Saffron House Hotel is a very nice, comfortable B&B to explore North Devon. The hotel is very clean, quiet and breakfast is very good. Would stay again.
Nice accommodation - ideal location for the town and the beach. Friendly staff and good breakfast choice. Clean and pleasant rooms. Free parking onsite.
We had a great stay and the accommodation was exactly what we needed. Fantastic location, the staff (and other guests) were very friendly, great selection for breakfast and the pool was perfect for the kids. Highly recommend.
Short three night stay, David and Diane made us feel welcome, nice and clean, breakfast really really nice, relaxed atmosphere didn’t use the pool but it was available. Very pleased with the stay, many thanks.
Lovely friendly couple , good breakfast choices, private pool and garden Close walk to the beach Enjoyable stay Could do with a washing line to dry towels and swimwear
Friendly staff, hotel in a very good location , only 10 min walk to the town centre and the beach . Host was very friendly and nothing was too much . Breakfast was superb!
I would definitely stay there again
Clean and cosy family room, we all slept really well. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and set us up for the day. Diane and David are really lovely and helpful. Our girls really enjoyed the pool especially! Will be back, for sure.
The hotel is a well run traditional U.K. Seaside B&B.
Everything was very clean and well maintained.
The owners were very friendly and helpful.
Provided your expectations are reasonable, Saffron House represents very good value for money.
Beautiful location and really cute little place with friendly team. Fabulous vegan breakfast that was a lovely surprise. The towns very pretty. Nice living room to relax in and in good weather there seemed to be a lovely outdoor space
This Hotel is a hidden gem off the high street with beautiful gardens & terrace and the option of a small heated pool to enjoy! The Hotel is clean & fresh with very comfortable beds in a fairly good size family room for three. Breakfast was fabulous & the hosts were happy to offer packed lunches and pizzas, with a selection of cold drinks from the bar. The hosts were so lovely, kind & helpful & made our stay there very welcoming.

Saffron House B&B Combe Martin
A very warm welcome was given by the couple when we arrived. Our room was comfy and clean and had all the usual amenities you would expect.
There was an outdoor pool and a very nice decking area which was very inviting.
A very tasty breakfast was had the next day with very attentive service.
Lovely property ideally located in Coome Martin. Very quiet and peaceful. Lovely gardens with outside pool. Dave and his wife are very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are delicious and nothing is too much trouble. We had a great time staying there and is an ideal base to explore Devon! Parking is a little tricky on a bit of an upslope but there are plenty of spaces available. We will be back again when in Devon.

Great breakfast, parking fine outside , a little steep the hill, good location , walkable to beach. Room quite dated as well as bathroom. Water pressure issues as well as temperature stability issue in the shower. Vary difficult to wash children with water charging from boiling too ice cold within secondo.

Die Gastgeber waren freundlich, das ganze Haus ist in die Jahre gekommen. Im Badezimmer waren die sanitären Anlagen überholungsbedürftig, die Dusche funktionierte nur wenn man sie durch Ziehen an einer Kordel einschaltete (was wir nicht wussten, und dadurch wir die Dusche nicht benutzen konnten) ein schriftlicher Hinweis im Bad wäre sinnvoll. Das Toilettenpapier hing hinter einem, so dass man sich verrenken musste um daran zu kommen. Das Frühstück war gut.
I stayed at the Saffron as I was attending a friends wedding at The Arches wedding venue. This hotel was a great location as only a 10 min walk to the venue, beach & shops. I didn’t venture outside the village. There are loads of places & other beaches near by to venture out to, so this hotel is an ideal base.
My room was very clean & airy with a great view. The owners were lovely & welcoming. Breakfast was great & they had a good choice of fruit/cereals or cooked breakfast to order.
I would highly recommend The Saffron Hotel.
