We arrived late after a long delay on the M5, to be met by the smiling, friendly Margaret, who made us feel very welcome. As we were leaving early next day to cycle to Plymouth on the Devon coast to coast ride and would've missed breakfast, Margaret brought croissants, yoghurts and fruit juice etc to our room for the next morning, and even put in a small fridge for us, service above and beyond for such a small hotel. The family room was a good size for the three of us and was great with a couple of comfy chairs and table. For the excellent price, we felt that this was amazing value for money and the hotel was in great condition, a lovingly well cared for imposing Victorian building. We certainly heartily recommend Cairn House as a fab place to stay in Ilfracombe and if back for a visit, look forward to staying there again.

Nothing, we really enjoyed our stay, thank you

I received a warm welcome on arrival. The bedroom was comfortable and spacious with ensuite bathroom. Breakfast was excellent! It's a lovely old house, well maintained and very clean. Although St Brannocks Road is one of the main routes into the town there was no traffic noise. Parking was good. I would definitely choose to stay here again in the future. One thing to be aware of is that the driveway is quite steep and curved at the top and bottom. Be careful when leaving the premises as main road visibility is limited. I found it best to emerge slowly with my hazard lights flashing. This is true of all the houses on that section of the road so it's not something that could be easily changed. It's a historic 'feature'.

This lovely place and friendly staff made our stay exceptionally memorable, and we had an enjoyable walk down town to the restaurant. Were glad to get a bus back though.

Access by car to the property is exceedingly difficult - a steep hill and acute corners. I guess that's part of Devon life. But that is a small consideration compared with its ambience, friendly staff, and excellent room and breakfast. This is a place that will stay in my memory for a lot longer than most others.

The property was exceptionally clean. It had everything that I needed,a lovely comfortable bed, lovely size room with spotless bathroom. The hosts were very friendly and extremely helpful they catered for my dietary needs and they made sure that I had everything I needed. You were always greeted with a smile and treated with respect.

Can’t say there was any that I didn’t like

Breakfast help yourself cereals and fruit drinks, choice of breakfast standard British but other by request, the room was single I stayed in because of availability but full en-suite with bath or shower very clean and lovely size for a good nights sleep and the Host very friendly and welcoming.

Do not usually use a single room and because of the lovely weather the Beaches were all full with no parking at 10 am but that is not the Host fault but after the day a welcoming comfortable room

Just such a lovely place to stay. Very quiet hotel conveniently located for visitors exploring North Devon, it's also near Exmoor, horse riding up the road. Bus stop a few yards away if you don't drive. . Within walking distance to Ilfracombe town. Ample free hotel parking. Clean, warm hotel, fresh decor, plenty of towels etc. Nice crisp bedding. On my booking breakfast was included which featured the works! Was delicious. Great service. Free WiFi which was a good connection. Hosts were lovely and friendly. Would thoroughly recommend.

Having to leave!

The B&B was spotlessly clean and the room spacious, comfortable and had everything you would need during your stay. The honesty bar was a great addition too. Margaret and Nick were extremely friendly, helpful and it's clear to see how much they put into their business by reflection on how good the B&B is. Nice big breakfast is served too, along with plenty of choice. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

It was slightly outside of the town, and quiet at night which was important. Being further out it enjoyed magnificent views of the sea and surrounding hills. The hotel was clean and seemed recently decorated, as it looked so fresh. The hosts were very welcoming, and engaging and helpful throughout our stay.

Nothing that I can think of.
