Three things you need to run a great Bed and Breakfast. 1. A great host. 2. A great bed and room. 3. A great breakfast. This place has all three and is the perfect place for a short stay in Ilfracombe. Definitely recommended.

A beautiful room with a great sized bed and an exceptional bathroom. The bath was definitely a pleasant surprise after a long day’s walk! Great location on the harbour front. The Host Jonah was very pleasant and made sure to greet us and wave us goodbye.

We had a brief overnight stay at The Rocky Cove B&B for our time in Ilfracombe, North Devon. Being an older property, the amenities were adequate for our short stay. We were lucky enough to find parking at the front of the property but like all places in the UK, if this was not available, would have been challenging. Our host was very accommodating but be sure to note that even though the property is a B&B, breakfast may not automatically be included in your rate which the host pointed out on arrival.

Lovely stay

We were only staying for 1 night, arriving late and checked out early but was grateful for the clear instructions and in advance and communication. The room was lovely- it was clean, had tea and coffee facilities and the temperature was great. The location was fantastic.

Lovely room with a fantastic bath and shower in the bathroom. In the bedroom there is a huge tv which you can move the angle of the screen so that you can view comfortably from either the bed or small sofa, the tv even had a fire stick which we really appreciated. The heating was just right too, not too hot or too cold. Fabulous central location and free on road parking about 10 min walk away. Jonah the owner is lovely and checked we had everything we needed, he even let us check in early.

Beautiful room, interaction with owners was polite and minimal and we felt comfortable during our stay, met the owner in person when leaving and she was very lovely. Information of the surrounding area was available in the room which we found really useful. Lovely location and really central. Great choice for food and drink
