– Slightly outdated decor.

+ We paid £84 for a ‘compact’ double and were worried that the room may be cramped but it was still a nice size. Very helpful and friendly staff. We went for Valentines day and there were even some roses left on the bed! Location is ideal for those wanting to be close to the sea. ALENA,

– Nothing.

+ We were going to book at one of the larger hotels but as this hotel was the same price and included breakfast we decided to choose the Ifracombe. We are so glad we did as the staff couldn’t have been more helpful; nothing was too much trouble and as we were in Southend for a funeral it was really appreciated. We had an evening meal which was excellent and breakfast was plentiful and very tasty.

We returned to the Ilfracombe again after a break of 2 years and stayed in a self-catering apartment.

#the Roman style# As usual the service was very friendly and accommodating and the appt. was clean and spacious. There are TVs in all rooms now, so our daughter was delighted.

I can recommend this as a very reasonable option to families who prefer to cater themselves and want the privacy and space of their own apartment. The location is great and the staff too. This has become our home from home when visiting the UK.

Room Tip: Top floor appartment is the best if self-catering.

A group of 30 of us booked into this hotel for the may day weekend. The check in was handled excellently and Bertie the owner and his staff were superb nothing was too much trouble. 8 of us decided to have an evening meal at the hotel and this was excellent. The breakfast was buffet style with plenty to choose from and again excellent. Will definitely return when in the area. Well done Bertie and Staff.
