Hot and cold drink making facilities are provided in the bedrooms.  A fridge is available in the hallway, for all B&B guests to use.
We do not serve evening meals, but they can be purchased at Cook Island, which is about 1/2 mile away, up the hill, away from Ilfracombe.
An early breakfast can be ordered, from 7.00 am - 8.00 am.  This will be a limited choice, and not the full menu.  We must me notified the night before.

Group Bookings.

Depending on how many are in the group our system doesn't really change from individual bookings.  The group leader will have given the names of all the group to us, and we will know who will be going together, and how many in each room.  Information can be sent to just the leader, or multi sets of information to the leader, depending on numbers and criteria.  In any event the first person to arrive must come to check in at the farm house, and then we can discuss the estimated times of arrival for the rest of the group.
