Absolutely delightful Guest House. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious warm clean and with a great view. We had the room with the bath in the corner (room 3) which was brilliantly quirky - we loved it. Breakfast was lovely and beautifully presented. We could not fault in any way. We definitely recommend.

Came down for a couple of nights break away.This place was amazing and we would definitely come back. Everything was spotless room a good size with a great sea view.we had double room with separate bathroom.The only down thing for us was the bath it was lovely And would of been great to use but the plug didn't work leaking water so didn't stay in and tge shower could only be used sitting in tge bath which wasn't easy.The little things made it also with the bottles of water biscuits etc The breakfast was amazing fresh and not greasy lots to choose from.Credit to jo and team

I stayed here at the Olive Branch in Ilfracome at start of June this year. I can highly recommend the B&B accommodation! Great location, a few minutes walk from the historic quaint harbour, with its fishing boats, cafes, bars & shops. I was walking the South West Coast Path, and this B&B was ideally placed en-route. My Host was Jo, was very helpful and friendly lady. I am from Coventry, I was surprised to learn that so too was Jo! - Its a small world. Very comfortable accommodation, comfy bed and a superb full English to keep me going on my 20 mile walk to Braunton that day!

We arrived early (1.30pm) and were surprised to find the hotel all shut up. However we rang the phone number supplied and very soon after were contacted by the owners who were very helpful and let us check in. We would recommend room number 1 on the top floor as it has smashing views over the town. We wanted to do the Woolacombe parkrun at 9am and wouldn’t get back until after breakfast so they very kindly parcelled us up a delicious take away breakfast.

We needed to cancel our booking as my husband was taken to hospital and so I called Jo and she couldn’t have been more helpful. Once better we rearranged our booking and again no problems. We were given a warm welcome and shown to room 5, a huge room with an amazing view over ilfracombe. Following a great sleep we enjoyed a lovely breakfast, perfectly cooked and plentiful all served by an unobtrusive and efficient young lady. Thank you all for a comfortable stay and big thanks Jo for your kindness when we couldn’t make our first booking and allowing us to rearrange with ease. Highly recommend booking this B and B ( book direct , easy to Google the telephone number 😀)

Lovely place to stay. Warm welcome, relaxed atmosphere and really helpful with tips on where to eat nearby. The big three (Bed, shower, Wi-Fi) were all good and the breakfast was one of the best I’ve had anywhere.
