LOUISA Westcotts wonderful home cooking, a four poster bed, and friendly dogs that visitors love to "adopt", are just some of the reasons guests enjoy staying at Chipley Farm, Bickington, Newton Abbot, Devon.
Among the satisfied customers recently was an undercover AA judge and the hospitality and professionalism he or she discovered helped place Mrs Westcott (left) as a runner up in the AA Landlady of the Year 2001 award.
Mrs Westcott and her dairy farmer husband, Fred, were among 20 finalists selected from more than 3500 establishments listed in the AA Bed and Breakfast Guide 2001 (price £9.99). Winner of the top accolade was Barbara Litherhand, Hillcrest, Bradford on Avon, Wilts, and joint runner-up was Wendy Anderson, The Old Manse, Colchester, Essex.
