“Wonderful food and welcome.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2011
2
people found this review helpful

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 and Collette are the perfect hosts, friendly and accommodating.

We're looking forward to a return visit.

“A hidden gem of a hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2010

Just had to write a few words on this fantastic little place. If you want a romantic weekend with lots of amazing scenery to visit (and just look out of the hotel at) this is the place.

Have stayed here twice, both times in one of the front facing rooms with the four poster beds. My tip is to leave your window open if the weather permits and be serenaded by the many owls in the woods surrounding the site. It's a real experience!

“Wonderful ...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2010

...... that's all you can say. Location, food, views, room, wine list, hosts,company and even the weather (6th to 10th April). This place is great in Spring - we will be back during the other seasons just to check them out as well ! This small hotel was a great find.

“Britain's best kept secret”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 April 2010

Chanced upon this very special hotel and what a find! Colette and Martin are superb hosts, very professional yet warm and friendly. Food you would consider excellent in a 5 star hotel. Absolutely immaculately clean, comfy beds, amazing views, breakfasts cooked to perfection. Set on a wooded cliff it is unbelievably quiet. Cannot recommend this hotel highly enough and am telling everyone who will listen that they must go there! Will definitely return.

“Magical location, attention to luxurious detail and exceptional food.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2010

If you want a quiet and beautiful location, peace, luxury and food of the highest quality - go no further. The Woody bay Hotel is a very special venue and the hosts cut no corners in terms of their attention to detail and providing the best ingredients for exceptional menus.
