My room was in the rear corner away from both roads, so was wonderfully quiet. Everyone there was wonderful, it was great to hang out in the garden and the bar. Terrific stay!

The property and our room was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was super but most of all, the proprietors were faultless. Very pleasant, and couldn’t do enough for you. Thank you both for a lovely stay.

Warm welcome felt at home.

This was second honeymoon to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary returning to where we went on honeymoon. Our original guest house was no longer open. Cairn House did not disappoint, from the moment we arrived we felt at home. Our room was on ground floor so easy access, it was large and bright with views of the hills and the sea from the large bay window. We made use of the local bus which stopped just a few yards from the front door to get into town and back in the evening to get an evening meal. Breakfast was plentiful and well cooked with good choice and quality. There is also a bar area where you can get soft or alcoholic drinks during afternoon or evening. When we next return to Ilfracombe we will have no hesitation in booking here again.
