Besides the freshly cooked breakfast, Cairn house also have the cereal, fruit and yoghurts available. We're so grateful to have been upgraded to a better room that had a beautiful bay window overlooking the front of the house, with views of ilfracombe and distant sea views. The room was very spacious and obviously comfortable, as well as the bathroom.

    We stayed for Three nights at the Rocky Cove, fantastic service from Nicki and Jonah, they are great hosts with lots of ideas of places to eat out and about. The breakfast is very good and certainly sets you up for the day. Great location with lots of parking close by. Room was great , very well decorated and very clean too. Ask for a low floor room in your knees are not that good.

    The location is beautiful, quiet although as one window is accessible to the public we did see someone peer in. The Manor was very quiet when we stayed however in peak holiday times this could be an issue? The bedroom was a lovely size & the bed very comfy with lovely bedding, we slept very well & didn't hear any ghostly footsteps 👍. Plenty of hot water, the shower was great and heating available when needed. Nice enclosed space for our dog & private parking just outside the gates.
