Loved by guests
"We loved the room which was a very tastefully decorated double overlooking the harbour and sea."
"The facility of the landrover transporting us up and down the really steep hill was an excellent bonus."
"We stayed in room 16 in the Sail loft, which was a delight."

“Staying here means more than just a room; it's an immersion into Clovelly's unique atmosphere, from the harbor views to the complimentary village access. What stood out to me was the commitment to local sourcing in the restaurant-a taste of Devon right on your plate. Though the steep lane might test some drivers, the dedicated guest parking is a thoughtful touch. For those seeking charm without sacrificing modern comforts, this place hits the mark.”
