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.

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…

Think twice!

This hotel looks nothing like the pictures on Hotels.com. We had no hot water, the room was so hot we were up half of the night. It doesn’t meet the standards of a basic room. The staff were lovely and are unfortunately working for what I expect is a sinking ship. Bank holiday weekend and only 9 rooms booked. Barely saw another person during our stay there.

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

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.

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.
