Housed in a Georgian Grade II listed building, The Olive Branch is an award-winning AA 4 Star Gold and Michelin listed Guest Accommodation (Bed and Breakfast) in Devon. The picturesque Ilfracombe Harbour is within a 2-minute walk, as is the High Street and Tunnels Beaches.

The room was comfortable and every effort had been made to make it that way (tea, coffee, toiletries...). The staff were lovely, and the breakfast was exceptional.

    Funky apartment with fantastic views of the Harbour. Easy walk into town. Very comfortable bed and very spacious. All modern tech. Everything has been thought off. Went out of season, so not too many places open. Had a lovely meal at the local Italian Giovani and Luca. Lovely seaside resort, Would come back in season to have a proper explore.

    Very easy and quick contact with the owners. Parking is provided, although please note that it is only for one car. Quick and easy collection of keys to the facility. The design of the flat is modern, spacious and sufficiently equipped. The place is cozy and warm. Perfect location, very close to the port, restaurants and shops.

    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,

    It’s a lovely place very close to the coastal footpath so lots of great walks and stunning scenery. Super welcoming owner and as I was making a first visit to Ilfracombe she went out of her way to provide information . Really nice touches that few places manage like really high quality bedding (better than home!) extra clean and very full breakfast. Parking is easy. (That’s really unusual in small coastal locations) The seaside town of Ilfracombe is really sweet great local shops and cafes. What more could you want!!

    This is a special place. It’s stylish and the attention to detail is superb. Terence and Piper are lovely and brilliant hosts, they couldn’t do enough for us. The breakfasts are absolutely delicious. The gardens are gorgeous; it’s lovely to sit outside with a drink as the evening slips away or to wander round and escape the world. We have stayed in many guesthouses and this is the best one we’ve ever stayed at.
