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.

Set in Ilfracombe, the hotel is a 10-minute walk to the picturesque harbour, acclaimed Damien Hirst restaurant and the Quay.

Breakfast was excellent, especially the fresh fruit bowl. Staff was very attentive & always prepared to assist, no matter how small the request was. A little inconvenient with the road closure, but beyond the owners control.Top sheets

An adult-only guest house which offers free WiFi access and free parking, The Earlsdale Bed and Breakfast is located within walking distance of Ilfracombe Town Centre and harbour, and the historic Tunnels Beaches.

I highly recommend The Earlsdale Bed and Breakfast! Owners Jim and Lewis’ professionalism, passion, creativity, and attention to detail shined through in everything from the chic design of the B&B, to the vegan and gluten free chocolate that awaited me in my room (custom to my specific dietary restrictions). My room was spacious, luxurious, and comfortable. As an interior designer, I especially appreciated the soothing interior lighting and high end design materials and finishes, all of which came together to blend modern luxury with the unique historical elements of the building. The included breakfast featured a beautifully laid self service station with homemade and locally sourced delicacies. I very much enjoyed the “Full English” that Jim so kindly prepared for me, which accommodated my strict vegan and gluten free diet. I’m confident that my friends who enjoy meat and dairy would have also been very satisfied with the other unassuming, yet elevated hot breakfast offerings. Thank you Jim and Lewis for being such attentive and accommodating hosts! I very much look forward to staying at The Earlsdale again in the future!

    A very clean spacious home - it is home from home. Very well presented and looked after by two very nice gentleman who know exactly how to make you ‘feel at home’ very quickly. Great hosts. And space to park FREE at the property which is rear in Ilfacoombe. Also very close to the centre and very close to the Tunnels Beaches which was excellent for us.
