4-star Georgian manor house on 3 acres of woodland with sea views
Amenities
Laston House sits on 3 acres of private woodland and gardens, offering a tranquil retreat above Ilfracombe harbour. The property provides free on-site parking, a rare benefit in this coastal town, along with a shared lounge and TV area for guests to relax. Outdoor furniture and a picnic area are available in the garden, and board games and puzzles are provided for family entertainment.
Rooms
The 8 rooms at Laston House include Deluxe King Rooms, Double Rooms with Sea View, and Super King or Twin Rooms with Sea View. Each room has a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV, and views of either the sea or the garden. Room 6 is noted for its elegant furnishings and large windows with 180-degree sea views.
Dining
A full English or Irish breakfast is cooked to order each morning, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available. Breakfast includes warm dishes, juice, and locally sourced ingredients such as gluten-free sausages and bread. Guests also receive complimentary tea, coffee, and biscuits on arrival.
Location
The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Ilfracombe high street and a 5-minute stroll to the harbour shops and restaurants. Nearby beaches include Wildersmouth beach (1,000 yards) and Ilfracombe beach (0.7 miles), both reachable on foot. Lundy Island is 33 km away, and Exmoor National Park entrance is 6 miles from the property.
Activities
Guests can enjoy hiking and cycling from the hotel, with the South West Coast Path directly accessible. Watermouth Castle is 3.4 km away, and Kopffortress is 800 metres from the property. The hotel is also pet-friendly, accommodating well-behaved pets in designated rooms.
“The generous parking and peaceful garden setting are immediate comforts, leading to thoughtfully appointed rooms where the king-sized beds and crisp linen promise true rest. Mornings begin with a well-cooked breakfast, highlighting local produce, and the hosts' easy charm and local knowledge truly elevate the stay. It's a place where the grand house feels welcoming, just a short walk from the harbour bustle.”
