Beautiful room, interaction with owners was polite and minimal and we felt comfortable during our stay, met the owner in person when leaving and she was very lovely. Information of the surrounding area was available in the room which we found really useful. Lovely location and really central. Great choice for food and drink

We booked at two night stay so that we could view some wedding venues in Devon. The stay was hastle free. We received all the information we needed about the room, keys, parking etc prior to our arrival. The room was lovely-really well presented, clean and had everything we needed. Will definitely book again and encourage others to do the same.

Really lovely room, the nicest room we have ever stayed in! Light, bright and beautifully done. Spotlessly clean.The bathroom was outstanding, a real treat. Upon our arrival we were greeted by lovely friendly host. We were contacted ahead of arrival with all the options for parking which was very helpful. Would certainly highly recommend .

Hosts were lovely and location was great for what we were after! Our room seemed to struggle to get warm and our shower seemed to lack pressure. A fair few steps so be prepared!

only stayed for one night but wish it was longer, The room and en-suite were beautiful and immaculately presented. Our host were welcoming and friendly. Unfortunately, due to a very earlier departure we were unable to have breakfast but look forward to it next time. I would not hesitate to recommend The Rocky Cove to anyone visiting Ilfracombe, It is exceptional!!
