My husband and I have stayed at this hotel on several occasions over the years. The standard is consistently high. It's beautifully decorated and furnished (with very comfortable beds) and spotlessly clean. Diana and Keith, the owners, make you feel welcome, ensure that you are well looked after and provide an excellent breakfast, with the option of booking in for the evening meal. Altogether a great place to stay

This is the fourth year we have stayed in this lovely hotel. The location on the slope of Hollerday hill gives magnificent views across the Lyn valley. Rooms are comfortable and well furnished. The guest sitting room is open all day and very comfortable. Breakfasts are good and evening meals simply wonderful. Our hosts Keith and Diana are welcoming and friendly. Nothing is too much for them. A wonderful place to stay - a real home from home. Highly recommended.

Truly a home from home. The rooms are well furnished and beautifully comfortable. The hotel sits on the side of Hollerday Hill an easy walk from The Valley of Rocks. Diana and Keith spare no efforts in catering for guests' comforts. Breakfast is always excellent and the optional evening meal is always simply superb. Guests have use of a comfortable lounge with many maps and guide books. We have come here for the past four years and love it here. Highly recommended.

From checking in to having the little things ready on your breakfast table, the owners and hosts, Diana and Keith are just fabulous and make it a relaxing and pleasant stay. We had the twin room at the top of the hotel with everything we needed. We loved the fresh milk and good quality tea and coffee that was refreshed each day, a welcome break after hiking the south west coast path. Diana also kindly would chill our bottle of wine for us over night ready for when we returned after a long hike the following day. No need for noisy fridges in the room. I would recommend this B&B to friends or anyone looking for a comfortable stay whilst hiking the South West Coast Path or just visiting the north Devon coastline.
