"We really enjoyed our stay. We were walking the SWCP and were glad to stop earlier on this leg.

Delicious dinner down stairs, and lucky for us on our night, a live singer providing a musical background atmosphere. She was lovely, and just the thing to elevate the evening to next level."

Top Watermouth Castle Hotel Reviews

The Dilkhusa Grand Hotel By Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly welcome from reception staff on arrival. Room was Clean and great for our stay, shower (corner shower) was a bit small had to squeeze in between the door to get it. Great location, shops, weatherspoons, fish and chip shop in easy walking distance. 10 minute walk to the harbour. Would stay again"

North Devon Resort

8/10 Good

"Great pool"

Newberry Beach Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The house is artistically decorated. The couple who run the B&B are very helpful. A relaxing. The house is very close to the beach for people who like to swim"

The Sawmills

8/10 Good

"The room and shower room were really clean and felt modern. Comfortable bed. The manager was very pleasant and chatty whenever we saw her. The bar staff were very good but service for breakfast on the second morning was slow. Parking right outside was very convenient."

The Harbour Lights

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely clean modern room, very good food. Staff very friendly."

Saffron House Hotel

8/10 Good

"I originally stayed at this B&B about 20 years ago while walking the coastal path, & decided to return as the village was in an ideal place for our touring holiday. The steep driveway & smallish space made for tricky parking with a large car, but doable. Our room was clean & comfortable, if a little dated in style. The owners were welcoming & helpful. Breakfast the next morning set us up for the day. We had a meal in the pub near the beach, & took a stroll around the village."

Ocean View

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay. The caravan was clean and tidy and was in a nice position with a view. There was everything you could need for cooking, together with games, dvds, magazines etc. Good to have outdoor space to sit and eat. The site is hilly, maybe not suitable for those with mobility issues. The pool was a nice space. Short walk down (and uphill back) to the beach and cafes etc, great for paddle boarding as it's very sheltered. Great area with lot's of lovely places to visit. Abi was on hand to sort out any issues which was reassuring. Great place to stay 👌"

Seawood Villa • Devon • SeaViews • Beachfront

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second stay here this year, and both times we’ve ended up extending because we just didn’t want to leave! The space is so peaceful, welcoming and full of character. The hosts are fantastic, and the views are truly something special. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind. We’re already planning our next visit. Thank you so much! ❤️"
