We liked Everything! We stayed in seven different accommodations during our road trip and this was by far the best. Piper and Terence are amazing hosts. They are friendly and funny and incredibly welcoming. The house is wonderful, it is designed and decorated with a lot of style. It has a personal touch and a very warm atmosphere. Breakfast was amazing, the table was set with so much love and food was delicious with many options to choose from. The garden behind the house is a piece of heaven. We would have loved to stay a couple of days just for sitting in the different cosy corners they have created.

    The location was within easy access to the central city. The breakfast was amazing - the best Ehglish breakfast we have ever had and the service was excellent. The staff were attentive to every detail and made suggestions for dinner and a seaside road to sea the beaches

    It’s a lovely place very close to the coastal footpath so lots of great walks and stunning scenery. Super welcoming owner and as I was making a first visit to Ilfracombe she went out of her way to provide information . Really nice touches that few places manage like really high quality bedding (better than home!) extra clean and very full breakfast. Parking is easy. (That’s really unusual in small coastal locations) The seaside town of Ilfracombe is really sweet great local shops and cafes. What more could you want!!

    Ocean Backpackers, was as friendly and relaxing to stay in as any seaside hotel. all freshly refurbished rooms and the communal lounge resembles a modern chic cafe. The staff were friendly and accommodating Lydia, Jimmy and Alex are great staff team and make everyone welcome. The whole place was spotlessly clean too.
