This was a perfect stay. every little detail was so well thought out for us. And it's so great to stay somewhere that is so welcoming and that serves vegan and vegetarian food. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay

We had a fabulous weekend. Rooms were spotless and the bed was very, very comfortable. Superb choice for breakfast and very friendly hosts. We will definitely return.

Book restaurants in advance. We struggled getting taxis on Saturday night, leave enough time.

Had a very warm welcome from hosts at the Earlsdale.The guest house was beautifully decorated throughout. Room was spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. Breakfast was plentiful, delicious and catered for our dietary needs. The homemade muffins were a real treat! Our stay was only for one night but we will definitely return to sample the mini bar and fabulous garden area.

Congratulations to Lewis and James for having the wisdom to take on the challenge of renovating this now beautiful establishment and rescuing it from it’s mundane past. I was drawn by the online photos and the numerous excellent comments from previous guests. It is styled and decorated throughout in an elegant and characterful way, each of the guest bedrooms are presented in an immaculate state, it was just perfect. And now the food, every morning we were presented by the most delicious array of food. Whether your preference is for vegan, vegetarian or traditional fare then all your expectations will be fully met. High quality food carefully prepared by James and presented by Lewis. The attention to detail was truly remarkable and consistent. Thank you both so much also for the consideration shown to my wife and I given the circumstances of my visit to Ilfracombe. We will hopefully return.

We enjoyed lunch and a dinner at the Lime Kiln restaurant, a beautiful view and a varied menu with many good fish choices.
