In a peaceful, secluded valley between Ilfracombe and Woolacombe, this splendid 18th-century country house is surrounded by gardens, woodland and streams. In a quiet location, the Score Valley Country House Hotel is 1 mile (1.6 km) from Ilfracombe; a 5-minute drive or a pleasant 20-minute walk from the High Street. Hidden from the road in its own valley behind a band of tall trees, the hotel makes a great base from which to explore the vast sandy beaches of North Devon's golden coast or the wonders of Exmoor. The attractive, tranquil grounds surround the hotel's car park, which is free for guests. All of the spacious and comfortable rooms are individually furnished and equipped with all the necessary comforts and facilities. Family-run, Score Valley Country House Hotel takes great pride in its relaxed, friendly atmosphere and locally sourced home-cooked food. The hotel is open all year round.
