    I like the room we stayed in, it was simply but tastefully decorated, and comfortable. Hoteliers very friendly and pleasant. Enjoyed our stay there.

    Being picky the music at breakfast was a bit loud would have preferred no background music. Breakfast was good but would have prefrred better quality bread/toast.

    Room was clean, well kept and extemely large.Owners very sociable. Breakfast was good.Only stayed one night, but would certainly stay again. Parking close to the Olive Branch is limited, however we managed to find a space on the road a couple of hundred yards away.Did not get chance to try the restaurant as it was closed the night we stayed.Would recommend this hotel.

    Extremely friendly, helpful and funny staff. Great room, brilliant location less than 200 yards from harbour. Easy parking, lovely breakfasts. Even the tv screen/DVD was brilliant - not that we watched much as there is loads to do in n Devon. We'll go again.

    My stay at the Olive Branch was most enjoyable. The owners were very friendly and efficient. Comfortable well equipped room and delicious breakfast individually cooked. The location is good despite being on a steep hill in Ilfracombe. Highly recommended and I would certainly use it again Brian k James Malmesbury Solo traveller
