Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Comfy bed, bedding and towels soft and fluffy. Very nice big bathroom with lovely roll top bath. Our room also had beautiful sea views from both windows 😊

Beautiful

Beautiful small guest house. Breakfast is cooked fresh when you are ready to order. Parking is about 150 metres away and very reasonable. Every one was very friendly. Only slight criticism is that the rooms are not very soundproof.

Where to stay in Ilfracombe

This is a lovely place to stay - it really is. If I were to be really nit-picky I'd say the climb up and down the stairs is a bit of a faff - but then again people pay good money for gym membership........... There was probably a lift that thicko here never discovered. Would I recommend the Olive Branch? You bet! Would I stay at the Olive Branch again? You bet!
