An impressive building situated along a private drive and about a 15 minutes walk to the harbour. The route is downhill from the property to the harbour. It is not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. The room (3) we had was of a good size, comfortable and clean. There was a lovely view from the room window. The breakfast was freshly cooked and very tasty. There is Wi-fi but we were unable to get it upstairs. There is parking on the property. We had a comfortable stay.
Laston House is a beautiful residence well located on foot, with free parking spaces. There is a wonderful restaurant right next door serving excellent seafood!+ (The Thatched Inn) Abi was very accommodating for check-in and check-out times, and pleasant. The breakfast in the morning was delicious, served in the impressive residency's dining room, was delicious. The rooms are decorated with taste, lovely to stay in, especially with the vie over the town and sea! Lots of privacy. Thanks for the wonderful stay
A real gem. We spent two nights in this fantastic house. Great location just 10 minutes walk to the harbour. Relaxed friendly service, superb breakfast and great value for money. Highly recommended.
This is a beautiful house set in lovely gardens but only 5 minutes walk from the harbour. Our room was very spacious and comfortable and beautifully decorated - our hosts were very friendly and accommodating- we arrived early and they were perfectly happy for us to leave the car whilst we pottered into town. Excellent breakfast with local ingredients and the bonus of a 17th Century Inn 2 minutes walk away.
Laston House is a beautiful and incredibly well-run Bed and Breakfast, offering a wealth of amenities. We attended a wedding and arrived very late at night due to bad weather on the way. However, we were able to get into the house and our room as arranged in advance (thanks, Abi, for being so understanding), and we felt so comfortable and warm in our gorgeous, huge room. It was so tastefully decorated, with elegant furniture that added luxury and uniqueness to the room - beautiful. The room was extremely well designed, using the beauty and dimensions of this period house to guests' advantage, so lots of beautiful period features. Our bed was HUGE and incredibly comfortable, lovely light flooding into the room through the original sash windows, and when we wanted darkness, the excellent heavy curtains blocked out all of the light. Beautiful bedding - you will not want to get out of bed. All this, plus a modern bathroom, with lovely towels, an excellent shower, perfect temperature water and lovely locally made soap. And when we went to have our breakfast, we got a very warm welcome, and enjoyed the excellent vegetarian options and loved that there was something for everyone. The gardens were stunning too, and we picked up a few brochures about places to visit, which was a thoughtful addition, as we hadn't been to this part of the world before. We stayed 3 nights and didn't want to leave! The house itself is so beautiful, and I can imagine that the cottages and the house, when hired as a self-catering whole house, is a real treat. Abi and Greg are superb hosts, warm, professional and completely caring for their guests' needs. I highly recommend Laston House for your visit to this beautiful part of Devon, whether it's with a partner, family or kids you will not be disappointed at all.
Wow, what great accommodation, spacious and clean very well equipped, lovely to be greeted with tea, coffee,milk and sugar , also some lovely scones with jam and clotted cream,these little touches make all the difference. Location was very peaceful and Ideal for access to the town,parking and WiFi all good, we would love to stay here again.
We LOVED our stay at the stunning Laston house it felt like a home away from home, room was spotless & our bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was very nice and the hosts were super friendly made sure we had everything we needed. Made a fuss of our 1 year old daughter Margot which was lovely too. Thanks for a fantastic stay we will be back to laston house.
Beautiful place to stay. The atmosphere is so peaceful. The accommodation is well looked after, it's very clean and welcoming. There is a pub nearby and in walking distance to tall local amenities. The harbour is a short walk away. Highly recommend.
An 11-minute walk from both the Ilfracombe Aquarium and the ferry to Lundy Island, this unfussy B&B on 3 acres of woodland is a mile from Tunnels Beaches.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Ilfracombe. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
