great short stay in Ilfracombe

Our host Cath was great and answered all our questions and made us feel very welcome. We found parking our car out in the street the easiest for transferring our bags. It was therefore no problem. We had a great breakfast our on the terrace.

Our room did not have much of a view whereas it appeared the others did.

Jeremy and Debbie mini vacation

We arrived very early but as our room was ready we were allowed to settle in so we could spend extra time exploring Ilfracombe.Everything about this lovely place was great from the free cake every day to the breakfast hampers (The breakfasts were gorgeous both days )and the table tennis and pool tables and the honesty bar.

There was nothing to not like. The town is at the bottom of the hill so you will be half dead after a couple of days but you do get used to it eventually but that's just how Ilfracombe is....hilly lol.

Excellent host and guest house, great breakfast and cake served!

The host was fantastic. We really liked the breakfast served and had variety of options to choose from (the delicious complementary cakes baked by the host deserve a special mention!). The rooms was clean. The guest house also has a beautiful garden to sit in. I would recommend staying here if coming to Ilfracombe. Also only a 15 min drive to Woolacombe beach, which is lovely!

I would recommend getting here by car, the public transport options aren't very frequent.

Comfortable,relaxed and lovely service. I would stay again and recommend to friends and family

Well located for access to local shopping and services. Owners were lovely - attentive but not overbearing or intrusive. Tea, coffee and soft drinks provided on tap FOC and the free cake was marvelous.

Nothing really.

We loved our stay and would stay there again. Our host was very pleasant and very helpful.

Breakfast was excellent and there was a good range to choose from

Our room was like an oven due to it being at the top of the house, however, we stayed during a heat wave. It wasn't the fault of the host but it it made sleeping etc very difficulty.

Great stay, fantastic hosts and will be more than happy to come back

Lovely and clean. Great additions in the room for example the coffee machine, fan. The lounge was lovely with tea, coffee and cake. Fantastic hosts, warm and welcoming Had a very peaceful and comfortable nights sleep The changes we had to request for breakfast due to having to work early, were met with no issue at all.

Absolutely nothing was not to like

Lovely.Book restaurants as some close certain days or early

Everything expected and more was available. Spacious & clean room with comfortable bed. Great choice of breakfast delivered to the room. Cathy was about & very helpful. Also makes great cake for afternoon tea. Lyndon, Lynmouth, Woolacombe etc close enough for easy drive or bus. 😁😁

I would suggest parking on the road which was very easy if a nervous driver. I’m sure after your 1st attempt to use the car park it wouldn’t bother too much.

Loved it, wouldn’t hesitate to book here again.

Room was clean and very well furnished with a fridge, a coffee pod machine, fan, table and chairs. Breakfast was excellent, lots of items to choose from and delivered to the room. Lounge well furnished with pool table, table tennis and an x-box. Daily (Free) home made cake was superb.

Lovely holiday accommodation

My partner & I stayed in a lovely garden suite that exceeded our expectations. The comfort of the space was remarkable, making it feel like a true home away from home. Everything we needed for our stay was thoughtfully provided, from kitchen essentials to cozy linens. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the host, Cath. She was incredibly friendly and went out of her way to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Her helpfulness and warm demeanor made a significant difference, making us feel welcome and well taken care of. Overall, I highly recommend this garden suite for anyone looking for a comfortable and accommodating place to stay. The combination of a well-equipped space and a wonderful host makes it a standout choice!

No negatives

Fantastic staff, great place to stay and nothing was too much trouble.

Breakfast served in the room was a very nice treat for people who wanted eat in a quiet room with their own family.

The parking for larger vehicles may be a bit of a challenge for some. The owner was really accommodating and gave me a parking spot just inside the property at the top of the driveway.

Really great breakfast. Comfy beds. Great shower. Great atmosphere. The piece of cake on arrival was a wonderful suprise.

We didn't mind parking outside the property on the road, but some people may do. The drive way down to the main house carpark was too steep for us..

