Guest Reviews

• Antonio (10/5): - Beautiful room in an excellent location. Extremely comfortable and we slept like logs! Host was warm, friendly and informative. Nothing.
• Barbara (8/5): - Jonah was an excellent host- he runs everything himself! I thought breakfast was included in the price-itis not.
• Isabel (10/5): -
• KIM (8/5): I would recimmm - Cosy clean quiet and comfortable. Good location and very organised and welcoming host. Really appreciated parking info ahead of time.
• Katherine (9/5): - Lovely room and bathroom. Fab location and friendly host. Steep steps up to the front of the accommodation are difficult if you've got a large case. Not biscuits but plenty of tea ☺️
• Paige (9/5): Comfortable stay at Rocky Cove. Great location and Jonah was a great host, very informative and a friendly guy. - Great seafront location, close to amenties and very hospitable host.
• Janie (9/5): -
• simon (10/5): Great place - highly recommended - Great location and clean - superb breakfast freshly cooked. Jonah was a great host, easy to talk to and also very helpful (especially with our bikes). Great place to start the Devon C2C Nothing
• Paul (10/5): Excellent in all respects - Friendly and helpful owner Nothing
• Michelle (10/5): Excellent. Jonas was friendly and welcoming. Wonderful breakfast! - Spacious and comfortable. Lovely big bath in the bedroom. Very comfy bed and bedding. Nothing
• Els (9/5): Perfect logies - Alles. We mochten zonder problemen al op 11:30 op de kamer. We hadden er weliswaar op voorhand al een berichtje voor gestuurd. Vriendelijke ontvangst. De man runt de B&B helemaal alleen, maar is duidelijk goed georganiseerd. Goede grootte van kamer. Praktisch ingericht. Goede douche. Goed bed. Ontbijt: zeer goed 12,50GBP p.p. Je bestelt wat je maar wil. Omdat we geen full English breakfast namen, moesten we maar 10 GBP p.p. betalen. Prijs-kwaliteit: zeer goed.  Niets.
• Amy (10/5): -
• Lindsay (10/5): Perfect property for a stay in Ilfracombe. Clean, comfy with friendly host who wants you to enjoy. - Perfect location right on the front, close to restaurants and easy walking to the harbour. Our room was large, clean and with the most amazing bath. Jonah was a first class host and chef, breakfast was fabulous and even accommodated me with vegetarian sausages. A lot of effort is put into this property and I can highly recommend. We will be back soon to try to reach Lundy Island (ferry was cancelled due to high wind) but the coast path walk to Woolacombe and Croyde was fabulous ☺️
• Klenk (10/5): -
• Bethan (10/5): - We really enjoyed our stay at Rocky Cove. Jonah was a wonderful host, really friendly, helpful and with lots of local knowledge and tips! Great location in the centre of Ilfracombe but nice and quiet. Tasty breakfast too which is £12.50pp. Thanks so much Jonah, we would recommend this bnb to anyone visiting Ilfracombe :)

• Judith (9/5): -
• Guest (8/5): -
• Johanna (9/5): Excellent B&B. If you’re looking for a B&B, I’d recommend this one - Very clean and comfortable, well kept with good quality furnishings. Very good breakfast (charged separately). Great location. Jonah is incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and a very pleasant host.
• Julie (10/5): - Jonah was an excellent host, helpful, and friendly. He recommended some fabulous restaurants. The room was large and very comfy. There is plenty tea and coffee in the room. The whole place was spotlessly clean.
• Guest (8/5): -
• Roger (8/5): -
• Gary (10/5): - We couldn't have picked a better place in terms of location, or a better host than Jonah, who has clearly taken great pride in presenting such a wonderful place to stay. His information regarding parking leading up to our visit was valuable, his cooked breakfast ( at an additional cost) is worth every cent. Nothing at all.
