    It was spotlessly clean everywhere and just the little things like lovely coasters, crystal glasses flowers and ornaments made it the best we have ever stayed in. Nothing was too much trouble and the breakfast was superb. Darryl and Sharon are...

Sharon & Daryl Furmston
Your hosts, Sharon and Daryl, bought The Collingdale in 2003, drawn in by the splendid, panoramic views and its position overlooking the harbour. We spent several years refurbishing all the rooms and lovingly restored it to a very high standard throughout. We are very proud to have been awarded 4 Star Silver and a Breakfast Award by the AA several years running and take great pride in what we do. We offer a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and you can be assured of a warm welcome.
We are keen walkers ourselves and love sightseeing, so having explored the whole of North Devon, are happy to offer advice on where to go, what to see and recommend places to eat. Ilfracombe is situated directly on the South West Coastal Path and has a thriving, picturesque, historic harbour and some very fine restaurants, plus is an ideal base from which to explore North Devon and Exmoor. We do hope you will choose to come and stay with us soon.
