A group of three of us stayed at Varley House prior to travelling to Lundy and on the evening of our return. One of the reasons for choosing Varley House was that we were able to leave our car there for the duration of our stay on Lundy. On arriving at the house we were greeted by Rod and a... More

Stayed here for one night whilst on our way to a surprise 50th party in nearby Georgeham. We found the owners very friendly and welcoming, they had no issue putting three of us up in one room at a very reasonable price. The views were lovely from our sttic room and just a short walk down to a nice local... More

Following the warm welcome and apparently custom hot drink and biscuits, I was given a brief tour of the facilities before being shown to my room. The owners couldn't do enough, ensuring my stay was comfortable and relaxing. The food was excellent along with the whole ambience and location.

This is by far the best guest house I have experienced in Ilfracombe. I stayed here the night before the wedding (at Tunnels Beaches) and got ready here on the day, along with several family members (age range from 18-78!). I was originally recommended Varley House by a work colleague, and i'm so glad I took note. Ilfracombe is a... More

Our whole family stayed at Varley House for my eldest daughters wedding which was held at Tunnels Beaches in Ilfracombe. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left we were treated like Royalty - nothing was too much trouble for Rod & Helen. The place is completely spotless! We were relaxed from the minute we walked in the... More

Unlike some B&Bs the owners were happy for you to arrive any time from 3pm to 10pm; you didn't have to be more specific than that when booking. The welcome was very warm and we were offered tea and biscuits before being shown to our room. The room had a four poster bed, which was picturesque but slightly too big... More

Sorry about the 4 Poster bed, but we are aware of the problem and at the end of the season we will be re-jigging the rooms and the 4 poster bed will be moved to a larger room. If you would like to stay with us again while going to lundy let us know that you have been before and... More

Rod and Helen were good enough to offer us one of the nice seaview rooms (room 8) at short notice (no harm in asking!) and we enjoyed a fabulous sunset. Breakfast very tasty too. Helen told me they've only been the owners since November and they do make you feel very welcome with a pot of tea and biscuits on... More

It's easy to find just of the main road into Ilfracombe in a nice quiet location. It's a nice walk into town for plenty of restaurant choices but uphill on the way back! Breakfast was very good with cereal choices, yogurt, fruit, juices, toast and full English cooked to order. Couldn't really fault a thing!