• Ian (10/5): -
• jeremy (10/5): Fantastic service, comfy bed and great place to stay after long walk on SW coast path - After a long walk this place was a real haven - the owner was very friendly and informative about all the local restaurants and facilities. The room was very comfortable with a fabulous bathroom. No complaints at all
• Tracy (10/5): - Good communication prior to arrival Comfortable bed Great location Friendly and informative host Thank you for a perfect stay
• Preval (10/5): Excellent - The property was in a perfect location The rooms were spotless and clean the room had everything you needed The breakfast was lovely and the host Jonah Was so helpful nothing was too much trouble we would highly recommend staying here There was nothing we didn't like
• Sasha (10/5): -
• Laura (9/5): A beautiful stay for my family, the room was the right size for us as a family. - Very roomy. Nice and clean
• Louise (10/5): -
• Reece (9/5): - The property is really well situated in the centre of Ilfracombe with everything in the village easily walkable. The room we stayed in was a good size and very clean. The guidance with parking prior to the stay and the hospitality from the hosts was excellent and could not be faulted.
• Steven (10/5): -
• Paul (10/5): Great location, great breakfast, friendly, clean & tidy. Perfect - Great location, very clean and tidy. Excellent breakfast - especially the sausages!! Friendly hosts What’s not to like?
• Simon (10/5): - Excellent location. Located right in the middle of the town. Room was well decorated, shower was great. Tea making facilities were on point. Parking was a hassle but this was clearly explained by the owners beforehand.
• David (9/5): -
• Janne (5/5): -
• matthew (9/5): Nice comfortable hotel in a great location for us to explore the town and surrounding areas - Great location for our stay Nothing
• Emily (10/5): Absolutely wonderful stay! Highly recommend! - We loved our brief stay at Rocky cove B&B. Everything was lovely, comfortable, spotless. Hosts were so friendly and welcoming. Sweet, convenient area with the oceanfront Space to explore next door and many good restaurants. We only wish we could have stayed longer and spent more time Nothing
• Robin (9/5): - Great hosts, enormous breakfast, good location.
• Gaetano (8/5): - Shower was lovely, and complimentary toiletries were very nice. All rooms very clean Bed could have been bigger, for the space available in the room. No herbal teas or water on offer (personal preferences)
• David (9/5): Clean, comfortable, great breakfast - Excellent Breakfast, clean , comfy room. Warm welcome
• Cristina (10/5): Beautiful comfy place - The host was super helpful and accomodating Just some stairs and I have bad knees
• Clare (9/5): Clean, lovely room very comfy and a helpful friendly host - Lovely room, clean, comfortable and friendly helpful host Quite steep steps outside but host will help with bags
• Nigel (10/5): Perfect break with welcoming proprietors -
• Alice (9/5): Great stay at a comfortable b+b, great location and value for money - Our room was clean and comfortable, Jonah was an attentive host ready to help and always asked if we need anything. Breakfast was lovely full fry up and continental additions. The location is very central on the seafront close to many cafes and restaurants. Nothing to dislike
• Dave (10/5): Due to steps at the front of the building and the stairs inside we couldn’t stay there again but for able bodied persons - The room was great We were on the top floor and my wife has to use a walking stick so that was a problem. We were there for a couple of days but she managed with difficulty.
• Essie (10/5): A place keeps on giving - Great location, very clean and spacious room, delicious and generous breakfast, great communication Can’t really think of any
• Bernard (9/5): Een warme, gezellige en comfortabele plek in een rauwe arbeidersstad aan de kust. - De uitstekende communicatie vooraf en tijdens ons verblijf maakte het verschil. Jonah dacht met ons mee, trakteerde ons desgevraagd op tips voor eten en drinken en hielp ons ook nog aan een rit terug naar ons eerste hotel. En dat was heel welkom in de herfst zonder busvervoer. Rocky Cove ligt op een heerlijke plek aan de kust en onze kamer met douche was helemaal prima. Nothing fancy, maar (h)eerlijk thuiskomen na een dag wandelen. Het uitzicht vanuit de kamer is wat rommelig. Je kijkt helaas net tegen de dijk aan. Maar, als je uitzicht wilt kun je op slechts 100 meter afstand je hart ophalen.
• vickie (9/5): Perfect locaion and apartment for a couple of days away with my Mum. We hope to be back soon - The location is excellent and the apartment was very comfortable and clean. Our hosts were super friendly and helpful The sink in the bathroom is small and a bit awkward to use
• Henry (8/5): - Really friendly host. Great recommendation for dinner. A great place to stay, especially if you are getting the ferry to Lundy. Probably only the stairs, but it's a B&B so that's normal, and our friendly host offered to carry all the bags up them.
