    The Devonian was simply outstanding - clean, modern and comfortable. The breakfast was also top notch - cereal, full English, fresh coffee.... Hosts were lovely too.

    The hot tap turned the wrong way. A small pice to pay for an amazing stay.

    Terrace and Piper were very friendly and approachable, they made us feel totally at home, the hotel was in a stunning location and was very clean, breakfast was amazing, we even felt overwhelmed at the choices available to us,the cooked breakfast was hot and very tasty, we will be rebooking for the future.

    Nothing - except the shower power but being on the top floor it’s expected that the pressure won’t be as powerful. There really is nothing we could improve it was such a wonderful place to stay

    What jewel of a find! Not only is the property stunning Terence and Piper cannot do enough for you. We stayed in the olive room - the photos do not do to justice and it’s a lovely walk into the heart of Ilfracombe!

    There is nothing about the place or the experience not to like. Absolutely no complaints what so ever

    The hosts were exceptional. Terrence and Piper couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. They did everything possible to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The hotel and the food was top notch and the room was as advertised. Such a friendly place to stay, we will definitely stay there again next time we are down that way. 11/10 good job and thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable

    Fabulous hosts - very friendly and helpful. Loved that it was all table service for breakfast which was excellent. Little touches such as an eye mask and ear plugs on the bed. Spotlessly clean throughout. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again.

    If i'm being picky, the only criticism would be the lack of flow power of the shower. But that is a minor issue.

    The Devonian is a wonderful place to stay. Terence and Piper have put a huge effort into this and are the most perfect hosts. The entire establishment has been decorated thoughtfully and tastefully, our room was comfortable and roomy and breakfast was equisite. This was our favourite place we stayed on our road trip.
