We simply adored every minute of our stay in this wonderfully appointed property. From our first greeting to our reluctant goodbyes it offered an oasis of calm and a truly restful and restorative break. The hosts, being seasoned travellers themselves, went above and beyond and clearly understand how to make their guests feel at home. The breakfasts were sublime and the welcome afternoon tea set the tone for a memorable stay in the lovely Devon. We hope to return some day.

Everything

Nothing

This excellent accommodation was the finishing highlight of our 2 week round trip in Cornwall. I am always very involved in the selection of accommodation and have travelled to many countries and experienced a wide variety of accommodation through many years of employment with major international airlines. When I came across the highcliffehouse on the internet, it was very clear that I had to go there. In the end, I planned my entire trip accordingly. The property alone is very majestic, towering over the city and the bay. On arrival, we were immediately greeted in a very friendly manner by Richard and invited to tea and biscuits in one of the very appealing rooms. A pleasant scent hovers in the house, which I also find important and inviting. The furniture is very tastefully chosen, the many paintings are also stunning. Our room left nothing to be desired. The bed was very comfortable, the bed linen fantastic, as was the towelling. Additional amenities were the charging possibilities for mobile devices, the very detailed information on restaurants, excursions, etc. which can be found on the tablet provided and also the possibility to prepare coffee or tea in the room. A lovely ending to our two evenings after a restaurant visit was a pleasant glass of wine either in the drawing room or the bar. I would also like to praise the first-class breakfast served to us by Robert. There is definitely something for any taste. The quality and presentation of the food is outstanding. The atmosphere is relaxed and you really do enjoy your stay. Richard and Robert are exceptionally accommodating hosts. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them once again, give them our wholehearted recommendation and wish them all the best until we meet again. xxxooo Andrea

very welcoming very clean lovely breakfast

the hospitality, the view, the scones, the breakfast, the room, pretty much everything

Everything was spotlessly clean in this beautiful B&B, sitting on top of the world. Breakfast was delish and allowed for customization of breakfast for folks with allergens (wonderful GF pancakes and crumpets). Their gin bar was a really fun addition. Highcliffe is perfectly located amongst Lynton and Lynmouth. You can easily walk into town or take the charming water-powered tram between the two towns. Robert and Richard were stunning hosts are were readily available all times of the day from directions into town to local recommendations. Cheers!

The drive up/parking was a little cumbersome, but I would do it all again to stay in such a beautiful place.

Plenty of choice and plenty of it.

steep road to come there

Super location , decor and all the little 1%ers were to perfection. On arrival the Devonshire tea was delightful not to be outdone by the wonderful Gin bar. Richard and Robert are great hosts and go to any length to ensure your needs are met.

We wished we could have stayed longer

After reading through previous reviews it’s hard not to mirror all the positive comments. Robert and are so accommodating and really cannot do enough for you, They are two very well travelled people and hoping next time to grab a drink with them and hear some of their stories About there travels are maybe gain inspiration as to where we’ll be off next. The breakfast again. Amazing. Spoilt for choice and all fresh local produce which is always tastier it definitely got the day started right! Early evening after a day out they where again very accommodating in the fact we would indulge in a fantastic bottle of Sauvignon Blanc ( Touraine ). It was perfect to sit out on the terrace overlooking the picturesque valley, the bay…….. and In the far distance the Welsh coastline Thank you both for a perfect stay I’ll look forward to seeing your new art collection upon our return Sam & Faye

that we couldn’t stay for longer
