    fine view

    It was just a well-suited match for a quick stop in Ilfracombe with very good value for money. The view was fine during breakfast on the terrace despite some service issues. Be mindful of the weather as seating can get wet outside.

    golf experience
    poor dining options

    The fine sea view from the hotel is amazing. We also had a fantastic time at Ilfracombe Golf Club, where the scenery was just as excellent as the golf. Perfect for a family escape!

    In my wife's opinion, the food options were really lacking.

    fine view

    The staff were friendly and helped me carry my bags up those narrow stairs. The view from my room was fine, just what I needed after all that chaos.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but for what I got, still acceptable.

    comfortable bed
    nice furniture
    stuffy room
    tired decor

    We stayed in a classic double room with sea view. The view was amazing and definitely the highlight. The room felt comfy with a nice king size bed, but it was a bit stuffy at night since there's no air conditioning. The furniture seemed a bit cheap and the decor felt tired. We enjoyed the experience but there's room for improvement.

    wonderful balconies
    accessibility issues
    limited facilities

    The amazing views from the room was nice, sipping tea on my balcony while watching the sunset paint the sky. The peaceful gardens were a good retreat, perfect for leisurely strolls.

    More accessible facilities for senior guests would be helpful.

    great food

    The views were fine, and we loved hanging out at nearby spots like the golf club and exploring the local area. The staff in the restaurant were friendly and the food was great. Just a heads up , the check-in process could be smoother, as there was a bit of confusion there.

    sea view
    gourmet dishes

    Fine, fine, fine.

    The sea view from our room was pure magic, with waves crashing against the cliffs and sunsets that took my breath away. Drinks on the terrace were a vibe! The gourmet dishes served during dining were really good, especially the locally-sourced seafood that had us raving.

    friendly staff

    We loved the fine views and the friendly staff at the restaurant. We visited the local golf club for some fun and spent a day exploring the beautiful seaside. It was a fantastic getaway.

    It wasn't clear that we'd be staying in a different building from where we thought we'd be.

    really good dining
    cramped room
    room change issues

    Really good dining experience and amazing views.

    I had to change rooms twice , frustrating. The last room was cramped and stuffy. I felt that the hotel should have considered offering a refund for the night I couldn't stay due to the inconvenience of the room changes.
