Cairn House provided us with a very comfortable and pleasant place to stay. The rooms were clean and the decoration was suitable for a seaside accommodation. Staff were exemplary and the cooked breakfast was delicious. We rarely return to the same venue but would very happily stay here again if required.

8/10 Very good

This is a lovely property that about 15 minute walk into the centre of town. The breakfast was excellent, the room was well equipped and airy, the bed was comfortable and the staff were lovely. Would recommend a stay here.

Booking at the last minute, we had been braced for Cairn House to be a run-down B&B, but we were pleasantly surprised to find it was a pleasant, comfy, and well-maintained gem. Our bed had one of the comfiest mattresses we've found in a hotel bed, which were apparently in all the rooms. The owners were friendly, and went out of their way to make sure everything was clean and tidy. All in all, absolutely worth a visit.

Practically everything was excellent. The room, breakfast, service were all spot on. The only problem we had was the entrance/exit to the car park. All very tight but it wouldn’t stop us returning if we are ever in the area again. Thank you

Great stay

Can’t recommend Cairn House highly enough, everything you need from a b&b. Clean, friendly, comfortable and of course good full English breakfast. Nothing negative to say, give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

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!

8/10 Very good

Was a lovely place, clean room and shower/bathroom. Owners were lovely and very informative, even offered to lend me a rucksack once i realised id left mine at home. The only downside i found was i could hear guests in the rooms either side of me. Thats not the fault of the owners though. Option of a cooked breakfast each day as well.

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.
