    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

    The apartment is good-sized and clean. The owner has provided all the expected mod-cons alongside some nice extras such as board games, DVDs and books. There are some lovely views out towards the sea, hills and coastline. It's a short walk downhill towards the charming harbour and beach area with plenty of eateries and attractions to fill a day. Head in the other direction, towards the town centre, for supermarkets and convenience stores. Overall a pleasant stay in Ilfracombe, which is a great base from which to explore North Devon.

    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.

    The breakfast was exceptional. My husband is vegetarian and was very happy to be offered vegetarian sausages (apart from the usual eggs, mushrooms etc). Besides the freshly cooked breakfast, Cairn house also have the cereal, fruit and yoghurts available. We're so grateful to have been upgraded to a better room that had a beautiful bay window overlooking the front of the house, with views of ilfracombe and distant sea views. The room was very spacious and obviously comfortable, as well as the bathroom.

    This little hotel is in the perfect position as it's a 10minuties walk to town but also just next to the start of the coastal path, a stunning one! There is parking outside and a little terrace with view in which you can sip a drink from the honesty bar at sunset. The owner is lovely and has a lot of tips for places to visit or where to eat. Higly recommended for a stay in Ilfracombe!

    The Royal Britannia is a great budget hotel. It's situated right next to the harbour with great views from the terrace. Our room was very comfortable with a nice en-suite and we slept very well. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely stay in Ilfracombe and recommend the Royal Britannia Hotel.

    the hotel owners Violet and George were absolutely perfect hosts in every sense, and made us feel immediately at home. Also the whole place was spotlessly clean and tidy, so all in all we had a great experience and would certainly recommend Palm Court hotel to anybody else wanting to visit Ilfracombe.
