We liked being so close to the water and having the convenience of a bar and restaurant in our hotel. In the morning, we enjoyed watching people kayak and swim along the shore, and then walked up the steep hill to eat breakfast in another inn just for something different. Upon checkout, a kind hotel employee drove his Range Rover up the steep hill in front of us. That helped to relieve all the stress of driving our underpowered stick-shift rental car up the steep narrow drive while imagining another car coming down the hill towards us. Once we were on our way, we drove to nearby Hartland Point and after walking around the shops and restaurants where we purchased a wonderful book called The Salt Path: A Memoir by local author Raynor Winn (highly recommend it), we spent several hours hiking the gorgeous SW Coast Path. That was one of our best experiences.
Set in 2.5 acres, surrounded by moorland and unspoiled countryside, this award-winning property is a former 16th century Coaching Inn, full of character and warmth.

The house feels cosy and vintage. The beds were comfortable Basic cooking essentials like oil, salt & pepper were provided. It’s nearby town centre and the closest grocery story is just across the road. There’s a pretty garden outside where guests can sit and enjoy..

The village is a living museum which is charming and I love the ethos. However, this comes with an understanding of leaving your car at the top of the hill and carrying luggage to and from your hotel.
The hill ensures a good workout for your quads and it is not suitable for anyone with limited mobility.

Clovelly is a historical "one off".
Clovelly is a historical "one off". However to visit one must be fairly active as the way down to and through the village is steeply downhill and cobbled, slippery when wet. The visitor centre at the top of the village will give you some really good information about what to see and do and I recommend watching the film on the village in the centre. It will also relieve you of £8.75 per adult to visit, though free if you stay over!!

Clovelly is a picture-postcard place, very interesting to visit. We stayed 2 nights at the New Inn which was good, allowed us to see and do everything. Food and drink is quite expensive, you will need good walking shoes to get about as the high street is very steep (not sandals as some people were wearing), not really suitable for very young children or frail adults. The formal gardens are excellent, as are the craft workshops. Breathtaking views at various points. Good visitor centre with informative video of the village.

Lovely little village.
Lovely little village. Very very steep but well worth the climb. Went middle October and some places were closed. Two pubs in the village and I recommend eating in the New Inn and also the Cottage tea rooms. The staff at both are very welcoming and the foods very good.

My favourite places in Clovelly village were the New Inn hotel Friendly locals ,walks and stunning views every where.
We eat in the new Inn food and service was excellent.
Access is easy around Clovelly and exciting not knowing what's around the next corner.
Clovelly is a destination, with historic streetscape, structures, compact gardens, and hillsides and sea. Outstanding walking experiences. Our room had a balcony with a view to opposite streetscape and hillsides and a peek-a-boo down the street to the sea. Room had a compact bath and bedroom with a non-working fireplace and some character ceiling under the main roof. Very good full cooked breakfast with yogurt or cereal starters if you like in a character-filled room.
Very good location, comfortable, clean. My dog was welcomed, parking onsite and I enjoyed my stay. Having read previous reviews, I do wonder what planet some people are from....this is a 16th Century coaching inn, with a lovely atmosphere and wonderfully quirky. There are plenty of budget chain hotels available for those who prefer that sort of thing. If I need accommodation in this area in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to return.
Beautiful, spotlessly clean and very comfortable bedroom with stunning countryside and sea views! Helen and Brian have created a home away from home for guests and their hospitality is second to none! A very delicious cooked breakfast served in the morning with plenty of continental options available too. Great base to explore the Hartland peninsula, Clovelly etc. We only wish we could have stayed longer!
Good value for money. Great location for day trips. This particular resort ( main hotel/reception area) is a bit dated but this did not affect our enjoyment as the kids loved the outdoor play area, the forest, pool and Battle Blasters. 20 minute drive to Westward Ho which is amazing. Great beach for walking , rock pooling and crabbing. Fun arcades for the kids and mini golf. Bonus…weather treated us well.
The value for the money was great, considering the location, it is a testament to the hard work of the staff that keep guests fed, watered and a clean bed for the night. Halfway down the hill in Clovelly the location is superb, the rooms are basic but perfectly adequate. Breakfast was good and set us up for the day, All in all a very nice stay. Thanks !!
Welcoming, helpful and attentive to your requirements.
Breakfast was delicious with homemade jam and freshly laid eggs on the menu.
The room and beds were very comfortable with en suite bathroom and a fridge which was great for essentials.
Close to Clovelly can walk or a few minutes in the car.
Beautiful spot and very lovely seaport lodging. The quay very inviting and scenic. The Hotel itself was lovely as well but our room was a little cramped although well appointed. The restaurant is lovely as is the pub for a quick bite. The breakfast was copious and very pleasant indeed.
Lovely pub. Food was excellent with great breakfast. The staff was really wonderful ( especially Amy). Even though Clovelly itself is a challenge we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights stay.
