We attend a wedding at Tunnels Beaches and this B&B was ideal in terms of location and value for money. Rocky Cove is a stones throw from the harbour with the famous Damien Hurst Verity statue, as well as from the wedding venue and the centre of Ilfracombe. The room was clean and functional (possibly a little stuffy for sleeping,... More

Just spent one night in the Rocky cove. Really well positioned within minutes of the sea front, harbour, pubs and restaurants. The B&B is quite small with only 4 bedrooms but ours was a good size, nicely decorated and very clean. My only issue is the parking - fortunatley we were able to park on a metre right outside, but...

We've just spent 2 nights in this great bed and breakfast. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. The room was very clean, comfortable, and warm. It looks like it was all recently renovated. Breakfast is great. It consists of juice, coffee or tea, fresh fruits, cereals, and high quality full english cooked breakfast to order. Highly recommended.

It was a spur of the moment decision to stay a night in Ilfracombe and noticed a vacant sign at the Rocky Cove and we are so glad we did. The welcome was fantastic and we were shown the room before we had to decide. It was a lovely room spotlessly clean warm and comfy. Breakfast in the morning was... More

Stayed only one night, but wished we'd booked for longer. Comfortable, scrupulously clean room, extremely friendly, genuine and helpful, but completely non-intrusive owners. Great knowledge of the area and the best places to eat. Made my partner, my 4 month old daughter and I feel extremely welcome and at ease on our first time away from home with our baby.... More
