Wonderful location, utterly peaceful. Beautiful decor, gardens and guest lounge bar. Hosts were friendly but gave us space and freedom to use all the facilities, including the honesty bar. Nothing was too much trouble. Donna was delightful.

Breakfast was lovely. Hosts were friendly, welcoming and very helpful. Beautiful location, secluded but also easy to access other areas. Lovely little extra touches for dogs (towels, mat for bowl, treats and bin for dog waste).
Breakfast was quite early for us- but that's just personal preference!

Friendly host family, characterful property in a lovely setting. Enjoyed the walk down into Ilfracombe.
Very pleasant old property - so much more interesting to me when compared to a chain of motel style rooms.
My shower was clean and fine but relatively low water pressure

Lovely welcome . Water and towels for our two muddy dogs. Honesty board for the bar. Fire laid ready to light. Filling breakfast and excellent local knowledge. Great location with fantastic walk down the valley to ilfracombe.
Bathroom a little cold. Storage heaters on times required adjustments.

A tranquil setting, quiet and relaxing, still close enough to walk into Ilfracombe.
Staff were friendly and efficient, with a superb well presented breakfast to look forward to.
The access road from the A361 down to the B&B was a bit bumpy, but we saw that as part of its rustic charm

This is our 2nd stay and we could not rate this any higher. Donna is so kind and helpful. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. The breakfasts are amazing and the lounge with the 'honesty' bar is fab when you have come back after a day out. Our dog loves it here too 😊🐶
We couldn't find fault with anything. Lovely place to stay and we will be returning in future years.

A beautiful country setting of a truly old property, surrounded by wildlife. Staff attitudes were lovely and breakfast was very god quality, with many choices. A welcoming attitude continued through our v brief one night stay - we could be back!
Only staying one night!!
5.0
Nothing too much trouble for Donna or Paul. We were very stressed due to having one night only to decorate a wedding cake. Donna allocated us a separate room with a table and two chairs so we were undisturbed. They also helped my family with a few other dramas along the way. Could not have been more helpful and kind. Stunning people, stunning breakfast and stunning location. We can not recommend staying here enough...thank you Donna and Paul and I will be back...unlucky for you! 🤣
Everything was perfect
