Our sleep was ok, but it wasn’t what I expected from the photos. A good clean of the carpets would help and better amenities. I don’t think it was worth the price I paid.

Ok for short stay, noisy drain in road at front of hotel, every time a car ran over it, it was like a gun going off in the night, good breakfast, Ilfracoombe seems to be shutting down, derelict buildings and hotels all around, would not go there again.

Honestly up there with the worst hotel I’ve stayed in. No fans, rooms were absolutely roasting. Shower didn’t have a door or a curtain so water just goes everywhere. The bed was so uncomfortable and everything about it was just dingy… learned the following day it was used recently to hone asylum seekers and now I know why. Will not be staying there again…

I was booked-in for only one night without breakfast, so did not have the full B&B experience. Reception was friendly and helpful. The single room was comfortable with all that I needed for a very early start the following day. Definitely value for money and would use again given its very convenient location to all attractions including the harbour.

It’s an absolute bargain to be honest. Could probably do with a bit of renovating but can’t argue with the price at all.

Lovely welcome from the staff on reception. Room was clean and comfortable, bathroom and shower cubicle was quite small. We stayed on a room only basis so can’t comment on breakfast or other meals. Unable to park at hotel but no problem getting into the nearby Jubilee gardens pay and display which is only a couple of minutes walk away. Main reasons for not giving a higher rating are that the hotel is showing its age and needs refurbishment, especially in areas like the stairs and corridors, and also because the room was very hot and even with the window open it was too warm and felt airless. We stayed when temperatures were not particularly high for the time of year and I would not have wanted to be in that room during a hotter spell. Overall the hotel offered very good value for an overnight visit and we would stay again if we return to the area,

Entering the warm friendly reception area, you are greeted with smiles and laughter, and the staff are so friendly and chatty, making check in a breeze. The bedroom was spacious and clean, and the shower was large and had good water pressure. Evening dinner was delicious it was a 3-course meal – Fish Goujons for starter and Chicken and dauphinoise potatoes for main and fruits of the forest cheesecake for dessert. Bingo was on the go for the residents after dinner, loads of laughter and people having a really good time. My bed was comfy and a had a good night’s sleep. Breakfast was a full English breakfast and once again the meal was delicious. Ilfracombe is a town worth visiting so many things happening and the harbor is beautiful and of course Verity that is an amazing piece of art work standing at the entrance of the harbor, so much to do in the town and around the town – art classes, chocolate making classes and a History tour of Ilfracombe as well as smugglers talk and ghost hunting. Jump on a boat and head over to Lundy Island to see the Puffin birds and the beautiful scenery. Swim with the seals, off you go on a boat, jump overboard and swim with the seals. Great hiking trails and gorgeous beaches and even a theatre (Landmark Theatres) with some amazing shows across the road from the hotel. Golf courses are plentiful in the area and are definitely a must for the avid golfer, making Ilfracombe and Dilkhusa a place to see. I will be back!

This was our 4th visit and as usual the standard was good Nice friendly helpful staff. Clean spacious room and bathroom with nice shower. The hotel offers breakfast and evening entertainment but we had other things booked. A nice reasonably priced hotel at a convenient location. Would recommend

Great location. Big room. Clean But only problem was child safety wasn’t that great. Because the door can be opened by the child easily from inside in the room.
