Top Hele Bay Beach Hotel Reviews

The Olive Branch

8/10 Good

"We stopped with the Olive Branch for a night on our way to Lundy. Jo was so helpful and welcoming - her Breakfast was one of the best I have had in such an establishment. Facilities were great and for a perfect little stop you could not ask for better."

The Rocky Cove Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Three things you need to run a great Bed and Breakfast. 1. A great host. 2. A great bed and room. 3. A great breakfast. This place has all three and is the perfect place for a short stay in Ilfracombe. Definitely recommended."

The Sawmills

10/10 Excellent

"The Sawmills was an absolute gem of a find along the coast path. Friendly staff, great food and a great night's sleep. Highly recommended - would definitely stay again!"

The Dilkhusa Grand Hotel By Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good

"The hotel is well overdue for a makeover, the staff, however, are excellent, although they forgot to service our room on a 2 night stay. The room was extremely disappointing, being both small & very, very scruffy. The position of the hotel is absolutely perfect for exploring Ilfracombe, if staying again will book direct with the hotel and ask for specific rooms, in all a very enjoyable visit, apart from the accommodation, the breakfast was excellent! Mark and Shirley"

The Harbour Lights

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely clean modern room, very good food. Staff very friendly."

Saint James By The Quay

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was light and airy. Plenty of room for our family of 4. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect and very easy to park in the nearby car park. All in all, a very pleasant stay... The only thing that might be a problem for some is climbing the staircase with luggage and I don't remember reading anything about multiple flights of stairs."

Seagulls Loft

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely apartment with fabulous views! Very clean and decorated and furnished to a high standard. We had everything we needed and much more. Highly recommended!"

The Collingdale Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"I would love to keep this gem of a find a secret but that wouldn’t be fair to them!! Sharon and Daryl are so welcoming we felt we had known them for many years, great knowledge and ideas where to go as we hadn’t been to Ilfracombe before. The room spotless with the most comfortable super Kingsize bed and the bathroom amenities were so gorgeous I’ve googled where to source! Where do I start with the breakfast it’s obviously locally sourced as it was absolutely delicious!!! Sharon and Susan give you a super morning greeting and nothing is too much trouble… coffee yummy too!! Can’t wait to return as said by the other guests we met at breakfast!!"

North Devon Resort

8/10 Good

"It was a great stay, nice facilities and amazing staff. The only reason I wouldn't say 5 is: - check in was delayed by an hour or so. - there was no spatula. - the hob fan and light didn't work - the microwave defrost was more like full power. - I didn't know what to do with the bins. Maybe I missed this somewhere. Would stay again"
