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!

    Great fish and chip and ice cream shop.

    Great fish and chip and ice cream shop. Lovely walk up to the hill with fabulous views. Sadly, lots of shops closed or closed early. Need more interesting shops in the high st. The Nest, florist, chocolate emporium were definitely the best.

    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. 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.

    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.

    plenty of choice and extremely well cooked and served breakfast. The location is perfect for local amenities and for getting around north Devon. only a short drive to beautiful Woolacombe beach, a place we have visited many times over 50 years. Ilfracombe has a wonderful selection of restaurants and many enjoyable walks.

    Dinner and breakfast were excellent. The service was exceptional. The proprietor was engaging, informative, friendly and ready to cater to our welfare. This was the best reception we received after having stayed in several hotels in the southwest over a two week period. The room was modern and clean.

    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.
