The room was clean and spacious. Beds were super comfy. I slept like a log and we spent the majority of our time on our beds so the fact that we were comfortable was ideal. Breakfast was filling and freshly cooked. My son had the kippers which made a nice change for him as it's not something usually offered on a breakfast menu. I had the full english as I'm a creature of habit, both of which were just what we needed to set us up for the day and very reasonably priced too. We booked in advance which saved us a couple of pounds but would have happily paid the full price. Christmas day lunch in their sister restaurant was amazing and well worth the price. The staff in both sites were amazing, helpful, polite and courteous.

The Devonian is a complete delight, the decor, the friendliness, the delicious breakfast, the location. Terence and Piper went above and beyond to make sure our stay was everything we wanted it to be. We stayed in the Olive Room which was beautifully decorated with such attention to detail. Thank you so much x

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!

The little extras were a nice surprise things like extra toilet roll, body wash and the slippers! Loved it and the breakfast was spot on too! My daughter was excited for the mini cereals and the extras that were included for her!
Lot of thought went in to making our stay comfortable which was great!

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!
Terence and Piper were excellent and accommodating right from the start. This is a lovely and really well thought through hotel where the care and attention to detail from the owners can be seen throughout; from the fantastic colour scheme and decoration, to the comfy beds and delicious breakfast. This was our first visit to Ilfracombe and I couldn’t recommend this place enough.
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!
Good location with parking. Few minutes walk to town and harbour. Matt and Amanda are excellent hosts, very friendly with loads of local knowledge about best places to visit, eat etc.
The bedroom beautifully decorated and clean. Bed very comfy. Bathroom spotless. Good shower with plenty of hot water.
Excellent choice for breakfast.
Good WiFi connection.
We attend a wedding at The Tunnel Beaches, This Hotel/BB is less than one minute from the main gate. The staff are helpful and friendly. The breakfast was great with a large selection to choose from. The room was a good size for a family room with all the usual items. Its the perfect location to stop at
Everything was lovely! Rod is a wonderful host and so helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was exceptional as well.
You can walk to the harbour within 10mins, we always got a taxi back for less than £4. Great location will definitely be back! Thanks again Rod!
Location superb, literally yards from the Tunnels Beaches, and the Catholic Church (ideal for Easter Sunday Mass) and 10 mins walk from the harbour
Good breakfast
Clean and comfortable room
Friendly and helpful host
Single malts in the hotel bar
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.
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.
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 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.
Location was fine - a great walk down into Ilfracombe harbour - quite steep on the way back up. Hotel was brilliant. Proprietors were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was top class - thank you
The location was perfect for visiting Ilfracombe and surrounding areas.
The hotel owners were lovely - very helpful, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. And breakfast was excellent!
The hotel was ideally situated for the resort and our travel to work at the Ilfracombe Holiday Park, just 4 minutes away. Our breakfasts were excellent and the room was very comfortable.
