With stunning contemporary décor, the rooms complement the beautiful building. Each en suite room includes a flat-screen Freeview TV, a well-stocked mini bar, and a refreshment tray with a snack basket, bottled water, and fresh milk.

The location was perfect, the Earlsdale was very clean and beautifully decorated. The breakfasts were amazing and all the extra little touches were very much appreciated (homemade cookies in the bedrooms, honesty bar in the lounge and in the bedrooms). The hosts went above and beyond with their hospitality. We didn’t want to leave.

    Well positioned between Ilfracombe town, Woolacombe and a range of stunning beaches. The property has been beautifully decorated by James and Lewis, the proprietors, giving it a boutique feel. A stocked fridge, good tea and coffee making facilities, made my stay all the more enjoyable. There is a stunning garden to the rear for residents to enjoy on those beautiful sunny days and a fully stocked bar with seating downstairs where residents help themselves and pay on an honesty basis, a lovely touch,

    Stunning attention to detail, the rooms were designed and laid out with such care. The gardens and added rooms were so beautiful we only wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy it all.

    Lovely, clean and comfortable room with quirky and stylish decor. Gorgeous view. Fridge in the room was a bonus. We ordered the breakfast at an extra cost and it was a lovely treat with a good selection of items. Had no contact with staff but they answered my questions before we arrived and we had no problems.

    Stunning rooms, comfortable beds, spacious and well designed. 4 of us stayed in the 2 rooms, both equally stylish and quality. Great location, easy walk to town. Beaches were beautiful. Breakfast was 10/10 quality ingredients and good choice of fruit, yoghurt, toast and cooked breakfasts. Amazing hosts who left cookies in the bedroom, gave us fresh milk each day to make a cuppa. Cannot fault this b&b one of the nicest places I have stayed! I highly recommend!!

    Beautiful guest house renovated to a high standard in a great location. A short walk into the town and harbour. Our room was perfect and the attention to detail was appreciated. We stayed in the Deluxe King which was spacious and tastefully furnished. This guest house is like a boutique hotel with two lovely hosts who ensure you want for nothing. Breakfasts were amazing especially the eggs Benedict! 10/10.

    Lovely and clean apartment in a very central location. Perfect for exploring Ilfracombe and the beautiful coastline. The view from the balcony is simply stunning and we enjoyed gorgeous sunsets every night! The apartment had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. We absolutely loved it!

    The room was lovely and had lots of nich touches such as a proper coffee machine, large mugs instead of silly little teacups, a make-up mirror on one of the bedside cabinets and little extras such as designer toiletries which you would expect in a four star hotel but for a b&b was a lovely bonus. Superb breakfast and they were able to cope with my dairy intolerance without a fuss. We would definitely stay again on our way to and from Lundy Island, it's an ideal location.
