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.

A super friendly, immaculately clean and well equipped place to stay. We stayed in the family room and used the bike storage under the place. A really lovely vibe about the place. We stayed two nights.

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!

The Devonian is a complete delight, the decor, the friendliness, the delicious breakfast, the location. Terence and Piper went above and beyond to make sure our stay was everything we wanted it to be. We stayed in the Olive Room which was beautifully decorated with such attention to detail. Thank you so much x

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!
The hosts were very welcoming and informative. There is a wide variety of choice for breakfast including full Devon breakfast meat/vegetarian or fish - smoked haddock/kippers, fruit, continental etc. The service was excellent. Room was cleaned as requested daily. Eco-friendly measures were implemented. We stayed in room 4 and the room was spacious, clean and the bed was comfortable. The location of the hotel was convenient for our purposes of exploring the local area via the coastal path walks and the harbour.
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.
The fact ChamberCombe was so close to Hele & Ilfracombe.They were in easy walking distance.
The location was very quiet & the Hayloft apartment was detached so we were not having to keep that quiet like we would in a hotel or guest house. Overall it was a very relaxing, enjoyable, restful time which we were both looking for. We would definitely book this apartment 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.
Very nice hotel, with lots of original features, ongoing renovations but they don't impact on your stay. Nice airy rooms with excellent quality bed linen and towels, nice surprise was the small fridge, breakfast was freshly cooked and plenty of choice, very pleasant walk into the centre of Ilfracombe
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.
breakfast briliant one of the best b&b breakfasts i've had room lovely and clean host very polite but down to earth and nothing seemed to be a trouble to her we could,nt of asked for more we were on the boundry to ilfracombe a great spot to visit nearby city's in north devon if you drive
The Devonian was such a lovely place to stay - the rooms was lovely with lots of special touches. Piper and Terence were beyond friendly and helpful and the whole place was so beautiful - great views, decorated so nicely and the most amazing breakfast spread! We will definitely be back!
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
loved the view from the window on the top floor and sitting on the window seat looking out over ilfracombe. The bed was comfortable and the hosts mum and dad (who were looking after the place while they were on holiday) were lovely and welcoming.
The hotel is central to everything in Ilfracombe. The room was lovely, spacious and immaculate. Breakfast was delicious, hot and well cooked. The whole hotel was lovely, clean, warm and comfortable.
Great location, near the harbour beach, quick run across the road for the dog in the morning - off leash beach run, perfect. Very comfortable flat, welcoming bottle of wine on arrival.
We had a lovely stay in this really spacious, well equipped flat. Everything was thought of and the location was very convenient close to the harbour.
Would definitely stay again.
Clean and fair sized room. Easy access and central location. Good hot shower and a nice TV which was a godsend as there is nothing to do in Ilfracombe after 9pm.
Breakfast was ok. Bed was comfy, location is pretty good. Ilfracombe is a lovely little town. Lots of hills so if mobility is an issue you may want to re-think.
