Really enjoyed our short stay at the Devonian would absolutely thoroughly recommend!

Terrance and Piper were excellent friendly hosts, we loved the decor which you could tell they really had spent time and thought adding in their own personal touches, from the map of travels on the wall to the concert tickets in the bar all of which created a really lovely ambience. Breakfasts were also great and offered lots of lovely choices especially for vegetarians. Hosts had great knowledge of the area and offered recommendations from places to eat to places to travel too. Definitely one of the best accommodations we have stayed in thoroughly enjoyed staying and wish them well for the future. 😊

A wonderful 2 night stay for a wedding, with The Devonian making it a joy to be in Ilfracombe.

The Devonian is a delight. Beautifully decorated and furnished. Every comfort catered for. The breakfast menu extensive and top rate. Absolutely sets you up for your day. The host's hospitality was faultless.

To be honest there was nothing that fell short!

would recommend overall

- friendly couple - Nice b&b - Lovely options for breakfast especially for vegetarians and vegans - good location, safe

Time restrictions for breakfast. You have to pick an hour slot the day before I.e 8-9 or 9-10. Can’t just walk in between the breakfast hours like you normally would at hotels small bathroom and sink, especially can't have much movement in the shower - time restrictions for using sauna and hot tub (2-8pm and most people are normally out during that time)

Terrence and Piper are wonderful hosts with a stunning home which they let us share. Had a slight mishap with the bathroom door handle at 22.30 and Piper promptly rocked up and sorted 😂

Fabulous! Wonderful charismatic hotel that is way more than your average B&B. Beautiful place.

Everything! If I could give this hotel an 11 or 12 I would. It's truly exceptional. Run by a warm and engaging couple who deliver an outstanding service despite it being just the two of them. The breakfasts were wonderful and the place is immaculate. Great attention to detail with everything thought through. We loved Ilfracombe for its accessibility to the south coast trail, and the walk to Woolacombe is truly stunning! I would highly recommend this hotel, especially for keen walkers.

Nothing.

The Devonian is a class above the rest

Massively underpriced by at least £50. I stayed in the olive room, it was about 20 metres long, fantatsic room. I met Piper and Terence when i arrived, really lovely hosts. The property has a small car park, when Ilfracombe is busy it is impossible to find a car parking spot so this is ideal. Only took me 5 minutes to walk down the road to the harbour. Ice cold small bottle of milk in fridge by reception, nice touch. Now, the breakfast, wow, 7 tables laid out..tablecloths, bone china, silverware, looked 5 stars like everything else in the property. I had orange juice, strawberrys and blueberrys, cereal, 4 slices of toast with salted caramel spread, then full english breakfast, that included 2 eggs 2 bacon, plate was full, tea and coffee available. Then Terence said, what else do you want....wow amazing. Piper and Terence are willing to spend alot if time with you and they are both a joy to be around, they both spoke to me when i left to make sure i had a good time. I was actually emotional when leaving because i didnt want to leave. Honestly, hand on heart I have stayed in hundreds of b&b's/hotels this was the best one. Keep it up P & T, no pressure.

Location was excellent in a nice quiet area, Terence and Piper were very friendly, helpful and made us feel very welcome. The room was very tastefully decorated and beds were so comfortable enabling us to have a great nights sleep. The choice at breakfast was fantastic and catered very well for all dietary requirements. Would highly recommend and would not hesitate to stay there again.

Dee and H 2 day diving stay

At the start of the booking process, i contacted the Devonian as i wanted to check on some things. Terrence and Piper were very helpful, and on arrival, we were made to feel extremely welcome. They provided an early breakfast for us to make sure i ate before going on my diving trip. They went above their normal routine to provide this for us. The breakfast was excellent. Our room was very clean and welcoming. The whole guest house was clean, tidy, and welcoming. We have already recommended The Devonian to our friends, and we really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely go back sgain. Terrence and Piper are really a lovely couple.

There was nothing that we didn't like.... everything was all good.

If you like the finer things in life this is the place for you.

An outstanding establishment. The attention to detail was amazing, even down to the linen on the breakfast table. A first class B & B there is not a single thing that could be done better. Our room was The Olive suite, fabulously decorated with little extras such as eye masks and luxurious products in the en suite. We had a big TV room to ourselves with a unique and quirky little games room full of games, cards, DVD’s and a great choice of books. The breakfast was outstanding ( we had the full English) we will 100% be visiting again.

Absolutely nothing.
