Score Valley Country House offers the personal service of a guest house with the tranquillity, space and comfort of a country house hotel. This splendid 18th century residence holds pride of place with commanding views over this secluded unspoiled valley, which has hardly changed over the years. The narrow lane leading to the circular drive ensures that the front of Score Valley Country House has remained one of Ilfracombe’s best kept secrets.

With ample parking for all our guests we believe we can offer you a peaceful undisturbed holiday or short break and a perfect base from which to explore the wonders of Exmoor or North Devon’s finest sandy beaches at Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton Sands. Although we appear to be in the middle of the countryside it is only a pleasant 20 minute walk from the hotel to Ilfracombe with its beautiful working harbour, shops, restaurants, Tunnels Beaches and other attractions.
