The room was clean and spacious. Beds were super comfy. I slept like a log and we spent the majority of our time on our beds so the fact that we were comfortable was ideal. Breakfast was filling and freshly cooked. My son had the kippers which made a nice change for him as it's not something usually offered on a breakfast menu. I had the full english as I'm a creature of habit, both of which were just what we needed to set us up for the day and very reasonably priced too. We booked in advance which saved us a couple of pounds but would have happily paid the full price. Christmas day lunch in their sister restaurant was amazing and well worth the price. The staff in both sites were amazing, helpful, polite and courteous.
Sheltered cove, great for SUP. Low tide makes it even better for small children. People on the beach are friendly and are there to have a good time. The beach is kept clean and there is a designated barbecue area if you want to. Loads of parking, and the town has everything you need and want.

Didn't go into Combe Martin apart from to Top Chippy (👍) and co-op (there's an ATM inside the co-op). Beach is not dog friendly at all, so no good for us. Also, reports of sewage outflows into its river, so not very appealing. Family went to Dinosaur theme park on outskirts, which grandson enjoyed. But it's incredibly hilly, no good for older people with bad knees! (Photo of view down into Combe Martin from Dinosaur park, below)
Got the impression that parking can be tricky in Combe Martin at busy times. Apparently We preferred the beautiful sandy beach at Saunton sands, 25 minutes away, good parking close to dog friendly beach, decent cafe, restaurant, loos, surf schools, some rock pools on right hand side for little crabs, warm pools for toddlers. Parking by the hour, unlike Woolacombe, which charges £10 whether you stay for 30 minutes or all day!!
We stayed on a farm on Ridge Hill a few miles away, but don't drive from CM over the hill, you need a machete to hack the bracken and brambles out of your path. Go round the slightly longer way if heading in that direction!
Lynmouth and Linton worth a visit, pretty little harbour town with 500ft cliff lift. Some free parking along front, by lift. Get lift up, then walk down the Poet's zigzag path for wonderful views over the bay and town. Nice coastal drive out of Lynmouth onto Exmoor, look out for ponies, and several parking areas close to coast path and a few easy walks round the headland with views back down towards Lynmouth. Wonderful Rambler's rest cafe at County gate, boundary with Somerset, delicious cream teas on pretty china, (photo below),best scones, friendly doggy and welcoming owners.
Dare to drive across the ford at Oare and gingerly cross Robbers bridge (fully an inch either side of car!), in Lorna Doone valley. (Photo of pretty ford below)

It's not the most picturesque place in Devon as it's an old Silver mining town, but it still has some great features. Beach is fantastic if you like interesting pebbles and rock pools, but also lots of sand and good surf. NB there is no beach when the tide is in! The Pack 'o' Cards pub is really good for an evening meal and one of the few places with good car parking, along with the Co-op, both well away from the beach. Parking is very poor, but if you're staying there then there are some great walks where not many go as there is hardly any car parking!

Unique accommodation and excellent hosts.
Unique accommodation and excellent hosts. Very quiet with sea views. Going to sleep with the sound of the sea was a real treat. Breakfast was lovely. I visited in October and Combe Martin was quite sleepy, but a perfect base for walking the coast path and exploring Exmoor.

Combe Martin is set along a very long High Street with the cove/coast at the bottom where most of the shops are. Not a great deal of choice with the shops - I would imagine at one time Combe Martin was very well serviced with small shops but, like alot of coastal towns now, the smaller independent shops have all closed down. There is a Co-op there. The cove area is quaint and attractive and is where the coastal path starts in both directions. Beautiful scenery from the coastal path.

Combe Martin is a lovely coastal seaside bay.
Combe Martin is a lovely coastal seaside bay. Ideal for families & sea-sporting people. The menu at the pub excellent. Choice of eating inside or out, overlooking the bay & sea. Pets were allowed in or out of restaurant. Proprietors & staff were friendly & pleasant. I would advise that people who have mobility issues should be aware of steep roads to car parks etc. but if you are able Combe Martin is excellent. Lastly Combe Martin is centre of many other seaside areas.
Being a fisherman and being away from home and living a pretty hard life for 2 weeks at a time. Myself and Mrs v really enjoy our weekend breaks together. We have stayed in many a hotel in Devon and Cornwall. The pack o cards is right up at the top. As you can imagine we have been disappointed at some supposedly nice hotels. The staff were all so helpful and extremely friendly. Even the locals were lovely. Ha mind I was local some 30 odd years ago. Fantastic and a big thank you to all for a truly memorable weekend.
Good location, in easy reach of some great beaches like Saunton sands, lovely family very welcoming, dog friendly, comfy beds, nice bathroom with decent sized towels, delicious eggs provided from owner's chickens, fun to feed piggies - grandson loved that, good play field and games room. But go round the slightly longer route to Combe Martin/ dinosaur theme park, that back road up and over the hill is hair-raising and leaves vegetation stuck in your car grill!😅
It's a lovely property right up the street form the beach in Combe Martin. Obligatory bed rating: very comfy, beautifully crisp but soft sheets. Slept like a rock. Michelle was an attentive and helpful host. Nice breakfast, and a well-stocked little honesty bar in the sun room, which was a godsend as very few establishments in town were open off-season (which I'd anticipated).
The facilities, location and house was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and everyone was so friendly and welcoming. We’d love to come back again and stay a little bit longer next time. We really enjoyed visiting Combe Martin and Woolacombe and the property is in such a peaceful location with great amenities. The property was very clean and had everything we needed.
Very friendly owners that are always happy to help. Ideal location for SW Coast Path. Nicely decorated room and comfortable bed. The guest house has a nice bar area where we spent some time in the evening chatting to the owners and other guests. Very good breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back if we travel to Combe Martin again.
Combe Martin is such a beautiful place. After I checked in I went for a hike to Little Hangman, but I hurried back to sit in the window of my room and watch the tide come in before it got dark (5pm in November). It was majestic. And only after the sun went down did I go to take a shower in the wonderful bathroom, bigger than my house.
A gorgeous little find! we needed somewhere to check in before a wedding at sandy cove, and by paying a little more we were able to check it for 11am. The property was spotless and had everything we needed too. It was our first ever bnb stay and we loved it! walking distance to sandy cove hotel was 10/10!
Great apartment, located very close to the seafront. The apartment had everything we needed. The hosts made us feel very welcome, helping take our bags in and our children were delighted with the little surprises left for them. It was a great base to explore the north Devon coast from.
Absolutely great, caravan was clean and comfy, had everything you would need in it. Staff was very friendly. But the Combe Martin and Ilfracombe oh my god what a beautifull place. Shame it was only short stay. Definetely be going back but at least week or two this time.
Loud music, plumbing droned like a foghorn throughout the night no-one around to help, when I complained next day to staff I was told ".Well it is an old building" I left went to Beach hostel in Ilfracombe. And spent 3 great nights there.
The location was superb! Stunning views and access to all the amenities in the area. Loved that we were able to do a lot of walks in close proximity to the accommodation. Loved our stay, and will definitely visit Combe Martin again
An especially nice location for Combe Martin, close to the harbour with adequate parking.. The room faces the street but is very quiet after 2130. Newly furnished and decorated in a cheerful Caribbean seaside theme.
Absolutely amazing hosts and a beautiful house. Will definitely be making a return trip. A little gem to be treasured in North Devon with hearty home cooked breakfast to start the day.
