In a peaceful, secluded valley on the outskirts of Ilfracombe and convenient for Woolacombe, this splendid 18th-century country house is surrounded by gardens, woodland and streams.

In a quiet location, Score Valley Country House is 1 mile (1.6 km) from Ilfracombe; a 5-minute drive or a pleasant 20-minute walk through Bicclescombe Park to the High Street.

Donna and Paul are exceptional hosts. Their service and attention to details were gold standard. They have both been through a trying period of their lives yet their concern for our comfort and enjoyment of the property and facilities were without fault. We can recommend to anyone considering staying at Score Valley Country House to book without hesitation. The property is located in a picture perfect valley and has more than enough parking to accommodate guests.

    Great location, close to shops and easy walk into the town and the sea front. The house was a good size, bedrooms were big and perfect for two families and three children, though you could squeeze more in if needed as there was also a pull out bed and single bed in with bunk beds. Open plan living and dining room offer great social space.

    Great location for the Tunnels as just across the entrance. It's located in a Victorian building with lots of character. Our family room was very comfortable for the 3 of us but think with 4 would have been a bit cosy. (teenagers and adults). Aldi or Lidl located across the way for snacks and the breakfast was great. Staff efficient. managed to park our car out front.

    Great location right on the water. Bed was comfortable with all that was needed for a one night stay Food was good at reasonable price. Staff friendly. Small outside seating area overlooking the bay Public car parks close by and free overnight from 8pm to 8am so overnight stay in hotel car parking cost about £5 outside these hours. There is a very nice small sandy beach just outside the hotel which was used by families with small children as the water was quite shallow.

    The property provided a larger than average space for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 children) the sofa bed was super comfy and the main bed was too - there was no arguments over who was sleeping where! The bathroom and kitchen were brand new with everything we needed. The host even ran to another hotel to get me a safety pin for my wardrobe malfunction so I could get to the wedding on time and secure!! The location was perfect for us as the family wedding was at Tunnels Beaches which was opposite! Just perfect!

    Everything in the apartment was clearly newly done, very clean and tidy, better than expected. Although workers everywhere when we arrived, bed frames, mattresses, rubbish and paint pots outside our apartment for the entire four days we were there, would have been a little dangerous for children. They just need to sort out the construction work to accommodate a more family friendly park.
