Bed and Breakfast options are great for anyone who likes to eat out and sample the local produce, so whether you’re staying the one night or a little longer, make sure to take a look at the wide range of friendly B&Bs and guesthouses in North Devon.

Cosy and friendly places to stay

Guesthouses and B&Bs can be found all over North Devon and many of them are privately owned which means that you are likely to find a great deal or two for last minute breaks. Plus, with the owners and managers being not only onsite, but locals, you have a wealth of local knowledge at your fingertips. Your hosts are the ideal people to help you plan your day’s itinerary, as they know all the secret spots that are rarely seen by visitors and can offer advice on the best times to visit the top attractions, the best routes to take and can often recommend places to eat during your stay. Some of the B&Bs and guesthouses have agreements with attractions and eateries offering their guest’s discounts too!

It doesn’t matter what kind of stay you are looking for, the B&Bs and guesthouses in North Devon are a flexible option, so whether you’re on a romantic getaway, a group holiday or a family trip, you’ll find the right property for you. Some of the properties also offer themed stays, particularly in the towns known for certain sports or cultures and many of them are dog friendly too.

Why Stay in a B&B in North Devon?

A Home Away From Home

B&Bs in North Devon offer a warm and personalised experience that larger hotels often can’t match. With friendly hosts, comfortable rooms, and home-cooked breakfasts, you’ll feel right at home from the moment you arrive.

Stunning Locations

Whether you prefer a seaside retreat, a countryside escape, or a village hideaway, North Devon’s B&Bs are ideally situated. Wake up to the sound of waves crashing on the shore or birds singing in the lush countryside.

Local Knowledge

Your hosts are often locals with a wealth of knowledge about the area. They can recommend hidden gems, the best walking trails, or must-visit attractions that you might not find in a guidebook.

B&B offers in North Devon

Because the majority of B&Bs and guesthouses are privately owned and managed, you’ll find that the person who takes your booking is the same person that greets you at the door and prepares your breakfast the following morning. This means that you can easily adapt your stay to your needs, so if you have certain dietary requirements or have accessibility needs, you can be sure that you deal with the same person all the way through your stay and that they will make sure that you have the very best experience while in their property.

This is another reason why B&Bs are favoured by those that like exploring as they are flexible when it comes to how you spend your days. There are no set meal times or times for you to exit your room for cleaning, so you are free to spend your holiday as you like, which makes them ideal for those that like to be out and about all day.

B&Bs often have communal breakfast areas, meaning that you can easily make friends if you’re travelling alone and pick up ideas of things to do in your spare time. Many of the B&Bs in the region have won awards both nationally and internationally for their level of service and of course, the quality of their breakfasts, take a look at the range of B&Bs and guesthouses below.

Whether you are looking for five star luxury or something run from a family home, B&Bs and guesthouses are a great choice for anyone looking for a more relaxed and informal stay. Hotels tend to have an impersonal feel to them, while B&Bs tend to be located in former houses or as a section of the owners’ home, so there is a more personal touch here. Also as privately owned accommodation, you can often find last minute deals and bargains too - see B&B offers here.
