Varley House - Book Direct

One night stay prior to a visit to Lundy, but the owner allowed us to park the car there during our island stay, which was very helpful. Nice room, beautiful bathroom, lovely location. Nice breakfast. Would stay again.

We stayed at Varley House in the first week of June. We were given an upstairs room that looked out towards views at the back. The room was airy, bright, clean, quiet and spacious with a welcoming coffee station and a chair. The bathroom had a walk in shower which was newly renovated. We were invited to park on the drive (being a one night stay). We wished we could have had more time in Ilfracombe but we were just passing through. The breakfast was freshly cooked and plentiful. Our host Rod, was very welcoming and friendly and was incredibly knowledgeable about South African history. We (being South African's now living in Dorset), marveled at his explanation of how Varley House got it's name. Rod also has a fascinating collection of old books and novels. We will definitely stay again at Ilfracombe and Varley House will be our first choice.

Stayed here in 2023. The hosts were absolutely fantastic, very accommodating and welcoming. The house itself was gorgeous with lovely views over Ilfracombe. We were treated to a lovely breakfast, and they offered an exceptional vegetarian option! They were so helpful in finding local places to visit. Lovely stay.
