Wildercombe House offers bed and breakfast accommodation, located in the coastal town of Ilfracombe, North Devon, with sea views, free Wi-Fi throughout and free parking on site.

Wildercombe Houses’s spacious, wooden-floored dining room has views of the Welsh coastline. Breakfast is served each morning and includes full English options, and lighter continental choices, with meals made from local ingredients.

This is one of the most wonderful rooms I have ever rented! The hosts, Ann Marie and Barry, greeted me warmly upon my arrival and were generally available but not intrusive. The room was simply stunning! It was like having my own little apartment set in a historical property but updated with all the modern conveniences. There was a small fridge and kitchen stocked with utensils and even a little dining table. I appreciate that they had milk waiting for me for my morning coffee. Full breakfast cooked to order was included. Bed was so comfy and ahhhh, that soaker tub!! Plenty of outlets and a very nice desk where I could set up my laptop. Separate sitting area/living room. The best part was the attached private patio that meant I didn't have to get dressed and slog outside for a cigarette. Ten out of ten.

    We had a lovely break. Heather, Alison (and her mum) were so friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. We’ve not been anywhere we felt so comfortable taking our dog. He will be back for his breakfast sausage! In a nice quiet area, slept like logs on the comfortable bed and breakfast was lovely. Short walk to the harbour and if you’re feeling a bit lazy for the walk back, the taxis will take dogs! Highly recommended!

    Beautiful House and great location. We were the first to stay in this property as a holiday let so everything was brand new and spotless. The garden was lovely and very private. Very quiet area. Ilfracombe within easy walking distance, Woolacombe just a short drive and a lovely park just up the road is worth a visit. Would definitely book again. Dog friendly.
