Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I made a last minute booking to stay here as my trip to Westcliff took longer than expected. They were really helpful on the phone when booking and were equally as helpful at check-in. The room (and the hotel too) was clean and comfortable, with the usual facilities, and I really didn't need anything it didn't have! Breakfast was nice and served quickly which was helpful as I had to leave promptly. I will definitely be returning and will recommend to friends who are looking for a hotel in Westcliff!”
“The Ilfracombe House Hotel was excellent. The family room wè stayed in was nicely decorated with a lovely en suite. The host was very friendly and welcoming. The hotel was convenient located for the town, the station and the promenade. Breakfast was excellent. We would definitely stay there again.”
“I stay in this hotel for work quite a bit. It’s such a lovely place to stay. It’s a family run business and all staff are incredibly friendly. The food is very delicious and very good value for what it is. Location is perfect 5 min walk to the pier. Rooms are always clean. The restaurant area is very warm and cosy. An all round very welcoming and lovely place to stay. Look forward to coming again”
