Warm welcome from owners. Very good breakfast. Room was the same as pictured and spotlessly clean. Nice to have parking. We enjoyed the walk to town and back.

The property has garden and quiet street views, and is 35 km from Lundy Island. The property offers allergy-free units and is set 1.1 km from Wildersmouth beach.

We liked Everything! We stayed in seven different accommodations during our road trip and this was by far the best. Piper and Terence are amazing hosts. They are friendly and funny and incredibly welcoming. The house is wonderful, it is designed and decorated with a lot of style. It has a personal touch and a very warm atmosphere. Breakfast was amazing, the table was set with so much love and food was delicious with many options to choose from. The garden behind the house is a piece of heaven. We would have loved to stay a couple of days just for sitting in the different cosy corners they have created.

Wildercombe House offers bed and breakfast accommodation, located in the coastal town of Ilfracombe, North Devon, with sea views, free Wi-Fi throughout and free parking on site.

Wildercombe Houses’s spacious, wooden-floored dining room has views of the Welsh coastline. Breakfast is served each morning and includes full English options, and lighter continental choices, with meals made from local ingredients.

This is one of the most wonderful rooms I have ever rented! The hosts, Ann Marie and Barry, greeted me warmly upon my arrival and were generally available but not intrusive. The room was simply stunning! It was like having my own little apartment set in a historical property but updated with all the modern conveniences. There was a small fridge and kitchen stocked with utensils and even a little dining table. I appreciate that they had milk waiting for me for my morning coffee. Full breakfast cooked to order was included. Bed was so comfy and ahhhh, that soaker tub!! Plenty of outlets and a very nice desk where I could set up my laptop. Separate sitting area/living room. The best part was the attached private patio that meant I didn't have to get dressed and slog outside for a cigarette. Ten out of ten.

    The room was very clean, it wasn't advertised as en ensuite although it was. The staff were friendly, there was lots of choice of breakfast and my order was taken upon check-in. There was plenty of milk and extra tea bags for my room. . It was perfectly located for me right by the SW coast path. It was peaceful and quiet at night. I would stay again if in the area. The fresh fruit salad at breakfast was simply the best I have ever had in a hotel/guest house!

    The property was clean and spacious, in a private location with a lovely view. The property was a short drive to the main part of Ilfracombe and surrounding areas such as Woolacoombe. It was pet friendly at a small charge so we were able to bring our dog, a friendly host and quiet location. Plenty of walks and beautiful scenery, definitely worth the stay and a brilliant price.

Ilfracombe within easy walking distance, Woolacombe just a short drive and a lovely park just up the road is worth a visit. Would definitely book again. Dog friendly.
