The Sherborne Lodge is located in Ilfracombe, a pretty seaside resort on the North Devon coast, with rugged green cliffs and an Iron Age fort standing 377 feet above sea level. There is free Wi-Fi throughout and free parking on site.

The light and airy breakfast room looks out over the patio, and the award-winning morning menu includes pork sausages and thick-cut bacon. Lighter options like pastries, cereal and fruit are also available.

Rooms at The Sherborne Lodge have simple décor and come with a TV and tea and coffee making facilities. Continental plug adapters are available on request.

The building is set in Torrs Park, a 10-minute walk from the town center, with its variety of shops and restaurants. The cliff-top elevator at Lynmouth is 40 minutes’ drive away.

This is our guests' favorite part of Ilfracombe, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.

Host Info

Host Review Score 8.9

The property is over 200 years old and so I hope you will enjoy the quirky charm of the old property, and not expect a Premier Inn. Guests usually appreciate the Full English Breakfast and our friendly attitude to guests..

We aim to run the guest house as a home from home experience. We like the guests to have the relaxed atmosphere of their own home. For this reason we positively encourage people to bring their pets as we know they will feel more relaxed.
