    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

    We stayed at The Devonian for four nights last week. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and went out of their way to check we had everything we needed. The breakfasts were delicious with a great choice. The great attention to detail and cleanliness throughout the property was amazing. We stayed in The Pullman Green Room which overlooked the gorgeous gardens. Free parking on site. Walking distance of Ilfracombe harbour and the shops and restaurants. Would definitely recommend and definitely stay again if visiting Ilfracombe.

    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.

    The drive there was wild, wet and windy. It was quite late and dark. Eventually I found myself driving really slowly down windy narrow lanes into Ilfracombe. The postcode took me directly too a very convenient car park. The hotel had a nice bar with Doom Bar on tap. The room was just right. I had to leave early for my work in Barnstaple so missed breakfast. Luckily there was a Wetherspoons in Barnstaple to the rescue. I think I will book in again for a quiet few days soon.

    Excellent value for money - we had a budget room which was more than adequate for a short stay. Everything was provided (hairdryer, toiletries, iron etc). Very welcoming and friendly hosts. A lovely comfortable bed so we slept really well. There's a nice cafe/coffee shop on the ground floor which looked very inviting but we had already made arrangements to have breakfast elsewhere unfortunately. We will be making The Symphony our hotel of choice when we visit Ilfracombe.

    Our room had a sea view which was lovely and the room was a large size. Due to coronavirus the rooms weren't serviced every day, but we were told to ask if we ever needed anything, but we managed just fine. Breakfast was very nice and set us up for the day. The staff were very friendly too. The hotel is a short walk to the harbour, seafront, shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay here

    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

    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.

    Central location in Ilfracombe, close to beaches, harbour and tow centre. Beautifully clean and well presented bedroom with good facilities that was also very quiet, given its town centre location. Jonah and Nicki were perfect hosts.

    What did I like? To be honest, not a lot. I only booked here because everywhere else in Ilfracombe was fully booked - having stayed there now I know why this hotel was the only hotel in Ilfracombe that had vacancies.
