brilliant stay at the Olive...

Liked: the bedroom was amazing with three different views of ilfracombe - all splendidly composed in the windows. the bed and mattress were really good too.the breakfast and food in the bistro were excellentthey were very flexible about evening meal as I am vegetarian and my wife didnt want much!
Disliked: the bathroom and shower could be improved. there is a need for a non slip mat to fit into the bath when having shower. or a handle or bar to hold onto when getting in and out of the bath. otherwise it was great.
