Great Location For Ilfracombe Harbour

Liked: Excellent location by Ilfracombe harbour. Perfect for catching the morning boat to Lundy, which was the purpose of our visit.Clean linens. Good towels.
Disliked: All of the furniture in our room was so old, worn out and mismatched, it was like sleeping in a junk shop. Uncomfortable bed with only one pillow each. I did find more pillows in the wardrobe at 3am. Kettle and 2 cups in the room, with coffee and sugar sachets but no spoons. Tiles in bathroom need a good scrub.There is a sign in the bathroom warning you not to smash the shower door. There is no shower door. There is a shower curtain which blocks out the light.All round lack of care and attention to detail. It is lovely old building in a wonderful location and it could be so good.

Not for me

Liked: Good location. Bedding and towels pristine.
Disliked: No parking other than in a nearby car park costing me an additional £15. Doors to corridors all slammed loudly. Room generally looked shabby. Bathroom clean but taps not affixed properly. Hideous view on to a rooftop opposite with a generator going all night. All of which contributed to a terrible night's sleep.
