Breakfast was very good quality with excellent ingredients

Fairly large size room. Sea view. Parking available on site (limited).
Beautiful location for energetic walking! Lovely eating places and a strong sense of community throughout the village. We particularly liked the Pack of Cards for evening meals and the cafe overlooking the beach for sandwiches. We had great weather for all 5 days and the beach was much used by all ages. Kayaking, paddle boards were very popular and when the tide was in it was a very protected beach making it safe for young inexperienced swimmers.

Sheltered cove, great for SUP.
Sheltered cove, great for SUP. Low tide makes it even better for small children. People on the beach are friendly and are there to have a good time. The beach is kept clean and there is a designated barbecue area if you want to. Loads of parking, and the town has everything you need and want.

Didn't go into Combe Martin apart from to Top Chippy (👍) and co-op (there's an ATM inside the co-op). Beach is not dog friendly at all, so no good for us. Also, reports of sewage outflows into its river, so not very appealing. Family went to Dinosaur theme park on outskirts, which grandson enjoyed. But it's incredibly hilly, no good for older people with bad knees! (Photo of view down into Combe Martin from Dinosaur park, below)
Got the impression that parking can be tricky in Combe Martin at busy times. Apparently We preferred the beautiful sandy beach at Saunton sands, 25 minutes away, good parking close to dog friendly beach, decent cafe, restaurant, loos, surf schools, some rock pools on right hand side for little crabs, warm pools for toddlers. Parking by the hour, unlike Woolacombe, which charges £10 whether you stay for 30 minutes or all day!!
We stayed on a farm on Ridge Hill a few miles away, but don't drive from CM over the hill, you need a machete to hack the bracken and brambles out of your path. Go round the slightly longer way if heading in that direction!
Lynmouth and Linton worth a visit, pretty little harbour town with 500ft cliff lift. Some free parking along front, by lift. Get lift up, then walk down the Poet's zigzag path for wonderful views over the bay and town. Nice coastal drive out of Lynmouth onto Exmoor, look out for ponies, and several parking areas close to coast path and a few easy walks round the headland with views back down towards Lynmouth. Wonderful Rambler's rest cafe at County gate, boundary with Somerset, delicious cream teas on pretty china, (photo below),best scones, friendly doggy and welcoming owners.
Dare to drive across the ford at Oare and gingerly cross Robbers bridge (fully an inch either side of car!), in Lorna Doone valley. (Photo of pretty ford below)

It's not the most picturesque place in Devon as it's an old Silver mining town, but it still has some great features. Beach is fantastic if you like interesting pebbles and rock pools, but also lots of sand and good surf. NB there is no beach when the tide is in! The Pack 'o' Cards pub is really good for an evening meal and one of the few places with good car parking, along with the Co-op, both well away from the beach. Parking is very poor, but if you're staying there then there are some great walks where not many go as there is hardly any car parking!

Unique accommodation and excellent hosts.
Unique accommodation and excellent hosts. Very quiet with sea views. Going to sleep with the sound of the sea was a real treat. Breakfast was lovely. I visited in October and Combe Martin was quite sleepy, but a perfect base for walking the coast path and exploring Exmoor.

Combe Martin is set along a very long High Street with the cove/coast at the bottom where most of the shops are. Not a great deal of choice with the shops - I would imagine at one time Combe Martin was very well serviced with small shops but, like alot of coastal towns now, the smaller independent shops have all closed down. There is a Co-op there. The cove area is quaint and attractive and is where the coastal path starts in both directions. Beautiful scenery from the coastal path.
Great location, 3 miles from Combe Martin off a country lane, it was very peaceful. Zac and his wife were very friendly and helpful. We both wished we could have stayed longer, there's a ping pong table, table football, even cricket bats. Plenty of room for kids to play and it felt a very safe environment. Our cottage was two-bedroomed, with nice kitchen and lounge, having Netflix was an added bonus. There's a good Co-op in Combe Martin for all your food requirements etc. We both slept really well during our shot stay
It's a lovely property right up the street form the beach in Combe Martin. Obligatory bed rating: very comfy, beautifully crisp but soft sheets. Slept like a rock. Michelle was an attentive and helpful host. Nice breakfast, and a well-stocked little honesty bar in the sun room, which was a godsend as very few establishments in town were open off-season (which I'd anticipated).
The property is clean, bright & modern. It has most of the things you’d expect from a self catering accommodation but there are a few things missing. It’s location in Combe Martin is really good - with easy walking access to shops, pubs & the beach. The cottage isn’t huge but is good as a base.
Loved accommodation, beautifully renovated barn in a stunning location overlooking Combe Martin.
Nice little touch of popcorn and crisps for a treat and there are even dog treats if you are travelling with your pet pouch.
Beds were very comfortable, underfloor heating kept us nice and toasty!
Great apartment, located very close to the seafront. The apartment had everything we needed. The hosts made us feel very welcome, helping take our bags in and our children were delighted with the little surprises left for them. It was a great base to explore the north Devon coast from.
The hosts were very friendly and approachable and made you feel so comfortable. Their attention to detail was appreciated so much. The dinner and breakfast we had were absolutely fantastic. We would have no hesitation in recommending this B & B to anybody visiting the Combe Martin area.
I was greeted with a lovely warm welcome by Jane who told me all I had to know about the property to enjoy my stay. The house is located in a quiet area of Combe Martin and has the most splendid views of the harbour and sea. I sat on the bed and watched the sunset. Perfect.
Lovely quiet site, stunning views, great location 5 mins from ilfracombe 15 to woolacombe beach (driving) Combe Martin is lovely
Will deffinatley be coming back
Site was clean and reasonably priced
Accommodation was clean and the view was beautiful.
Loud music, plumbing droned like a foghorn throughout the night no-one around to help, when I complained next day to staff I was told ".Well it is an old building" I left went to Beach hostel in Ilfracombe. And spent 3 great nights there.
The location was great, right on the Bay of Combe Martin and easy drive to surrounding areas. The hosts couldn’t of been more friendly and made you feel at home with some excellent recommendations too. Even gave us a few parting gifts.
An especially nice location for Combe Martin, close to the harbour with adequate parking.. The room faces the street but is very quiet after 2130. Newly furnished and decorated in a cheerful Caribbean seaside theme.
Spotlessly clean, very central in Combe Martin, staff were friendly and incredibly helpful, and the full english breakfast was huge and delicious with plenty of other offerings on the menu too!
Absolutely amazing hosts and a beautiful house. Will definitely be making a return trip. A little gem to be treasured in North Devon with hearty home cooked breakfast to start the day.
The property is in an ideal location close to the beach at Combe Martin. We enjoyed our stay and Janet and Neill were excellent hosts. The breakfast was very good.
