Top Ilfracombe Hotel Reviews

The Royal Britannia

8/10 Good

"We *loved* its location -- right on The Quay, its historic importance, and the comradery of the staff and guests in its downstairs pub over the water. Also, no other Americans."

The Sawmills

10/10 Excellent

"The whole experience was a very good one"

The Rocky Cove Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"It was well appointed and very comfortable and had everything we needed. Jonah was extremely helpful and gave us lots of information about potential parking places as the B&B does not itself have a car park. We only stayed one night and were fortunate enough to secure one of the parking places immediately in front of the B&B for which there was no charge until 10am the next morning. All very satisfactory."

The Olive Branch

"Jo was very helpful and accommodating. Lovely property and I had a nice time. Very good value and would love to spend time there again."

Saffron House Hotel

"We had a comfortable room and had a great breakfast. David and Diane made us very welcome."

Cairn House

10/10 Excellent

"Booking at the last minute, we had been braced for Cairn House to be a run-down B&B, but we were pleasantly surprised to find it was a pleasant, comfy, and well-maintained gem. Our bed had one of the comfiest mattresses we've found in a hotel bed, which were apparently in all the rooms. The owners were friendly, and went out of their way to make sure everything was clean and tidy. All in all, absolutely worth a visit."
