We had a fantastic stay at Rocky Cove and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. From the moment we arrived, the host was so welcoming, friendly and laid-back, making us feel completely at home. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble.

The room was spotlessly clean, and we absolutely loved the oval bath in our room - such a lovely touch that made our stay feel a bit more special. The views were beautiful, and the location couldn't have been better. Everything in Ilfracombe was within easy walking distance, making it so easy to explore the harbour, shops and restaurants without needing the car.

Overall, a brilliant place to stay with excellent hospitality, a great location and immaculate rooms. We hope to return for another lovely stay in future!

A beautiful room with a great sized bed and an exceptional bathroom. The bath was definitely a pleasant surprise after a long day’s walk! Great location on the harbour front. The Host Jonah was very pleasant and made sure to greet us and wave us goodbye.

We had a brief overnight stay at The Rocky Cove B&B for our time in Ilfracombe, North Devon. Being an older property, the amenities were adequate for our short stay.

We were lucky enough to find parking at the front of the property but like all places in the UK, if this was not available, would have been challenging.

Our host was very accommodating but be sure to note that even though the property is a B&B, breakfast may not automatically be included in your rate which the host pointed out on arrival.

Room was perfect size for a single overnight stay, host was welcoming, showed me the room which had all the essential amenities (tea/coffee etc).

Was perfectly located in centre of town, close to Tunnels Beaches (wedding venue).

Never felt rushed to check out, and host was kind enough to provide a slightly earlier check-in.

Would recommend

Conveniently located ,my room was clean and modern.
Breakfast was good.
My only gripe was that although it is common with hotel chains for breakfast to be extra, when staying in a Bed & Breakfast I expect Breakfast to be included in the price when booking and not as an extra.
The sign above the door says Bed &Breakfast and that’s what I expect when I book.

Lovely room with a fantastic bath and shower in the bathroom. In the bedroom there is a huge tv which you can move the angle of the screen so that you can view comfortably from either the bed or small sofa, the tv even had a fire stick which we really appreciated. The heating was just right too, not too hot or too cold. Fabulous central location and free on road parking about 10 min walk away. Jonah the owner is lovely and checked we had everything we needed, he even let us check in early.

Quiet, clean, attractive and comfortable B&B

We had a lovely stay - all the information on how to access the property was sent to us in advance. A room with everything needed, and nicely decorated - clean and fresh bathroom with lovely toiletries. Coffee and tea, plus decaf options laid out. A fan (very much welcomed!) was also ready for use. Quiet location, and didn’t hear a peep from other rooms. Would definitely stay again.
I left something behind and the hosts very kindly kept hold of it until my return a few days later, and again sent all the details to be able to access the main door to pick it up in case they weren’t there. Excellent service! I’m only sorry we weren’t there to sample the ice cream and milkshakes on offer!