• Greet De Saegher (9/5): - Supervriendelijke ontvangst. Kleine maar sfeervolle kamer. Parkeren voor de deur, maar daar was klein beetje geluk bij. Erg kleine badkamer
• Ethan (7/5): Decent stay in a great location - Clean, great location and friendly staff Room a bit small, would benefit from a mini fridge. Can hear next door room and upstairs room, especially the upstairs plumbing. I suppose that’s a fact of life in an old building.
• Linda (10/5): -
• Karl (10/5): I would never stay anywhere else whilst I’m in Ilfracombe - The owner was so welcoming our room was gorgeous. Warm, lovely furnishings and the bathroom was so so amazing.. An incredible room… can’t say enough good things about the room .. Not one thing everything perfect..
• Elisabetha (9/5): -
• sylvie (10/5): - Très bon accueil dans ce Bnb. Chambre confortable, agréable. Très bon petit déjeuner . Rien, tout était parfait.
• Michelle (10/5): -
• Georgia (8/5): Great Host and Location - Perfect location and I felt extremely accomodated by Jonah! Room was clean and had everything I needed.
• Wareham (10/5): i was staying for work and i found that the Rocky cove suited perfectly - i loved the fact that the owners made contact with me via the website but also via text to provide all the information i needed for my stay, around parking and other issues i may need to know. they were able to accommodate me boking in early and were willing to help me out in terms of a space i needed for a meeting first thing in the morning. i know this was a little out of the usual so i appreciate they were able to do this. in the end my meeting was cancelled. i like how they do breakfast too. rather than being automatically part of the booking they have a system where you let them know if you want breakfast and they charge very reasonable price on the day if required,. this reduces wasted food and allows a choice for those who do not want to have a cooked breakfast the room was very comfortable and clean and had everything i needed for my stay. i would highly recommend people stay here, as it is very close to the coast and all the local amenities, and it is owned and run by two lovely people. i will be using them again in the future. parking was a small issue, but i was warned on the website and the owners also ensured they informed me via text message and provided all the alternatives that were nearby. this is an issue in Ilfracombe in general and nothing the owners have control over.
• Andrew (10/5): Lovely owners , lovely place to stay , clean -
• Susanne (10/5): -
• Demi-Jayne (10/5): - Good location, room was big and clean, staff were contactable and visible enough. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom facilities were very good and clean Nothing, everything was good.
• David (9/5): -
• Yvonne (10/5): B&B location perfect. - The room was excellent , bathroom outstanding, drink station well stocked coffee etc. Host very accommodating. Nothing
• Karen (8/5): -
• James (10/5): Absolutely Perfect - Spotless
• Patrick (10/5): I would book here again - Had a great stay here. The room was clean and spacious. Comfortable bed and the bathroom had a nice big bathtub. Jonah and Nicki are great hosts who communicate very well to ensure a smooth experience.
• Charlotte (7/5): Last minute booking, not disappointed - Greeted with a warm welcome Location perfect Bed comfy Tv had freesat that was a bonus to rest our weary legs Wetherspoons opposite perfect for dinner and drinks Kettle and plenty of necessities provided (a few biscuits would be nice) Shower tray could do with a really good scrub to remove yellow staining, appreciate bleach isn’t as freely used as it use to be, especially with the effects to our oceans There was mention of free parking on the booking, we were fortunate to park out the front that was free from 6pm to 10am - not too sure where the free parking would’ve been had we not managed to park here
• Helen (10/5): - The host was so helpful and accommodating.
• Jasmine C Kennedy (10/5): - This was our 2nd stay at the rocky cove & once again we were greeted at the door with a smile and shown to our rooms. Its always clean and tidy and incredibly comfortable with everything we needed. There are plenty of car parks close by and its close to the centre 😄 Whats not to like? Its absolutely lovely and we will definitely be back
• Alison (10/5): Friendly host, lovely, clean property in a great location. - A lovely B&B with really big rooms. Very close to the harbour, the theatre and all bars and restaurants. We opted to stay breakfast which was freshly cooked and very good value. The only negative about the property was parking. On street parking had a 2 hour maximum but overall this was a minor issue as there were a number of options very close by.
• Daniela (10/5): - Amazing place, would love to visit again. Everything was lovely.
