Breakfast was too expensive for a continental style at £14.50. Only 1 pillow on the beds and no evening meal so had to find another hotel. No 24 hour reception as advertised and no fee car park either. Decide we could not stay another night due to poor compliance with advertisement.

Friendly staff, great location for the museum, theatre, seafront and harbour. There is a bus stop right outside for Barnstaple for shopping. We asked if we could have a ground floor room when we booked and that was what we were given. The bathroom was large and very clean. We had to leave early as our granddaughter was unwell and the night staff were very helpful. We would stay in this hotel again. Only downside was the decor was a bit tired in our room.

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.

Staff were great. My room was a good size ( I had a double room). Curtain was hanging off one side. Shower curtain was also hanging off. Shower was broken, so I could not put it up higher on the pole. Bath mat had mould on the underside of it. Breakfast was nice, with a varied choice of food.

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.

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.

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.

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
