Very warmly staffed. Shower was good, always a win. Friendly open communal areas that worked well. Perfectly located for hubby who was diving. Felt safe for our teenage boys growing independence.10pm noise curfew was followed by all, much appreciated . It Reminded hubby and I of a place we stayed in Australia, one world backpackersin Perth. Exactly what we had expected.
Set in Ilfracombe, near Wildersmouth beach, Ilfracombe and Watermouth Castle, Sandpiper Inn B&B and Pub has a bar. This beachfront property offers access to bowling in the bowling alley and free WiFi....

We enjoyed exploring Ilfracombe and the surrounding area.
We enjoyed exploring Ilfracombe and the surrounding area. We had good weather and walked some of the cliff path, as well as around the harbour area.
We had a look at Verity and went up to the little hilltop chapel.
We found good restaurants and a couple of pleasant pubs as well as a cafe for breakfast 😋
It was warm enough to have a swim at the Tunnels beach!
We got special toasties from the deli. en route to the harbour and found a seat with a view to eat them!

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.
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.
We stayed in Laurel Dean cottage which is one bedroom and all ground floor. It has a small garden with table and chairs perfect to relax after a busy day sight seeing. Property was in a good location within walkable distance to Ilfracombe harbour and town. Took about 20 minutes but be warned it is a generally hilly area as is all of North Devon. Ample parking is available for all cottages. It was extremely clean and had all kitchen equipment that you could need
The room had a great view of the sea and harbour area. The hosts were so welcoming and Sharon suggested lots of good places to eat and visit during the stay. Breakfast is fabulous. Lovely lounge for guest use. Only about 10 minutes to walk into town down a path most of which is away from traffic. Take the Ilfracombe Princess trips - got to see the seals and porpoises! Had great weather and wonderful stay.
The owners were extremely welcoming, surprisingly serving Tea and Scones by arriving. Best breakfast I had during my stay in North Devon. Absolutely delicious. Bathroom and room spotlessly clean. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts. Thanks again for „acting as a taxi driver“ to Woolacombe, making my troubles less complicated. Once in Ilfracombe again, I would definitely stay at Grosvenor House.
Our room had a sea view which was lovely and the room was a large size.
Due to coronavirus the rooms weren't serviced every day, but we were told to ask if we ever needed anything, but we managed just fine.
Breakfast was very nice and set us up for the day. The staff were very friendly too.
The hotel is a short walk to the harbour, seafront, shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay here
The location was convenient, the room was decorated beautifully with a lovely view. It was spotless and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. The service from Piper and Terence was second to none. They were extremely helpful and very friendly. Would 100% recommend The Devonian to anyone travelling to the area.
Very warm welcome, nothing too much trouble. Very convenient location. Gave me lift to car park to save walk with cases. Lovely view from room. Ideal for short stay. Lovely breakfast. This is a higher quality hotel compared to most in Ilfracombe. It is definitely a go to place to stay if unsure if area.
Lovely top floor apartment ...great views over Ilfracombe. Clean and spacious. Comfy beds too, Lots of contact with host prior and during stay very helpful. We did not meet host but was given lots of useful info and was immediately contactable when we got confused over which apartment we had!
All staff/owners were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. we were made to feel very welcome and we would definitely stay at the Harcourt again and have already recommended it to a friend.
The breakfast was excellent as was the bar service!
Thank you everyone at The Harcourt Hotel.
Beautiful, big and comfortable room in a lovely building, with staff offering a very friendly and efficient service. I feel it's the kind of place you could stay in for longer, as it's not cramped and situated in a nice part of Ilfracombe. I'm definitely recommending it to friends.
Really nice place , hosts are helpful and friendly , lovely well kept and organized place to stay . Breakfasts are very nice , rooms are large and really nice . Had a great week here . Bus stop at end of driveway to ilfracombe , woolacombe , Barnstaple .
Beautiful location😍, nice and quiet, next to the harbour. Heated pool was lovely ☺️ very friendly staff especially the man that show us to our caravan and told us everything we needed to know about the park.
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.
We have stayed in quite a few hotels in ilfracombe but this was by far the best equipped and most homely place we have stayed in. If you add that to the view then its a no brainer
Hotel is situated in a quiet backstreet but close to all ammenities. Lovely sea-view from the room we were in. Staff and in particular the owner were very friendly and helpful.
