“This Victorian property presents sea views from its elevated position, a noteworthy advantage for any stay in Ilfracombe. The warmth of the hosts and the quality of the breakfast, particularly the fresh fruit and extensive cooked options, clearly make a significant impression. It strikes a confident balance between a welcoming atmosphere and a location that grants easy exploration of the harbour and town.”
