8/10 Good
"Good experience, staff are very helpful, for a business trip it’s great value, I paid for Dinner, B&B for two nights. Room was clean and housekeeping changed towels and made bed on second day which I wasn’t expecting. Good facilities just needs some tlc in some areas. Overall typical Green King property and no complaints."

"The hotel is well overdue for a makeover, the staff, however, are excellent, although they forgot to service our room on a 2 night stay. The room was extremely disappointing, being both small & very, very scruffy. The position of the hotel is absolutely perfect for exploring Ilfracombe, if staying again will book direct with the hotel and ask for specific rooms, in all a very enjoyable visit, apart from the accommodation, the breakfast was excellent!
