The Earlsdale Bed and Breakfast, hotel in Ilfracombe

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 breakfast was exceptional. My husband is vegetarian and was very happy to be offered vegetarian sausages (apart from the usual eggs, mushrooms etc). Besides the freshly cooked breakfast, Cairn house also have the cereal, fruit and yoghurts available. We're so grateful to have been upgraded to a better room that had a beautiful bay window overlooking the front of the house, with views of ilfracombe and distant sea views. The room was very spacious and obviously comfortable, as well as the bathroom.

    I actually booked this for my daughter & son-in-law as a short break for their birthdays. Unfortunately my daughter fell on arrival in Ilfracombe ( before even getting to Acorn Lodge). The owners were so helpful, when she ended up on crutches / in medical boot after trip to A&E. Nothing was too much trouble. They loved the hotel, the breakfast ( including the veggie option) and location so close to the harbour. They couldn’t speak highly enough of it and would love to return one day.

    A lovely hotel, clean and welcoming and a great location for wandering around Ilfracombe. Kirsty's attention to detail made the trip for us - recommendations of places to eat, visit, bookings etc. The rooms were spotless and well stocked. The breakfast were simply amazing - cereals, fruit, yoghurts, the full cooked, kippers - the list goes on. A well run family hotel and such value for money. Totally exceeded our expectations We will most definitely be booking again.

    There wasn't anything not to like about The Rocky Cove. Jonah and Nicki were very welcoming and hospitable. The bedroom was clean and fresh and has everything for a relaxing stay. We had a bath with a separate shower which is a winner. Breakfast was filling and so much choice. Would highly recommend and if we find ourselves in Ilfracombe again we shall look them up!

    We were visiting Ilfracombe for a wedding at The Tunnels, so the Bathhouse Hotel was perfect as it's just across the road from the venue. But the hotel is also very close to all amenities of the town and with the coastal path two minutes walk away we didn't stray far from Ilfracombe at all for the time we were there. We had such a lovely time.
