Norbury House Stylish Accommodation

Freshly cooked breakfast was superb. Adam and Paula are excellent hosts ,welcoming us into their beautiful house and knowledgable about the local area with recommendations for things to do and places to eat and drink. Our room was spacious and well equipped.

We had the top floor room and as a consequence the water pressure for the shower was a little low . Other than that everything was superb.

Accommodation was excellent. Very clean and comfortable, hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was cooked to order with excellent local produce. The views from the property were spectacular. Convenient distance from the town centre to be able to walk.

Drive and car park were a bit tight. There was no handle on the inside of the bathroom door which made closing it problematic.

Lovely property and very friendly couple proprietors.

All good.

Nice high ceilings, nice spacious family room. Lovely reception and conservatory.

Nothing

Okay

No wardrobe no hot water winter duvet banged head on shelf over sink no door handle in bathroom light pull not clean difficult driveway

We’ve just returned from the most wonderful stay at this boujee, quirky gem of a B&B in Ilfracombe, and already can’t wait to go back. The house itself is full of charm and character, with a peaceful, quiet atmosphere that makes it perfect for a relaxing getaway. One of our favourite features was the beautiful back garden – from there, you head up and out through a lovely wooded area, which leads you straight onto the stunning coastal paths with gorgeous sea views. It felt like our own little secret route to the cliffs! Our family room was spacious, with plenty of storage, and the beds were incredibly comfortable – we all slept so well. (The PlayStation was a bonus for the kids when winding down in the evenings). It had a modern ensuite with a shower, but there was also access to a shared bathroom with a bath, which was perfect for the kids to have a relaxing soak in the evenings. The location is ideal: peaceful, yet just a short walk into the town, where you’ll find lovely tea rooms, shops, an arcade and even options for boat cruises and other coastal adventures. What really made our stay so special were the hosts, Adam and Paula. They were absolutely lovely – so welcoming, knowledgeable, and happy to recommend the best local spots to eat, visit, and explore. Their warmth and friendliness made it feel like we were staying with family. The kids especially loved meeting Brisket the dog! Breakfasts were a real highlight: freshly cooked each morning using delicious locally sourced ingredients, and made exactly to your liking. It was far beyond what you’d expect from a typical B&B – truly five-star quality. There were also some lovely extras that made all the difference – easy parking, access to a cosy lounge and games room, and just a general sense of being truly looked after. It’s the kind of place that makes you appreciate the personal touches and warmth you simply don’t get with chain hotels. Highly, highly recommended – a memorable stay in every way.

There’s absolutely nothing not to like, it’s a fantastic place to stay and I highly recommend it, hope to come back again with my family again soon

The house is a gem, furnished with a lot of love for details. The breakfast is outstanding. Adam is a very attentive host. We‘d definitely come back!

A lovely Victorian property.Well maintained and friendly staff.Nothing was too much trouble.

It’s situated on a hillside which we didn’t know when booking.So it’s not suitable for people with walking difficulties.The parking is a bit tight especially when other people take up too much space.This happened with 2 seperate vehicles.One of which made it impossible to turn the car around and it’s very difficult to reverse up or down the drive as it’s very steep.

The bed was very comfortable (always important for us) and the room was very spacious (booked room 5)

Nothing it was all very good.

Lovely peps Lovely place

Looking a little Tired

The breckfast was very nice freshly prepared good choice. Room was nice size. Paula Adam were really helpful very relaxed

Nothing

Superb room with an amazing views across Ilfracombe and the sea. Lots of character. Lovely large comfy bed.

The ambience, location and comfort . The bedroom was an excellent size, well equipped, well ventilated with an outstanding bed. Excellent cooked breakfast to order. Adam and Paula are perfect hosts, and Geraldine a pleasure to meet. Great night's sleep and great advice on the area. Felt immediately at home.

Nothing about the accommodation, but the steep drive and tight parking are a bit daunting.

Excellent breakfast and friendly staff!