• jessica (10/5): Lovely located hotel. Very cosy room! - We had a lovely one night stay at Rocky Cove. Hosts were very welcoming and lovely! Clean, cosy room and loved that it was dog friendly. Thank you! ☺️
• Jackie (10/5): One night stay - Excellent communication especially about the parking Nothing
• Jeffrey (10/5): A Great Location - large sunny room. - The location was great. The room was large and sunny with views. The owner helped us with our bags. N/A
• Lauren (9/5): - Fantastic place to stay, very clean and comfortable. Would recommend to anyone!
• Donovan (9/5): Had everything I needed. Host was very accommodating and friendly. Bed was nice and cosy. - Beautiful location and very responsive hosts. Parking was a little tricky - carrying lots of things so had to do two trips to the car park which is a few minutes up the road. There are limited spaces (enough for 5 cars) right outside but they were all taken.
• Taylor (10/5): Perfect for what we needed, a really lovely place to stay! - We were able to check in before the wedding we were attending to drop our bags off and freshen up and were really grateful. The room was gorgeous, the bed was very comfortable. It was clean, bright, spacious, cosy and perfect for our one night stay, we could have stayed longer!
• Teresa (8/5): Relaxed & welcoming - Jonah made us feel really welcome and allowed us to checkin early at no extra cost. The location is perfect everything within walking distance and 2 min walk to the beach. Nothing all very good
• Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely stay - We were only staying for 1 night, arriving late and checked out early but was grateful for the clear instructions and in advance and communication. The room was lovely- it was clean, had tea and coffee facilities and the temperature was great. The location was fantastic.
• Spyder (8/5): Convience and comfortable - The Location was ideal, very central to everything within walking distance, Nothing to complain about
• Louise (10/5): Stunning suite - Welcome warm. Rooms outstanding. Beautiful All good
• Christopher (10/5): - A great little B&B - lovely room and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is proper and cooked to order. Host is most welcoming. Ideal for the harbour area restaurants and bars.
• JEAN-MARCEL (9/5): Chambre dans le centre pour visiter la ville - Confortable chambre, très propre. Emplacement très pratique pour se promener et visiter la ville en laissant la voiture au parking. Ventilation du restaurant à côté (si on laisse la fenetre ouverte) mais heureusement il ferme relativement tôt.
• carol (7/5): - The room was clean and comfortable No parking
• Rachael (8/5): Great room, excellent location. - Easy check in with straight forward instructions from hosts regarding key lock. Central location with plenty of parking nearby. Spacious bedroom and bathroom. Warm! Fan was provided but it was inadequate - it did very little to cool the room and it was noisy. A sheet or blanket would be great as an alternative to a duvet on warm nights.
• Fiona (10/5): -
• John (10/5): Exceeded expectations , great location , great value - Good cooked breakfast , amazing veggie breakfast - super tasty Lovely big room , clean , fabulous bath Really friendly staff Nothing
• Melanie (9/5): - Comfy bed, big windows, good location, huge bath
• Maciej (10/5): - All went well - no problem with late arrival, perfect location, nice and clean room, English breakfast as expected... Cheers :) n/a
• Pasquale (9/5): Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt top. - Lage und die Badewanne im gebuchten Zimmer. Der Netflix-Account ist auch super für schlechtes Wetter. Nachttische wären super gewesen. Aber das ist Jammern auf höchstem Niveau.
• ThatG (10/5): -
• Tony (10/5): - The location, cleanliness of the room and the hosts. An absolute pleasure. Highly recommended! Nothing at all. We didn't have breakfast as there was a spoons across the road. My wife's favourite!
• Jessica (9/5): -
• Mähnert (10/5): - Tolles, zentrale Lage, das Zimmer war sehr geschmackvoll und modern eingerichtet. Alles sehr sauber! Nic und Jonah sind sehr aufmerksame und herzliche Gastgeber! Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in Ilfracombe und würden bei Gelegenheit ganz sicher wieder das Rocky Cove wählen! Nichts
• Derry (8/5): -
• Karolina (10/5): Perfect stay, highly recommended - Lovely property and perfect location nothing i can think of
• Elise (10/5): Superb stay at the Rocky Cove B&B - The B&B was right on the sea front and close to all shops and restaurants. We had our toddler grandson with us who wants to walk everywhere so this was perfect. The rooms were modern, very clean and bright. They had everything you needed and more. Nothing it was lovely.
• GEOFFREY (9/5): - Great location Fantastic breakfast Very friendly and helpfull hosts.
