Ilfracombe hotels

Pros: The Hotel overall was excellent. The accommodation was light, airy, modern and very clean. Shower cubicle was a good size. Breakfast was extremely good with a wide selection of fruit, cereal, 'build you own' full English, and homemade preserves (the ginger marmalade highly recommended!). We will certainly be returning in the future.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The breakfast was amazing and such a lot of choice all cooked to order and fresh we have never stayed anywhere so immaculately clean. to top if off the hosts Karen and Russell are so friendly and willing to help definitely will book there again if we go to Ilfracombe again

Cons: there wasn't anything we honestly didn't like

Pros: Very professional couple. High end food and house.

Cons: The room was up 2 flights of stairs - not an issue as our bags were taken up for us.

Pros: Owners are lovely people. Delicious breakfast every morning. Spotlessly clean throughout and tastefully decorated. Loved seeing the sea from our window.

Cons: For myself and partner, the beds were too firm, however a firm mattress probably suits most people.

Pros: Excellent breakfast, welcoming hosts, personal service. Property is spotlessly clean , well maintained and tastefully furnished and decorated. Comfortable bed. Large fluffy bath sheets. Sun terrace, honesty bar, books and dvds provided. Filtered water. Private parking

Cons: Would have liked a heated towel rail as towels only changed every three days. We noticed the traffic noise with the windows open.

Pros: Russ&Karen, excellent hosts , hard working, and very attentive. Rooms were excellent, very clean, lovely freshly cooked breakfast. Would definitely recommend, We , as a couple will definitely be returning.

Cons: The walk back from the harbour, steep hill, but plenty of taxis available. Breakfast time window, could do with being extended by an extra half hour.

Pros: The staff were friendly & helpful. The breakfast menu has a large selection & caters for everyone's taste's. The location is good with easy access to all the local amenities.

Cons: The ensuite was a little on the small side.

Pros: Lovely facilities, great breakfast, car parking & walking distance to the Harbor. Staff were lovely!

Pros: Very Friendly Host, Great Location, Fantastic Breakfast

Cons: Walk to town is OK unless it's raining, then it seems a bit far to enjoy

Pros: The position of the property was such as to give a superb view over Ilfracombe. Breakfasts were great and cooked to order with a good selection of pastries and cereals. Bedroom was large and comfortable.

Cons: We would have preferred fresh milk in the room but this is just nit picking really.

Pros: Gorgeous views from a very comfy and clean room. Breakfast was beautiful and Tricia even catered for my dairy allergy. Nothing was too much trouble and the location was perfect

Pros: Everything!

Pros: Location

Pros: Helpful landlady wonderful room and views lovely food.

Pros: We had a variety of breakfast during the stay, couldn't fault, Great location stunning views.

Pros: Exceptional host: warm, welcoming, relaxed, friendly and helpful. A very enjoyable stay and a fantastic local pub too (The Castle) where we spent New Years Eve with live music (they were great too). You can't go wrong if you stay here!

Cons: The only tiny thing I could say is that the bathroom was compact and the shelf under the mirror made it difficult to clean my teeth because you bang your head on it when you bend down to the sink, but that is literally it!

Pros: From check-in to checkout Tracey and John could not have been better hosts. The room was exceptionally clean and well appointed, with 'proper' hot shower! Breakfast was a very welcome start to the day, (tarragon mushrooms superb according to my wife and I recommend the full English) . Thanks to the hosts for a very enjoyable stay.

Cons: I can't think of anything that could have made our stay more pleasant. The house parrot even spoke to me!

Pros: Everything fantastic hosts immaculate room delicious breakfast and evening meals would recommend to anyone by far the best BB I have stayed in.

Cons: Perfect in every way

Pros: The property was really comfortable in a perfect location. The food was amazing and Andrew was a great host. Would highly recommend anyone in the area staying here. Excellent value for money.

Pros: Truly superb. Fresh clean rooms. Really thoughtful hosts. Great breakfast. Evening meals and cocktails to boot. Plenty of free parking.

Cons: nothing

Pros: We stayed at LionHouse on New Years Eve, and we had a great time! The welcome was great, and we were made to feel at home right away. Highly recommended!

Pros: The owner made us very welcome even making us a pot of tea and cake on our arrival . The room was clean ,well appointed and comfortable . The breakfast was excellent .

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Andy couldn’t do enough for us, his home is immaculate and his cooking superb. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thanks for having us.

Pros: Very friendly welcome on arrival. Glad to have a very quiet room at the back and generally have a quiet restful overnight stay. Breakfast menu looked really good and there was a real variety of things on offer. Unfortunately I don't have much of an appetite at breakfast but it all seemed very nicely presented and very good value in the inclusive overnight price. Also had an interesting food and drinks menu for other times of day which I didn't sample but sounded good.

Cons: Bathroom was spotless and excellent shower and good towels but as a very small inconvenience I found the tiny handbasin a little bit difficult to use and ended up splashing water on the floor. Not really a complaint, rather a comment.

Pros: The Dorchester was very welcoming - it was clean, warm and comfortable. Breakfast was nice and had a good selection to choose from. And thank you for the soya milk!

