Combe Martin has a great little beach for families but not really a lot else.
I love it because it has a great walk around the headland, and is a a good place to stay to visit other attractions in the area

Beautiful location for energetic walking!
Beautiful location for energetic walking! Lovely eating places and a strong sense of community throughout the village. We particularly liked the Pack of Cards for evening meals and the cafe overlooking the beach for sandwiches. We had great weather for all 5 days and the beach was much used by all ages. Kayaking, paddle boards were very popular and when the tide was in it was a very protected beach making it safe for young inexperienced swimmers.

Sheltered cove, great for SUP.
Sheltered cove, great for SUP. Low tide makes it even better for small children. People on the beach are friendly and are there to have a good time. The beach is kept clean and there is a designated barbecue area if you want to. Loads of parking, and the town has everything you need and want.

Didn't go into Combe Martin apart from to Top Chippy (👍) and co-op (there's an ATM inside the co-op). Beach is not dog friendly at all, so no good for us. Also, reports of sewage outflows into its river, so not very appealing. Family went to Dinosaur theme park on outskirts, which grandson enjoyed. But it's incredibly hilly, no good for older people with bad knees! (Photo of view down into Combe Martin from Dinosaur park, below)
Got the impression that parking can be tricky in Combe Martin at busy times. Apparently We preferred the beautiful sandy beach at Saunton sands, 25 minutes away, good parking close to dog friendly beach, decent cafe, restaurant, loos, surf schools, some rock pools on right hand side for little crabs, warm pools for toddlers. Parking by the hour, unlike Woolacombe, which charges £10 whether you stay for 30 minutes or all day!!
We stayed on a farm on Ridge Hill a few miles away, but don't drive from CM over the hill, you need a machete to hack the bracken and brambles out of your path. Go round the slightly longer way if heading in that direction!
Lynmouth and Linton worth a visit, pretty little harbour town with 500ft cliff lift. Some free parking along front, by lift. Get lift up, then walk down the Poet's zigzag path for wonderful views over the bay and town. Nice coastal drive out of Lynmouth onto Exmoor, look out for ponies, and several parking areas close to coast path and a few easy walks round the headland with views back down towards Lynmouth. Wonderful Rambler's rest cafe at County gate, boundary with Somerset, delicious cream teas on pretty china, (photo below),best scones, friendly doggy and welcoming owners.
Dare to drive across the ford at Oare and gingerly cross Robbers bridge (fully an inch either side of car!), in Lorna Doone valley. (Photo of pretty ford below)

It's not the most picturesque place in Devon as it's an old Silver mining town, but it still has some great features. Beach is fantastic if you like interesting pebbles and rock pools, but also lots of sand and good surf. NB there is no beach when the tide is in! The Pack 'o' Cards pub is really good for an evening meal and one of the few places with good car parking, along with the Co-op, both well away from the beach. Parking is very poor, but if you're staying there then there are some great walks where not many go as there is hardly any car parking!

Unique accommodation and excellent hosts.
Unique accommodation and excellent hosts. Very quiet with sea views. Going to sleep with the sound of the sea was a real treat. Breakfast was lovely. I visited in October and Combe Martin was quite sleepy, but a perfect base for walking the coast path and exploring Exmoor.
Love love love. Home from home. We loved where we were staying, very cosy. Zak & Marcela were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble - they had thought of every need. Smart TV & Alexa, USB plugs - for those rainy evenings. Towels, hairdryer, dishwasher + tablets, tea & coffee =less packing. Pool table, table Tennis etc. 5 mins drive from Combe Martin, 10 mins Ilfracombe, 15 mins Woolacombe. Will definitely return.
The warm welcome received from Andrew the owner, the high standard of fixtures and fittings in the room. The additional extras such as Alexa, small fridge with fresh milk and the gift of fudge were very nice touches to receive.
Finally, the breakfast was the best we have ever had from any hotel or guest house we have stayed at and they also accommodated my gluten free diet. Thank you for a really lovely stay.
It's a lovely property right up the street form the beach in Combe Martin. Obligatory bed rating: very comfy, beautifully crisp but soft sheets. Slept like a rock. Michelle was an attentive and helpful host. Nice breakfast, and a well-stocked little honesty bar in the sun room, which was a godsend as very few establishments in town were open off-season (which I'd anticipated).
Fascinating grade 2 star listed building, quite unique. Our room (the Pink) was large and attractive although the shower room was very compact.
Food was good and served in a garden room overlooking a delightful rear garden. The breakfasts were generous, The dining room and bar were busy - possibly because Combe Martin has little else to offer apart from the Pack O Cards
Combe Martin is such a beautiful place. After I checked in I went for a hike to Little Hangman, but I hurried back to sit in the window of my room and watch the tide come in before it got dark (5pm in November). It was majestic. And only after the sun went down did I go to take a shower in the wonderful bathroom, bigger than my house.
The house is well equipped for a comfortable stay, we slept very well! The views are magical from everyone lounge and master bedroom. The location is fantastic too with Combe Martin only a short walk away. Brill day at Combe Martin Wildlife Park, 10 minute drive away. The beautiful beach in Woolamcombe 30 minutes by car.
The property is clean, bright & modern. It has most of the things you’d expect from a self catering accommodation but there are a few things missing. It’s location in Combe Martin is really good - with easy walking access to shops, pubs & the beach. The cottage isn’t huge but is good as a base.
Great apartment, located very close to the seafront. The apartment had everything we needed. The hosts made us feel very welcome, helping take our bags in and our children were delighted with the little surprises left for them. It was a great base to explore the north Devon coast from.
Lovely place to stay, nice location, very comfy bed, breakfast was great. Michelle was very helpful, the packed lunch option was perfect for us walking the coast path. Great communication before our visit. Combe Martin is a pretty little place to stay.
Loud music, plumbing droned like a foghorn throughout the night no-one around to help, when I complained next day to staff I was told ".Well it is an old building" I left went to Beach hostel in Ilfracombe. And spent 3 great nights there.
An especially nice location for Combe Martin, close to the harbour with adequate parking.. The room faces the street but is very quiet after 2130. Newly furnished and decorated in a cheerful Caribbean seaside theme.
Absolutely amazing hosts and a beautiful house. Will definitely be making a return trip. A little gem to be treasured in North Devon with hearty home cooked breakfast to start the day.