A bit hilly but coped!

Excellent breakfast. Good location for exploring surrounding coastal resorts.

Didn’t realise it was so hilly - able to cope with it.

Amazing breakfast! Paula and Adam are the best hosts I’ve come across. Friendly, knowledgeable, trying to make your stay as good as possible without being overbearing in any way. One of the best places we’ve ever stayed at.

Not much to say here.

We stayed for 2 nights in the family room. The staff was very friendly and helpful, breakfast was made by the owner and was wonderful. Nice artsy rooms and the hotel all in all was very beautiful and designed with love. We would love to come back.

Lovely breakfast Room was quiet even though we were on the road Paula and Adam are Lovely people, made us very welcome

There was nothing we didn't like

Very light and airy Victorian house of generous proportions. I love the couples stylish theme which adds a pop of colour. We love older, character rich homes and this didn’t disappoint. In our room, I didn’t wish to watch the tv but just to look out at the fabulous views of Ilfracombe. Great cooked breakfast choices or fresh fruit, yoghurt and muesli if you prefer, or both!

Paula and Adam made us feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble, spotlessly clean throughout, more than happy to provide information on the local area and gave us an excellent recommendation for a place to eat. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

The hotel is a beautiful listed building with views to the sea, depending on which room.Excellent breakfast. Very welcoming and friendly hosts with lots of useful local information. Parking onsite may be a problem for a large vehicle but there is plenty of on street parking as the hotel is on the edge of town.

It's quite a way out of town on a long hill so either be fit or get a taxi!

We loved the warm and friendly welcome, the bright and quirky decor and the sound of the birds chirping as our room backed into the trees. We were both gluten free and easily catered for breakfast which was yummy!

Nothing, apart from next time we’d love to visit when we are not working so we can enjoy some coastal walks which you can access directly from the property.

The owners were great . The breakfast was fantastic . The proximity to the coastal path was perfect for us. Easily accessible to and from other areas of north Devon. Bed was large and comfortable. Nice to have bottled water in the room .

The onsite parking was tight to negotiate. There was no storage for clothing in the room other than a few hangers on hooks. The shower could have been a bit better.

Breakfast well cooked.

Bed alittle hard. T.v lost signal and froze.

Character building. Lovely breakfast. Warm and welcoming host who gave us tips on places to visit in the local area.

The car park is a little tricky to park in given it’s on a hill and we arrived in the pouring rain. But the host helped us out with this.

Adam is an excellent host, lovely house beautifully decorated, perfect breakfast. Very comfy bed in a large bedroom (rm5 - we can recommend it) . Nice living room. The whole property is very spacious with well-thought out decor. We loved it.

No. Can't think of anything other than the steep driveway).

Food was amazing , hosts were very welcoming nothing to much trouble .

The location. Council needs to do the streets .lots of weeding . Shame about beach and tunnels being closed

Paula and Adam were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent cooked breakfast with healthy options and foods sourced from local area. Highly recommend this place and will certainly be back again!

The car park is small but there is plenty of parking on the roaf

The B&B was ideally located, with superb views and a close walk to the harbour and centre. There is plenty of parking onsite. We stayed in room 8, which was very peaceful, quiet and roomy. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, using the best ingredients! The highlight about this fantastic B&B though has to be the hosts, who simply are the best hosts we have ever had in any of the many B&Bs we have stayed in. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They were polite, knowledgeable, very amiable and a complete delight to be with. They were so welcoming and we were thoroughly spoilt.

Everything was excellent and we were completely happy with every aspect of our stay.

Very good location about 15 minute walk from the centre. Paula and Adam were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area telling us places to visit . Breakfast was excellent.The room was stunning and had a lovely sea view.

Everything was lovely no negatives

lovely building in a great location for the coastal walk path and the tunnel beaches. 15 minute walk down to the town/harbour. we had a large room with en suite and we were well looked after by our hosts.

nothing - if you struggle to park there is plenty of free parking in the road out the front
