7.4/10 Good! (418 reviews)
The staff were very friendly, polite, and very helpful. The room was clean enough, but lots of the bathroom features didn't work very well, such as just about no water coming out of the taps. Overall, low cost and enjoyable.

Enjoyed the sea breeze and view. Little boutiques, unique sea critters, the drinks, the little details that made Ilfracombe different than anywhere else I've been to. Especially more fun with friends and family.

Be sure to visit the harbor at both low and high tide, it’s the second biggest tidal change in the world.
