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!

Ilfracombe town is a solid favourite of mine, boat trips, fish and chips by the harbour, walks, cream tea (hele corn mill). Watermouth Castle. Newly opened place to eat The Lime Kiln Cafe. Coastal walk to Hele. Chapel of St Nicholas
This was one our favourite hotel stays ever. It surpassed expectations.
Comfortable, spacious, stylish and relaxed.
Adam and Paula are warm and professional, and serve a top notch breakfast. They are great ambassadors for Ilfracombe, sharing their knowledge of the best things to see and do in the area. And there are so many! We will have to come back.
Thanks for a wonderful holiday!
(Ps: Other reviews mentioned parking being tight, but it’s was absolutely no bother).
Hosts were very organised and helpful, ensuring check in was seamless through a message beforehand detailing self check in information, as well as providing an online information guide about the area. The room was very spacious and comfortable, with a lovely view overlooking Ilfracombe. A short drive into town, or a walk downhill (the walk back is all uphill).
One of the few positives of The Symphony Ilfracombe is it's location; the hotel is on the seafront promenade, overlooking a small beach and was perfect walking distance to restaurants and bars in the town. Some of the younger staff were friendly, greeting us when we came in and helping us with parking information. The price of the hotel was also satisfactory.
Good location with parking. Few minutes walk to town and harbour. Matt and Amanda are excellent hosts, very friendly with loads of local knowledge about best places to visit, eat etc.
The bedroom beautifully decorated and clean. Bed very comfy. Bathroom spotless. Good shower with plenty of hot water.
Excellent choice for breakfast.
Good WiFi connection.
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.
Andrew and Nick were the perfect hosts, the Hotel was close to all amenities and a good base to explore north Devon’s outstanding coastline.
Excellent breakfast every morning was a great start to the day.
The added bonus of on site parking was a real plus in a town that has very little street parking. 10/10 all round
Anne-Marie was exceptionally accommodating and made us feel more like visiting friends than guests. The breakfast offerings exceeded our expectations in variety and quality. The location is excellent being close to the High Street, the harbour front with all its restaurants and activities as well as the Coastal Path.
The location was convenient, the room was decorated beautifully with a lovely view. It was spotless and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. The service from Piper and Terence was second to none. They were extremely helpful and very friendly. Would 100% recommend The Devonian to anyone travelling to the area.
Everything was lovely! Rod is a wonderful host and so helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was exceptional as well.
You can walk to the harbour within 10mins, we always got a taxi back for less than £4. Great location will definitely be back! Thanks again Rod!
Right in the centre of Ilfracombe. It is an older hotel with comfortable rooms that are clean and serviceable. The staff could not be more helpful. Whenever I asked for something they were helpful and responded to requests promptly. I would happily stay here again.
Location superb, literally yards from the Tunnels Beaches, and the Catholic Church (ideal for Easter Sunday Mass) and 10 mins walk from the harbour
Good breakfast
Clean and comfortable room
Friendly and helpful host
Single malts in the hotel bar
The hotel is finished to a very high standard. Check in was excellent. The room was finished to an exceptionally high standard, with a small veranda overlooking Ilfracombe. Breakfast was a 10 put of 10.
We’ll be back.
Amazing three days at the Earlsdale. Lewis and James are superb hosts, friendly, accommodating and taking care of every detail. Gorgeous room and hotel, very comfortable and a brilliant overall stay in Ilfracombe.
Its clean, close to everything you need to see in ilfracombe. Close to bus stop. The staff is very approachable through text or call. Theres a nice common space and kitchen. The room is clean as well.
The room and the Hotel was very clean, bed was comfy and seating area, good views from the windows excellent shower and wash room, good size TV. Would use again when I return to Ilfracombe.
