Company information

We run the Bed and Breakfast ourselves so you will always be met by Me (Jayne) or occasionally a family member. I always try my best to make all our guests feel very much at home so they can relax and enjoy their stay. If I can help, I will. I enjoy swimming, walking, reading and LOVE my garden which is a work in progress. I am always open to advice from more experienced guests too. If you’re in luck you may even leave with a cucumber as I am not very good at controlling numbers!

Property information

We have fully renovated our property, which is also our home! Our facilities are modern yet sympathetic to the age of the house. We lie between Ilfracombe and Woolacombe which provides us with the perfect position to explore beautiful North Devon - the award winning beaches and the rugged moors. Buses stop right outside the house, so our guests can leave their cars in our car park if they wish. All our rooms have views over the countryside and many have views to the sea. We also have an outside table tennis table and croquet if you want to relax in the garden.

Neighbourhood information

Guests always love the Woolacombe Beaches or walking around Morte Point where you can spot seals. There are plenty of places to walk and swim within a 5 mile radius. Ilfracombe has plenty to offer everyone as well. There are many good local restaurants and I certainly advise guests on the best places to go.
