Loved this place! Great hospitality, kind knowledgeable owners, super clean rooms that were beautifully decorated, and breakfast was gorgeous. The home couldn't be nicer, parking was a breeze, and Piper and Terence were so welcoming. We could only stay one night but highly recommend if you're passing through please plan a stay here, you won't be disappointed!!!

    A really special guest house, beautifully restored with original features and modern comforts. Lots of thoughtful little additions to make it feel home from home. Although there is no food served in the evening The Devonian does have a nice bar area where you can relax and have a drink. Another bonus is the very large garden with many interesting corners to sit, unfortunately as we only had one night there we didn't have time to enjoy it. The hosts were really friendly and full of advice about the area, they love what they do!

    Great location in centre of Ilfracombe within 5 mins walk of all the popular sights and amenities. Lovely hosts who always had time for a chat and to pass on their local knowledge and I'm sure would've sorted any problems (not that we had any). Very spacious and comfortable room so would definitely recommend.

    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.
