Pros

The Brasserie sources ingredients from regional suppliers, including Exmoor Park beef and Braunton's Great Field produce.

The Victorian-era building lacks an elevator, which may challenge guests with heavy luggage.

“This is a standout property, particularly for its location a short walk from both the seafront and Ilfracombe's shops. The rooms are well-equipped, clean and comfortable, while the staff consistently receive praise for their friendliness and attentiveness. From what I gathered, the breakfast is also a highlight, offering a wide selection and well-prepared options.”
