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.

Welcoming staff
A very welcoming atmosphere and the room was good value for money. Unfortunately, there were a lot of hairs on the floor of the bathroom, so it could have been cleaner, but otherwise no complaints

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.

The staff went out their way to help find a suitable room for us as my wife is disabled.
Ideal to walk to town and down to the harbour.

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,

Staff very helpful & parking at hotel!
Location is central but ilfracombe, close to seafront and harbour. Easy to get to by car!
Hotel is very dated and run down needs a serious revamp. Shower not powerful at all, bed rock solid.. walls so thin other guests keeping us up all night.
We booked hotel last minute due to our air b&b being cancelled …
£100 for 2 nights we weren’t expecting great things…

Lovely friendly hotel
This is our 3rd stay. The rooms have been upgraded and we had a nice view. We are always made to feel welcome by the wonderful friendly people on reception. We arrived early but were able to leave our bags in reception. Parking is payable and you need to arrive early. However, we know the area well and thete is free on-steet parking nearby if you know where to look.

Breakfast was good and plentiful and well served, Dinner not so good, selection was poor, probably because l was the only guest for dinner must be difficult to cater for one. The service was good, but selection of menu was not good for me.
