Liked: Room comfort
The room was as expected. Good location and views. Had researched this so knew parking was nearby which was fine. Obviously recently refurbished but it must have been on a tight budget. Everything seemed to be done cheaply and not very well. Disappointed that the decor didn’t do justice to such a historic building

Great service

They were really careful about keeping everyone safe. Room was spotless and had everything I needed. Only one downside. Just be aware that the third floor is a long way up to have to carry your luggage! The guest house is perfectly positioned for the harbour

Very pleasant hotel - we'd stay again.

Attentive staff, an excellent central location near the harbour and well prepared clean rooms made this a very pleasant two night stay. We would most certainly book again next time we visit ! Communication prior to staying was excellent including thorough directions, information about the room and an unexpected call just before we arrived (on time) to say the room was ready and did we need any help.

Gezellig dicht bij de haven

Het hotel ligt zoals de naam doet vermoeden lekker dicht bij de leuke haven. Het is tevens in de nabijheid van restaurants en theehuizen (Theehuizen die vreemd genoeg echter wel omstreeks 16:00 uur dicht gaan). Vanuit Ilfracombe zijn mooie wandelingen te maken.

Good B&B close to harbour

We spent 2 nights at the harbour lights. The owners were very friendly, welcoming. Check in and out were quick and easy. The B&B is clean and the room had everything I needed. It's in a nice location right by the harbour
