The Olive Branch is a really friendly place to stay. It delivers more than you expect from the 3 star rating.
Parking in the nearby town car park is less than £10 for 24 hours and is about a minute away, so very good being so near the harbour.
Definitely my first choice if I am back in Beachcomber.

Lovely place close to the harbour with plenty of pubs and restaurants within very easy reach. The host was very helpful and let us check in early just when we went to enquire about the parking. Great views over the sea from the room. Breakfast very good. Will definitely stay here again next time I visit Ilfracombe.

The property is a listed building located on a hill overlooking Ilfracombe's harbour and coast. We had a top floor room affording good views (binoculars are provided). The bedroom was well furnished, bedding was spotless cotton linen.
The breakfast menu was provided in advance allowing you to notify your order ready for preparation the breakfast selection and ingredients were first class.
There are parts of Ilfracombe where some premises are empty and have been vandalised having a detrimental impact on the Town's appearance.

Beautiful place near the harbour.
Great welcome from Ian. The room was even better than the picture. Beautiful sea views. Great big bed and sparkling clean bathroom. Jo cooked us the best breakfast. Her poached wggs are amazing. We also had some wine and a snack in the wine bar. Perfect place. Great location.

Unique property. Shame we didn’t stay longer , breakfast area turns into a small music venue/ bar on Thursday evening & Sunday afternoon. Would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Ilfracombe. Would stay again.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Lovely building. Great bar lounge and food set up. Breakfast fantastic. I had researched the sharing platters served at night. Music in bar lounge was lovely. Owners fantastic. Clearly know what they are doing.

I visited the Olive Branch before and after a trip to Lundy. When the departure had to be put back by 24 hours because of a high wind there was absolutely no difficulty in our being able to stay over for the extra unbooked night. Likewise on my return even though I was rather late I was met with the warmest of welcomes and a feeling of being part of a household. My only criticism is that some of the bedrooms are up several flights of stairs and for the elderly (like me) were easier climbed after a (very) good breakfast than when tired by a long walk on the local cliffs. . . butt that is in a way why it feels more like a house tan a hotel. I rate it highly
