Nice little restaurant with great meals as part of the B&B. Breakfast was just as good and plenty of it. Andrew was a very good host. Would stay again.

The facilities were exceptional, the staff were friendly, polite and nothing was too much for them. I would highly recommend Kentisbury Grange and will definitely be going back.

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!
Very welcoming host. Excellent breakfast choices including Eggs Benedict and delicious croissants. The room had all facilities you need and a large selection of streaming channels on TV. We were only passing through the region but liked the hike to Blackchurch Rock and the visit to Dunster Castle & Cleeve Abbey. Ilfracombe is only a short drive away but preferred the quiet surroundings of Combe Martin.
Awesome guest house. The decoration of the guest rooms, the breakfast, the sun terrace for the guests - everything is done with great attention to detail and to make you feel good. I also recommend the village of Combe Martin. The beach is great and there are several pubs and shops in walking distance.
Lovely quiet site, stunning views, great location 5 mins from ilfracombe 15 to woolacombe beach (driving) Combe Martin is lovely
Will deffinatley be coming back
Site was clean and reasonably priced
Accommodation was clean and the view was beautiful.
Spotlessly clean, very central in Combe Martin, staff were friendly and incredibly helpful, and the full english breakfast was huge and delicious with plenty of other offerings on the menu too!
