The Cedars Inn by Greene King Inns

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed for one night en route to a North Devon holiday. The room was excellent, spacious, clean and well laid out. A very comfy bed meant a good night's sleep. Bathroom even had a bath. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and had a very good meal. Breakfast was also excellent with a great choice all freshly cooked. Plenty of easy parking and outdoor space. Definitely worth staying and would do so again."

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Clovelly is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers visiting Clovelly, securing cheap accommodation directly within the village itself can be a challenge due to its unique, privately-owned nature and limited lodging options. Instead, consider staying in the charming nearby towns of Bideford or Bude, which offer more affordable hotels, guesthouses, and bed & breakfasts, all within a reasonable driving distance of Clovelly.

Bideford, a historic port town, provides a wider selection of budget-friendly accommodation and is just a short drive from Clovelly. Solo travellers will find its town centre walkable, with local pubs and cafes offering reasonably priced meals. You can easily catch a local bus from Bideford to the Clovelly visitor centre, making it a practical base for exploring the area without needing a car every day.

Alternatively, Bude, a coastal town slightly further afield, also presents good value. It's known for its lovely beaches and offers various guesthouses and smaller hotels that cater to a more modest budget. For solo explorers, Bude provides a relaxed atmosphere and opportunities for walking along the South West Coast Path, which is a free and invigorating activity, before or after a trip to Clovelly.
When is the most affordable time to visit Clovelly?
The most affordable time to visit Clovelly is generally during the shoulder seasons – late autumn (October-November) or early spring (March-April) – outside of school holidays and the peak summer months. During these periods, you'll find accommodation prices are lower, and the village is less crowded, offering a more tranquil experience.

For solo travellers, visiting midweek within these shoulder seasons can lead to even greater savings on guesthouses and B&Bs. The weather might be a bit cooler, but the charm of the village remains, and you can enjoy the cobbled streets and harbour views without the bustling crowds. Many local eateries may also offer special deals outside of peak times.

While Clovelly itself charges an admission fee to maintain the privately owned village, this fee remains constant regardless of the season.
Is Clovelly a budget-friendly destination?
While Clovelly is generally considered more expensive than some other villages, travellers can absolutely experience its charm on a budget with some smart planning.

The main village itself is privately owned and requires an admission fee for entry, which covers the upkeep of this unique historic site. However, once inside, many of the village's delights are free to enjoy. Solo travellers can wander the picturesque cobbled streets, admire the whitewashed cottages, and soak in the breathtaking coastal views without further cost.

Couples can pack a picnic to enjoy by the harbour or on the pebbled beach, avoiding the higher prices of the village's eateries. There are also lovely free coastal walks to be had in the surrounding area, offering stunning vistas of the Bristol Channel and the opportunity to spot local wildlife. Parking can be a significant cost, so consider car-sharing if travelling with others or exploring public transport options to nearby larger towns and then walking or taking a local bus.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Clovelly for you.

Is it cheaper to book a Clovelly hotel and flight package?

Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options.
