Clean tidy no noise I’ll stay again
Stayed 1 night in May 2025

The room was as expected. Good location and views. Had researched this so knew parking was nearby which was fine. Obviously recently refurbished but it must have been on a tight budget. Everything seemed to be done cheaply and not very well. Disappointed that the decor didn’t do justice to such a historic building

They were really careful about keeping everyone safe. Room was spotless and had everything I needed. Only one downside. Just be aware that the third floor is a long way up to have to carry your luggage! The guest house is perfectly positioned for the harbour

Attentive staff, an excellent central location near the harbour and well prepared clean rooms made this a very pleasant two night stay. We would most certainly book again next time we visit ! Communication prior to staying was excellent including thorough directions, information about the room and an unexpected call just before we arrived (on time) to say the room was ready and did we need any help.

Plenty to do here at harbour lights as it is situated central to everything eg harbour, shops, restaurants, sea and beach and beautiful walks around the cliff.

Het hotel ligt zoals de naam doet vermoeden lekker dicht bij de leuke haven. Het is tevens in de nabijheid van restaurants en theehuizen (Theehuizen die vreemd genoeg echter wel omstreeks 16:00 uur dicht gaan). Vanuit Ilfracombe zijn mooie wandelingen te maken.

We spent 2 nights at the harbour lights. The owners were very friendly, welcoming. Check in and out were quick and easy. The B&B is clean and the room had everything I needed. It's in a nice location right by the harbour

Glad we picked this B&B. No parking but there isn't any hotels with parking in Ilfracombe, you can pull up outside,drop off & use a carpark round the corner. Large rooms & 1 min walk from quay. Friendly owners and they give you a key and leave you to yourself - the way I like it.

We had such a relaxing stay with Steve, Ruth and Nic, who made us so welcome that it was like staying with good friends. We were impressed by the cleanliness of "The Harbour Lights" and also by the excellent breakfasts. Exceptional value for money and we would have no hesitation in recommending it. Thank you all it was great meeting you, hope we meet again. Mags and Jack.

A very friendly welcome from Ruth. With regard to parking - You have to go round the corner and pay around £3.10 for the whole day. Overall the stay was pleasant with everything we needed in the room. Bed was comfy. Some noise from the pub next door on the Saturday but didn't disturb our sleep too much. Great location - and close to the restaurants. Would recommend.
