Company info

We, the owners, Jo and Darren Jones took over Mount Edgcombe on 3rd August 2023. We both left the corporate life to begin a lifelong desire for Jo to run a B&B, having grown up in one as a child. We love the wide mix of people we meet and our aim is to make your holiday as good as it can be, by going the extra mile to accommodate any special requests wherever we can. Good customer service is imperative and we try to give our guests the best experience with a friendly manner, comfortable rooms and good food.
