Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Clovelly?
The best area to stay in Clovelly is within the village itself, particularly along the main cobbled street that winds down to the harbour.

This unique village is entirely pedestrianised, with donkeys traditionally used for transporting goods up and down its steep, cobbled main street. Staying within the village offers an unparalleled experience, with whitewashed cottages, small shops, and pubs located against the hillside, all leading down to the picturesque harbour. You'll find yourself surrounded by the sounds of the sea and the gentle clatter of hooves.

Couples looking for a romantic getaway will find the village an ideal spot. The quiet evenings, stunning coastal views, and the charm of staying in a historic fishing village create a truly memorable experience. You can enjoy strolls down to the harbour, dine at local inns, and wake up to the sound of the seagulls, all within a truly unique setting.

For travellers who prefer easier access and modern amenities, staying just at the top of the village, near the visitor centre, is a practical alternative. This area provides convenient parking and is still only a short walk from the top of the famous cobbled street.
When is the best time to go to Clovelly?
The best time to go to Clovelly is from late spring to early autumn, specifically May through September, to enjoy the most pleasant weather and fully experience the village.

During these months, the weather is generally mild and comfortable, making it ideal for exploring the steep, cobbled streets and enjoying the harbour. The village's gardens are in full bloom, adding to its beauty, and the extended daylight hours mean you have more time to wander and take in the coastal views. These months also see the most activity in the village, with local shops and eateries operating at full capacity.

For those who prefer a quieter visit without the peak season crowds, May, early June, or September are particularly good choices. The weather is still favourable, but the village is less busy, allowing for a more relaxed and peaceful experience.
