B&B with good accommodation and good breakfast
Lovely little B&B. Have been going there for a number of years now. Simple, friendly, and comfortable with a great breakfast.

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.

A Perfect Place to Stay
We had a wonderful mini break at the Olive Branch. It is a gem of a place in a central position in Ilfracombe, easy to get to and close to the harbour, sights, restaurants and the many local walks. Parking was easy in a long stay carpark a few minutes walk away. The property is well presented. There is a small bar (open at select times) which doubles as a breakfast room and guests have their own separate entrance. We stayed in Room 5, a large spacious room with a huge bay window with views of the sea and Capstone Hill. Our room was clean and comfortable with all the facilities we needed, there were two armchairs to admire the views, a large bed, plenty of storage and coat hangers, a fridge, an iron and ironing board, a hairdryer and a whirlpool bath. The refreshment tray and water bottles were replenished daily. Breakfast at the Olive Branch is excellent and it certainly helps you start your day well. There is a super buffet table with fresh fruit, yoghurt and croissants and a wide choice of cooked breakfasts that are cooked to order. Everything comes cooked to perfection and nothing seems too much trouble. My husband loved his full English and I enjoyed the full vegetarian and the scrambled egg and smoked salmon on toast. Jo and her team are friendly, professional and helpful, they regularly checked to see if we were having an enjoyable stay and gave us tips on what to see and do. We highly recommend the Olive Branch, it was a perfect place to stay. Many thanks Jo!
