Perfect location for a comfortable and quiet stay, Martin continues his great offerings from the kitchen, Collette most helpful and welcoming. Good location for coastal walking. We stayed early in the season, delighted to find that some trees previously blocking the view are now taken down by parks staff. The view from our room was spectacular. Did a walk from... More

The Woody Bay Hotel Is officially a 2 star hotel - in reality more a 4 star hotel. We stayed in room No 1 ,which is really big and has a nice view facing seawards. The king-bed is incredibly comfortable and so is the big bathroom. Dinner was amongst the best we had on our entire trip through Britain .... More

Spent 2 nights at this wonderful hotel. Don't really know where to start. Our room was spotlessly clean and spacious as was the bathroom. The view across the bay was superb. Martin and Collette were exceptional hosts..very friendly without being intrusive. The 3 course dinner menu was absolutely delicious with plenty of choice....it was heavenly... The location of the hotel... More

Lovely rooms, amazing sea views, short walk to the secluded woody bay beach, where we swam and watched the wild dolphins- food was superb and good selection of wines. A thoroughly pleasant weekend! We would thoroughly recommend this hotel and look forward to another chance to visit, and will hopefully stay for longer next time.

We found Woody Bay by accident when looking for a place to stay for our anniversary some years ago. Since then we have been back four or five times. I simply love staying in the peaceful and tranquil surroundings of Woody Bay. The hotel is nestled within wooded areas with sea views. The walks and views are breathtaking. Hunters Inn... More

This small hotel is a real gem if you like the sea, spectacular views and coastal walks. The zigzag road down to the hotel passes though moss and fern encrusted oak woods, which give the impression you are travelling through a fairy tale land! Collette and Martin are perfect hosts and Martin is a superb chef. The dinner menus were... More

I have stayed at the Woody Bay Hotel several times and it does not disappoint. The journey from London is long but as soon as tea is poured on the verandah and you take in the view and peace and quiet, you fall under the Woody Bay spell. The hotel is run by a very friendly couple Martin & Collette... More

Back for a return visit in April. Very quiet location with lovely views across the bay to Wales. Food is absolutely wonderful and we can't understand why it isn't packed out with visitors, especially gourmets and walkers. Close to Exmoor and to North Devon Coastal Path, it's a lovely spot to unwind. Rooms and bathrooms are modern and comfortable. Martin... More