Cons: How the curtains hung meant that there was a large gap between the wall and curtain which meant that the first morning light broke through. We solved this by lifting the curtain up and propped on the window ledge. It would help if the prices for room snacks were more visible - perhaps mount on the wall?

Pros: Reasonable breakfast Excellent trust bar with excellent stock and even better prices Excellent public transport right at front door not only for town but many surrounding area

Pros: Host's superb, breakfast excellent but sadly the cleaning of the room let the hole week down, bed was like concrete, not once was our room cleaned and we had to buy some cleaning products and do the bathroom ourselves, sadly it ruined our week. Filthy to be honest, sad but very true.....

Cons: Our room wasn't cleaned, it was absolutely filthy in places, yes some people would say your at the end of the season... But is that an excuse for staying in filthy room's, No... If you can't be asked then get someone who can as this spoiled our break, basic cleaning....

Pros: Everything else

Cons: Your website said it was 800yds from the beach . It isn't.

Cons: Iron in room could be useful, one on site but missed opportunity to ask

Pros: Everything was 1st class, rooms excellent, breakfast amazing overall experience could not fault a real gem of a place

Cons: N/a

Pros: A long established Victorian bed and breakfast. The current owners, James and Lewis had only just taken over the business as a going concern in April 2019 with our visit just at the start of the "off season" in mid October. We were warned that redecorating of the public rooms had over run and it was clear from the bare walls that work was still very much in progress. The guest house was a little spartan, but there was an honesty bar, selection of DVDs and public lounge. In the bedroom was a small refrigerator stocked with complimentary bottled water with a selection of chargeable beers and soft drinks. Tea/Coffee making facilities. Small flat screen TV with DVD player. Excellent WiFi. Enjoyable full English breakfast. The package deal price was very reasonable and certainly good value for money.

Cons: The bedroom was compact with a standard size double bed. The ensuite bathroom was "bijou" with an oddly placed shelf very close to the basin. Shower worked OK, but hot water took a while to run. Bathroom fittings were bargain basement. The premises was certainly looking very "tired", but no doubt the ongoing redecorating will address this issue.

Pros: Exceptional Accomodation! Incredibly welcoming, one of the best B&B's we have stayed in! Breakfast was also amazing, very wide range of choice and brilliant service! We couldn't recommend it enough!

Pros: James and Lewis were so lovely and went above and beyond our expectations! They were really welcoming and told us about the area. They were so flexible and made our stay so much better than we imagined!

Pros: Great hosts, fabulous breakfast with lovely local produce.

Pros: lovely breakfast,very good hosts,facilities also very good.....if in llfracombe for weekend break again would stay here (if they had vacancies)

Pros: Lovely hosts, comfy bed, nice vibe and special touches. (Candles etc) breakfast also superb!

Pros: Fresh orange juice and breakfast

Cons: Served the eggs before finish the muesli. I survived

Pros: On arrival we were met by James and Lewis with a warm welcome, we were shown around and the whole place is very well presented, the in-house bar is a lovely touch and very comfortable, James and Lewis were always at hand to answer any questions and the attention to detail was spot on, Breakfast was plenty-full and tasty. I would return again even though its a little walk from the main town but substituting that with piece and comfort most certainly wins me over.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very welcoming,

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The owner was informative and helpful and the staff were friendly. The breakfast was well cooked and there was a good variety of cereal, fruit etc. The hotel was set in well tended grounds.

Pros: We had a nice welcome and our room was ready even though we were a couple of hours early. We had a very attractive room overlooking the garden, with comfortable chairs, fridge and very modern bathroom. The breakfast was good and the staff were very attentive. We only booked one night but I wish we had gone for more because we could have made more use of the terrace, garden and swimming pool especially since it was lovely weather.

Pros: Everything, nothing to dislike. Owners really friendly, good value for money. They have done everything to make guests stay as comfortable as possible and a bit more. Highly recommend.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Set in a beautiful hillside location overlooking Ilfracombe. We stayed in the Garden Room, complete with attached balcony and views over the town and the hotels extensive gardens, including outdoor pool! The room is of exceptional size and the host, Nicky, could not do enough for us. She met us on arrival and ensured we had all the information we needed for a short, relaxing break. It was my wife's birthday and a lovely bottle of wine was waiting for us in the room. A lovely touch. The breakfast room was delightful and the breakfasts were cooked to order (at a time of your choosing) with a great choice of cereal, toast, juices and yoghurts also on offer. The hotel itself dates back to 1792 and there is parking available on site. Nicky went the extra mile again by ensuring our space was closest to our room as I have mobility issues. The Garden Room, incidentally, is on the ground floor. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. We had to cut short our visit by a day but we will definitely revisit this beautiful part of England. Thanks Nicky. You are an asset to both the hotel and the town.

Cons: The weather. Not even Nicky can control that. At least not yet;

Pros: Greeted with a very warm welome. All staff were cheerful and helpful. Breakfast was served efficiently and the choices were varied. Room was comfortable and clean. There was also the opportunity to acces drinks (alcoholic and non alcholic ) from the well stocked fridge in the room.

Cons: The only thing I did not like even though it did not change my opinion of the place was the bed! It was not the most comfortable of beds I have ever slept in as it was quite lumpy and gave me a bad back each morning.
