The staff, the room, the breakfast and how quiet it was at night
It was a little bit further out of the centre than we originally thought.
10.0 / 10.0
Very comfortable room, absolutely spotless, the hosts were very friendly, the breakfast offered a great choice and the location was excellent. A lovely two night stay and would recommend without hesitation. Good value for money.
The toilet was in an awkward position on a step but nothing can be done to rectify it.

Nick & Margaret are great hosts. A great full breakfast included in your stay sets you up for the day. Often we didn't need lunch.
The accommodation is a short walk from a bus stop that takes you into Ilfracombe or from the opposite side of the road to Woolacombe bay and Barnstaple.

Absolutely exceptional experience. Staff were super friendly and always seemed to be on-site when needed. Gave great tips on places to visit. The stay felt very personal — staff remembered what room we were staying in and our breakfast/drinks preferences every morning. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
Easy enough walk to the high street, but would recommend travelling by car for ease of access to everywhere else.
