A nice hotel in a lovely location - the view from the window was absolutely stunning! Also very quiet with a nice garden so great if you like walking and want to relax.

The breakfast was simple but still very tasty. I did wish it was available till 11 or 12 though, rather than 10
Quietly situated in Ilfracombe, the family-run Avoncourt offers a bar and terrace with panoramic views over the seaside resort.

We had a lovely break. Heather, Alison (and her mum) were so friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. We’ve not been anywhere we felt so comfortable taking our dog. He will be back for his breakfast sausage! In a nice quiet area, slept like logs on the comfortable bed and breakfast was lovely. Short walk to the harbour and if you’re feeling a bit lazy for the walk back, the taxis will take dogs! Highly recommended!

It was clean, quiet, airy, with comfortable beds, excellent recycling. Everything was clearly explained in signs, good for neurodivergent people.

Hosts were welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. The house was clean and pleasantly decorated with a good amount of outside seating in the garden. Location was great, only a short walk to the centre.
A family-run hotel set in the seaside resort of Ilfracombe, Palm Court B&B is a 3-minute walk sea front and shops and just a 1-minute walk from Tunnels Beaches.
The hosts were lovely and the breakfasts were superb
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.
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.
This B&B is quite close to the Ilfracombe Harbour and centre (roughly 20 minutes walk and less than 5 minutes drive) the area is quite green and it is a very quiet place to stay at. It's quite close to a lot of the places we planned on visiting.
Room facilities were quite alright, selection of teas, coffee, hot chocolate and complimentary mini chocolates, fridge with still water and milk. Shampoo, shower gel and soap provided and a hairdryer.
Cute seating area by the window, perfect to read a book
Andrew and Nick were the perfect hosts, the Hotel was close to all amenities and a good base to explore north Devon’s outstanding coastline.
Excellent breakfast every morning was a great start to the day.
The added bonus of on site parking was a real plus in a town that has very little street parking. 10/10 all round
Very nice hotel, with lots of original features, ongoing renovations but they don't impact on your stay. Nice airy rooms with excellent quality bed linen and towels, nice surprise was the small fridge, breakfast was freshly cooked and plenty of choice, very pleasant walk into the centre of Ilfracombe
The hotel was selected as it needed to be near where my friends were staying. It was an ideal location within easy walking distance of all parts of the town. Unless venturing further afield there is no need for the car to move while staying in Ilfracombe with everything pretty much on the doorstep.
The property was exceptionally clean which made us feel very relaxed. The sea view from the front room was amazing and unique for the town. It was close to the local shops. Hosts were really friendly and welcoming. Quiet at night, slept very well.
the location is excellent ,, fabulous views from our accommodation , staff were always happy to help in answering questions or recommending places to visit ,there’s a coastal path which takes you over to ilfracombe harbour , Hot tub lovely also .
Newly renovated, clean, comfortable, lovely apartment, with everything you need and lovely view of the sea. Located near ilfracombe harbour and central to visit other lovely places in Devon. Would definitely recommend and use again.
lovely location in beautiful countryside but within walking distance of Ilfracombe .The hotel was newly decorated,cosy room with great views of the surrounding countryside.Hosts were friendly and breakfasts were first class.
Very pleasant staff and clean and comfortable apartment with sea view as requested. Also did a surprise raffle upon check in! Very good base for exploring North Devon! Lots of car park spaces. Will definitely come back.
We regularly visit Ilfracombe and we love this hotel. It’s by far the best we’ve stayed in there. I’ve also stayed there as a single female traveller and have always felt perfectly safe and comfortable.
The room and the Hotel was very clean, bed was comfy and seating area, good views from the windows excellent shower and wash room, good size TV. Would use again when I return to Ilfracombe.
We had a lovely stay in this really spacious, well equipped flat. Everything was thought of and the location was very convenient close to the harbour.
Would definitely stay again.
