We are Amy and Biff, owners of Ashburton Court Guest House, and award-winning hosts who know how to provide great accommodation for your stay in South Devon. We met back in 2003 in Greece, where we were working for Thomas Cook holidays and quickly fell for each other. Wanting to go it alone we created Poseidon Sports together, where we hosted guests at our Greek home, while teaching windsurfing and sailing until 2014. We then moved to the British Virgin Islands, where Biff captained and Amy Chef'd delicious food on luxury private & charter yachts. We won the coveted ‘Best Boat in Show’ award at the BVI Charter Yacht Show multiple times due to our hosting skills. We decided to move to Devon in 2025 to be near our families and were delighted to find our new home at Ashburton Court. Our years of hosting guests both on land and at sea have given us all the knowledge we need to ensure that while visitors arrive as guests, they always leave as friends. Amy is an excellent chef who has trained at various locations, including Ashburton Cookery School and Chef’s Academy. She will be preparing mouth-watering breakfasts made from locally-grown ingredients. Super-host Biff can help you plan your hiking and biking routes and also makes a mean pot of tea. We can’t wait to welcome you to our cosy Devon guest house!
