip was with Maggie Robinson at her property Grendon in Exeter. We were treated to much needed tea and cake on arrival after a long drive from London. Our stay there was fantastic and the hospitality shown to us was exceptional. The property was very comfortable and the breakfast was amazing. Maggie was also very helpful with obtaining for us our next accommodation and easy directions on how to get there.
