We had a top floor room affording good views (binoculars are provided). The bedroom was well furnished, bedding was spotless cotton linen. The breakfast menu was provided in advance allowing you to notify your order ready for preparation the breakfast selection and ingredients were first class. There are parts of Ilfracombe where some premises are empty and have been vandalised having a detrimental impact on the Town's appearance. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathalie Jul 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Brilliant! Fully recommend this place. Located in a quiet street right in the centre of Ilfracombe, with car park 5 minutes’ walk away (£9.50/24hr). Friendly pub with live music in same street as well as tasty tapas restaurant. The room was really big with a lovely view to be enjoyed from comfortable armchairs. Bed a bit soft for our liking but overall feel of the room really comfortable. Breakfast was tastefully presented, with croissants, fresh fruit and delicious yogurt/muesli cups. Good choice of hot offerings too, served by very friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for you. Bar available with occasional events (Irish singing whilst we were there!). Well done! ##### Nathalie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### christopher Sep 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I visited the Olive Branch before and after a trip to Lundy. When the departure had to be put back by 24 hours because of a high wind there was absolutely no difficulty in our being able to stay over for the extra unbooked night. Likewise on my return even though I was rather late I was met with the warmest of welcomes and a feeling of being part of a household. My only criticism is that some of the bedrooms are up several flights of stairs and for the elderly (like me) were easier climbed after a (very) good breakfast than when tired by a long walk on the local cliffs. . . butt that is in a way why it feels more like a house tan a hotel. I rate it highly ##### christopher Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Sep 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Superb in every possible way! This is a family owned and operated BnB and during our stay, we felt like we became part of the family. Jo and Ian became friends, so much more than gracious hosts. Not only are the accommodations luxurious, the breakfast is stellar (get the Royals with sausage instead of salmon - you’ll thank me!). And don’t miss a sharing board in the evening. It’s the best kept secret in town. But if you fancy a supper at the top 3 restaurants in the city, the oldest pub or the most lovely high tea, then you’re in luck. All are a 5 min walk from your door. Sea views, sublime linens, sincere service and city center. You can’t do better than this elegant inn. We loved it so much, we published a full review video on our YouTube channel (Well Travelled Life). ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Express Hamilton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hamilton.h1889137.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonkle House](https://www.expedia.ca/Wishaw-Hotels-Bonkle-House.h15996183.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Luxury Escapes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-Unique-Luxury-Escapes.h29745570.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Windermere-Manor-Hotel.h22280374.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Travelodge-Gatwick-Airport-Central.h10160516.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Peterborough.h2254377.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Peterborough by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Peterborough.h281577.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Peterborough.h2928593.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Northampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Northampton-Town-Centre.h12543.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Milton Keynes](https://www.expedia.ca/Milton-Keynes-Hotels-Novotel-Milton-Keynes.h892420.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson BLU Hotel Durham](https://www.expedia.ca/Durham-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Hotel-Durham.h2226171.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Heated indoor pool & spa, countryside holiday cottage near the beach & park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Heated-Indoor-Pool-Spa.h18971402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Lumley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Le-Street-Hotels-Lumley-Castle-Hotel.h175571.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature London Gatwick Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Crawley-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-London-Gatwick-Hotel.h6579.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harlow Hotel By AccorHotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-The-Harlow-Hotel-By-AccorHotels.h950.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibstock-Hotels-Pinewood-Lodge.h17183221.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Woodbridge-Hotels-The-Crown-Hotel.h520172.Hotel-Information)
