    A Charming Stay with Great Breakfast Options!

    A delightful experience! The vibrant decor added character, and breakfast was a highlight—especially the well-cooked full English. The staff were friendly, making us feel at home. For convenience, request breakfast in advance if you have an early departure. We'll definitely return to relive the memories!

    excellent breakfast
    limited parking

    great view but limited parking options

    Our room featured a stunning sea view that made every morning special. The breakfast had a wonderful selection, with fresh fruit and quality cooked options catered to different tastes.

    Parking was somewhat difficult to find during our stay.

    lovely room
    excellent food
    macerator noise

    I had a great stay with a lovely room and excellent decor. The food was standout, especially the full English breakfast. The macerator noise was a bit annoying, but overall, I’d recommend it!

    clean family room
    friendly owners
    limited breakfast hours

    We enjoyed our stay with plenty of room for our family of five. The hotel was clean and quiet, allowing us to relax after exploring the beautiful beaches of Woolacombe, perfect for kite flying and swimming. The owners were friendly and helpful.

    My kids wished breakfast was available earlier for our day trips.

    friendly service
    excellent food

    Perfect for a quiet retreat

    We had an excellent view from our room and the breakfast was more than just good, it was top-notch and very filling. Lorrinda was very friendly and made everything easy, a pleasure to interact with her

    It wasn't cheap but you get what you pay for and it was still acceptable.

    cheerful staff
    easy access

    conveniently close to charming parks and local landmarks

    During my stay, I loved the cheerful staff and how easy it was to explore the nearby Ilfracombe Museum, just over a kilometer away, as well as the scenic Larkstone Family Park & Gardens, which were perfect for relaxing walks. the only downside was the tight entrance to the hotel, making parking a bit tricky.

    classic charm
    comfy beds
    fantastic meal
    noisy macerator
    payment request

    I liked the spaciousness of the old hotel. The decor had a classic charm. The beds were comfy with great bedding. Breakfast was a highlight. a young chef served up a fantastic meal. The owners, Paul and Lorinda, were genuinely friendly and helpful. Parking was convenient but a bit tricky for larger vehicles. On check-in, they asked for payment in advance, which felt unusual. The toilet in my room had a noisy macerator that needed attention. staying here was enjoyable, but the minor inconveniences did stand out.

    warm welcome
    mountain view
    buzzing fridge
    dogs in dining room

    The smoked guinea fowl was a culinary delight, paired fantastically with local produce. Plus, the warm welcome from Paul and Lorinda made our stay feel like home. Oh, and that view of the mountains from room 7—absolutely stunning!

    Had a rough night with a fridge buzzing like a bee and even dogs dining in the room—talk about an unusual experience!
