An award-winning adults-only guest house on the South West Coast Path, with harbour views and a locally sourced breakfast menu.
About The Collingdale Guest House
The Collingdale Guest House sits directly on the South West Coast Path in an elevated position above Ilfracombe, with panoramic views across the harbour to Damien Hirst's Verity and the cliffs of Hillsborough Nature Reserve beyond. It is run as an adults-only retreat by owners Sharon and Daryl.
The nine bedrooms are individually furnished, six with sea views and two with private balconies, and the guest house has picked up recognition including a KAYAK Travel Award, largely on the strength of its breakfast, which uses handmade sausages and free-range eggs alongside vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
Its position on the coast path makes it a natural choice for walkers, while the adults-only policy and quiet, elevated setting also suit couples looking for a peaceful base close to the harbour.
