Barton Gate Farm B&B ★★★★

"Booked here as I didn't want to stay in a commercial hotel. As soon as I pulled up, I knew I had made the right decision. Absolutely beautiful setting, so tranquil. Paula, the host, made us feel welcome, right from the start. Continental breakfast is included and plentiful. If you want a cooked breakfast, it's a little extra. Our room was spotless, bright, and airy. The beds were comfortable and lovely bedding. En suite with a bath and shower over! Tea coffee making facilities plus a fridge, microwave,toaster plus all the crockery needed. We ended up staying 2 nights instead of just the 1. All in all. A fantastic host and a fantastic stay. "

Woodford Bridge Country Club ★★★★

"Good property, little far from major attractions"

The New Inn Clovelly ★★★

"We had a lovely couple of days, using a deal booked through Travelzoo. We stayed in Room 1, which is in the main building. It was spacious, en-suite, with a double and a single bed. We could just about see the sea! There was plenty of wardrobe space, plus tea/coffee making stuff, tv, good Wi-Fi, hairdryer, shampoo and conditioner. The building dates back to the 18th century, so it has lots of character, oak beams, etc. but it does look a little worn in places. We particularly liked the room where we had breakfast, with its paintings and antique furniture. Breakfast itself was great. Full English, with veggie/vegan options, fruit juices, cereals, yogurt, unlimited toast, jam etc. and they had soya milk, dairy free “butter”, gluten free bread. We ate both nights in the downstairs bar/restaurant. There were standard pub meals (great fish and chips), baguettes, nachos, plus interesting specials e.g. mussels, schnitzel, mackerel quiche, jambalaya. I’m dairy intolerant, and they were very helpful with adapting meals for me. I couldn’t have the afternoon tea though. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and some had lived all their lives in the village. I’ve loved Clovelly since childhood, and it didn’t disappoint. On the day we arrived we walked down to the harbour, and saw porpoises from the wall! March is off peak, so there wasn’t a lot going on. Just the amazing views, historic buildings that you can go inside, a small shop selling sweets, pasties and ice creams, a lovely tea shop, and another pub/restaurant. There are various walks, gardens to view, plus the donkey stables. The visitor centre has some shops, a cafe and a brewery. We loved our stay, and will hopefully go back again. A few tips….even though we’d visited the village before, we underestimated how steep it was. You have to carry your luggage quite a long way down, and then back up when you leave - we took way too much, and didn’t need half of it. Wheelie bags are a waste of time because you can’t wheel them on the cobbles! So if you’re staying there, take the minimum possible, eg. just one pair of non-slip shoes. Everyone seems to dress quite casually. You need a reasonable level of fitness to cope with the steepness. It would be impossible for anyone with mobility issues. There is a Landrover service that goes from the visitor centre to the harbour and back, but it only operates in peak season (e.g from Easter to autumn). I’d recommend having a room in the main building rather than those on the other side of the path, as we spoke to fellow guests whose bathroom was across the hall. The lower number rooms are in the main building."

Premier Inn Bude ★★★

"Hotel was fine as expected food was amazing which isn’t normal for a premier Inn credit to Tony for taking pride in his cooking"

The Beach ★★★★

The Olde Malthouse ★★★

"Very pleasant stay. Quirky room but had everything I needed. Window opened out over the seating area at the front so it felt a little less than private and I did get the occasional whiff of tobacco smoke. Dinner and breakfast were very good."

The White Hart Hotel ★★

"Great food and ambience with lovely staff. Nice to see a decent local pub. Will be going back later on this week as too good an opportunity to miss as have been very disappointed recently at other establishments with poor quality expensive food."

The Wellington Hotel ★★★

"Apart from the room being too small, everything else was fine."

Camelot Castle Hotel ★★★

"Great value and a lovely stay. Clean, comfortable room, helpful staff, and a convenient location. Everything was exactly as described. Highly recommend!"
