The Earlsdale Bed and Breakfast, hotel in Ilfracombe

An adult-only guest house which offers free WiFi access and free parking, The Earlsdale Bed and Breakfast is located within walking distance of Ilfracombe Town Centre and harbour, and the historic...

Wow! is what best describes Lewis & James’s place. If you’re looking for a beautiful place to stay with perfect hosts then this is the place for you. Beautiful decor all through the house and bedrooms. All the bathroom products are sustainable products down to ‘who gives a crap’ toilet rolls. I’d forgotten my shampoo but noticed the little slab of Devon soap that said you could wash your hair with it and I thought no way only to eat my words as it was amazing and left my hair so soft. Then breakfast the next day and I can honestly say it was the best breakfast I’ve ever had anywhere, Lewis brought fresh fruit out then showed us all the other stuff like overnight oats, croissants, cereal, yogurts, jams , fresh orange juice and this was before our full English with quality bacon & sausages and beautiful homemade bread toasted. I would definitely recommend this place if you like quality all round. Thanks again Marie & Alan

    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.

    As we were attending a wedding it was a good location for us but probably not the right time of year for shopping etc as most of the shops were empty or closed down. I'm sure its much better in the summer!

    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.

    Perfect stay at the Earlsdale. The owners could not have been more helpful, and really made us feel at home. The standard of the breakfast was exceptional. The location of the Earlsdale is ideal - a short walk into Ilfracombe centre, but still peaceful and private. The hotel itself is thoughtfully decorated and very clean; we especially liked the personal touches in each room, and the beautiful garden. Thank you.

    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

    A very cosy base for a few days in Ilfracombe and North Devon. It was a short walk in to Ilfracombe with some excellent restaurants and pubs. Everything you needed for an easy self catering holiday was provided. Communication with the owners was excellent. I will almost certainly aim to return.
