Royal Britannia Hotel, hotel in Ilfracombe

Located in the picturesque Devonshire town of Illfracombe is the Royal Britannia Hotel.

The room was clean and spacious. Beds were super comfy. I slept like a log and we spent the majority of our time on our beds so the fact that we were comfortable was ideal. Breakfast was filling and freshly cooked. My son had the kippers which made a nice change for him as it's not something usually offered on a breakfast menu. I had the full english as I'm a creature of habit, both of which were just what we needed to set us up for the day and very reasonably priced too. We booked in advance which saved us a couple of pounds but would have happily paid the full price. Christmas day lunch in their sister restaurant was amazing and well worth the price. The staff in both sites were amazing, helpful, polite and courteous.

The Earlsdale Bed and Breakfast, hotel in Ilfracombe

I highly recommend The Earlsdale Bed and Breakfast! Owners Jim and Lewis’ professionalism, passion, creativity, and attention to detail shined through in everything from the chic design of the B&B, to the vegan and gluten free chocolate that awaited me in my room (custom to my specific dietary restrictions). My room was spacious, luxurious, and comfortable. As an interior designer, I especially appreciated the soothing interior lighting and high end design materials and finishes, all of which came together to blend modern luxury with the unique historical elements of the building. The included breakfast featured a beautifully laid self service station with homemade and locally sourced delicacies. I very much enjoyed the “Full English” that Jim so kindly prepared for me, which accommodated my strict vegan and gluten free diet. I’m confident that my friends who enjoy meat and dairy would have also been very satisfied with the other unassuming, yet elevated hot breakfast offerings. Thank you Jim and Lewis for being such attentive and accommodating hosts! I very much look forward to staying at The Earlsdale again in the future!

    Ilfracombe is a lovely place to visit, however please be aware how hilly it is. Walking down to harbour is easy but the return journey can be a bit of a slog. Had gluten free fish and chips from Lynbay fish and chip shop. Gluten free cream tea from St James tea garden. Wasn't overly impressed with the beach as it mainly slate pebbles, but Woolacombe is not far away with golden sands.

    Many part of this town including its HIGH STREET are looking terribly run down and rough. So too some pubs ... I'm sure it will perk up in higher season but money needs to be spent on its appearance . The streets felt as safe as most places in Britain and some Bistros and cafes were delightful. Roads are narrow and some extremely vertiginous . Parking can be an issue in high season I guess.

    Ilfracombe is worth a visit and is probably better in the summer than when we visited. We preferred Woolacombe and Puttsborough beach is great for surfing. We walked around Baggy Point and saw some amazing views. Well worth a visit.

    There were some really lovely parts of Ilfracombe and some not so nice , like most towns . Most of the architecture is stunning with old and new together but some new don't fit in. The scenery on the coast is amazing with lots of craggy coves and you can walk along the South West Coast Path . There is a small harbour where a stunning Damien Hirst statue is of Verity ,Statue of Justice if I remember correctly Parts of Ilfracombe are quite steep but there are slopes and some roads on the flat. We ate Sunday lunch at the Thatched Inn , had Breakfast at the Lime Kiln Cafe down by a cove . We loved it.

    Lovely rugged coastline all still very natural.

    Lovely rugged coastline all still very natural. The town however was a little disappointing in terms of felt a bit run down and lacking in investment in some areas. Worth a visit altho not too long as I think more useful to use as a base to travel than a holiday in as wasn’t enough to offer.

    As we were attending a wedding it was a good location for us but probably not the right time of year for shopping etc as most of the shops were empty or closed down. I'm sure its much better in the summer!

    A lovely hotel, clean and welcoming and a great location for wandering around Ilfracombe. Kirsty's attention to detail made the trip for us - recommendations of places to eat, visit, bookings etc. The rooms were spotless and well stocked. The breakfast were simply amazing - cereals, fruit, yoghurts, the full cooked, kippers - the list goes on. A well run family hotel and such value for money. Totally exceeded our expectations We will most definitely be booking again.

    From the moment we arrived till the moment we left both Nicki and Johnah really made our stay special. From going above and beyond with Breakfast due to our dietary requirements to helping us with parking and we’re just always on hand to help. We will definitely be returning to Ilfracombe and wouldn’t stay anywhere else. We had the top floor room with views of the gorgeous town, the room was beautiful decorated and immaculate.

    Very stylish hotel, 15 minute walk down hill to centre . Owners were so friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. Breakfast cooked to order and were excellent. Ilfracombe is very hilly so if you have mobility problems I would look to stay nearer the town centre where its flat. Overall excellent and would definetly stay there again

    Great location for visiting Ilfracombe and north devon in general. Heather was a lovely host welcoming and friendly. The room was comfortable clean and tidy. The ensuite had a good shower and was a decent size. Parking was limited but free on the drive way. Really liked the garden area which offered an alternative to sitting in our room.

    We ( a family of seven) have just had a wonderful three nights at Slipway. It is perfectly located to explore Ilfracombe and the wider sights of North Devon. The house is very spacious and very well equipped. The host was easy to communicate with and gave us great advice regarding where we could park etc.

    The hotel was selected as it needed to be near where my friends were staying. It was an ideal location within easy walking distance of all parts of the town. Unless venturing further afield there is no need for the car to move while staying in Ilfracombe with everything pretty much on the doorstep.

    A very cosy base for a few days in Ilfracombe and North Devon. It was a short walk in to Ilfracombe with some excellent restaurants and pubs. Everything you needed for an easy self catering holiday was provided. Communication with the owners was excellent. I will almost certainly aim to return.

    Location was good, just a few minutes drive from Ilfracombe, inorder to board ship to Lundy Island and a short drive to Exmoor Zoo. Large bar and restaurant were good. Bar manager was excellent, great customer service. Short distance from Tesco, short walk if not wishing to drive.