Lovely hotel, lovely staff, would stay again.

Beautiful place, tastefully decorated, the room was spacious and the bed very comfortable and the gardens were stunning. The owner Cath, a lovely lady, came out to meet us and gave us some pointers on restaurants. We took her advice and booked Giovanni & Lucia a lovely Italian in town. The breakfast, served in your room, was substantial and perfectly cooked, would definitely stay again.

Suppose after finding the booking on Booking.com for £80 and then choosing a King sized bed the price increased to £107.00, however Cath did say we could arrive from 12 which we didn’t manage to do as we were wandering around ilfracombe. The walk into town is down hill, about 15 mins, the walk back obviously isn’t as easy

Perfect, Cosy and yummy!

Stunning gardens, great location & immaculately clean. The beds are comfy and the breakfast delivered to our door each morning was incredible! The host is lovely and welcoming & can make a mean chocolate brownie!

The parking can be tricky but nothing a-bit of parallel parking can’t fix!

Felt right at home, a wonderful stay!

A very memorable stay with Cath. From our arrival we were welcomed to a beautiful and well-maintained Epchris house. The room was spacious and comfy. A bar and lounge area even with an Xbox and table tennis and pool, plus who could say no to delicious cake baked daily? (and thank you for kindly letting us peek at the recipe!) Cath was always on hand to provide helpful tips and dinner recommendations and made us feel right at home, even supplying all the room dairy alternatives etc. Breakfasts served in room were delicious and such a treat, and in general Ilfracombe was the perfect base for our day trips west to Clovelly, Croyde and others, and east across Exmoor to Dunster, Lynton and Lynmouth. We enjoyed dinner and strolling through Ilfracombe itself and would definitely return next time we’re in the area. Thank you Cath and team!

Nothing, everything was great!

We loved everything. A beautiful building with a lovely lounge area; a gorgeous terrace overlooking the gardens and our room was perfect with lovely extra touches. Breakfast was delicious, what a choice! and Cath’s homemade granola was superb. The location was perfect for anyone walking the South West coast path and you are just a short walk into town and to the harbour. Don’t hesitate - book it!

Not as good as hoped. But okay for a base.

The shower and other facilities were great. The breakfast service and double choice great. There was also an honesty bar which is nice. The view was also nice.

There was a slight odour and sticky quality as we entered. We had the impression there was a private sun lounge terrace but in reality is was a table opposite 3 other guests in their tables. So the morning isn't as tranquil as hoped for. People have loud voices, smoke and barking dogs which can set you on edge. Also everyone can look straight into you bed and kitchen so you tend to live in darkness with the curtains drawn more than us preferable.

Relaxing stay in an excellent location.

Breakfast was great, loads of choice. Served in your room if required. Rooms were clean. Toiletries were excellent. The little hamper of goodies was much appreciated. Honesty bar was well stocked and the gardens were beautiful.

Bed was a little small for my husband (6ft 3) Everything else was perfect.

10.0 / 10.0

Absolutely superb. Would definitely recommend.

Such a fantastic place. It's pretty much set up to be all self service - so it feels very slick and easy to use. If you want to interact with the owners you can - but there's no obligation to which is lovely. The breakfast arrangements are really effective - fantastic quality food and a really extensive menu. The homemade granola pots are frankly spectacular - one of the best things I've ever eaten for breakfast. The biggest challenge is not eating too much - we actually had to skip lunch one day because we'd had such a fabulous breakfast! The room was very comfortable and well appointed. Great facilities and easy to get extra bits and pieces if you need them. If you're after somewhere that you can genuinely relax and disconnect from the hecticness of daily life this is a perfect location for it. It's an easy walk down into Ilfracombe - it's on a bit of a hill but nothing too steep. If we decide to come back to Ilfracombe we will definitely stay at Epchris House again.

I genuinely can't think of anything to write here. It was as close to perfect as you can get.

I noticed my double (room 2) was much smaller than other double (room 1 ) - not sure if because I was solo or because I had dogs
