We had an exceptional weekend in Ilfracombe. After a lengthy journey Paula greeted us with tea/coffee and biscuits, plus an excellent brief of the local amenities including restaurants and nice places for drinks. Our rooms were spacious and immaculate, with smart interior design. We fell in love with Bovril (aka Bov) the dog. He led us independently through the field... More

We chose Norbury House as our hotel for the weekend of our wedding in Ilfracombe and were so glad we did, everything about it was friendly and relaxing. it just topped of what was an amazing weekend. Our first impression was arriving at 1am, to find a key layed out, welcoming lights on and a lovely congratulations card from Paula... More

I can't remember how many times I've already stayed at Norbury House. I'm not having a "senior moment". It just confirms my view that it is such a welcoming, relaxing and comfortable place to stay, with each visit being as good as the previous one. A lovely dinner at Espresso and a further trip to restaurant heaven La Gendarmerie resulted... More

What a welcome! After a long and meandering drive down from leicesteshire to be welcomed by Paula, a pot of tea and biscuits and Bovril the beautiful black lab, we knew this was going to be a great stay. Paula and Adam are great hosts, giving you as much help and advice on local area and eateries as possible. The... More

We booked a couple of nights in Ilfracombe to have as a base for exploring the local countryside. Norbury house is well-located and we were warmly greeted by Adam when we arrived. It really is a lovely building, and the owners have done an excellent job making it stylish and comfortable inside. Definite highlights included the lounge bar where we... More

We stayed at Norbury House for one night on Valentines night. It’s a lovely house that feels stylish and welcoming. We were greeted by Paula, who took the time to explain about the local area and also made some calls to local bars and restaurants regarding availability. (make sure you visit the bar Eklectick) The room (number 5) had a... More

I can't believe I've not written a review of this amazing place before now! We have stayed at Norbury House four times now, over the past few years and think Paula and Adam are the best hosts we have ever stayed with. Norbury House is a lovely place to be, good views, perfectly out of the way of the town... More

Difficult to improve on previous comments. This is a 4star hotel with 5star owners, amazing breakfasts and incredibly relaxing. Adam, Paula and Bovril are wonderfully welcoming and brilliant hosts. They will help you plan your day/s and certainly know the best places to eat! Great value for money More

This was the 7th (I've lost count) time I've stayed with Paula, Adam and Bovril. It's less like staying at a hotel and more like stopping with friends now. The honesty bar probably sums up the atmosphere and whole experience better than a 1,000 words - but I'll have a go at the words anyway! You will be assured of... More
