The room was clean and spacious. Beds were super comfy. I slept like a log and we spent the majority of our time on our beds so the fact that we were comfortable was ideal. Breakfast was filling and freshly cooked. My son had the kippers which made a nice change for him as it's not something usually offered on a breakfast menu. I had the full english as I'm a creature of habit, both of which were just what we needed to set us up for the day and very reasonably priced too. We booked in advance which saved us a couple of pounds but would have happily paid the full price. Christmas day lunch in their sister restaurant was amazing and well worth the price. The staff in both sites were amazing, helpful, polite and courteous.

A super friendly, immaculately clean and well equipped place to stay. We stayed in the family room and used the bike storage under the place. A really lovely vibe about the place. We stayed two nights.

I highly recommend The Earlsdale Bed and Breakfast! Owners Jim and Lewis’ professionalism, passion, creativity, and attention to detail shined through in everything from the chic design of the B&B, to the vegan and gluten free chocolate that awaited me in my room (custom to my specific dietary restrictions). My room was spacious, luxurious, and comfortable. As an interior designer, I especially appreciated the soothing interior lighting and high end design materials and finishes, all of which came together to blend modern luxury with the unique historical elements of the building.
The included breakfast featured a beautifully laid self service station with homemade and locally sourced delicacies. I very much enjoyed the “Full English” that Jim so kindly prepared for me, which accommodated my strict vegan and gluten free diet. I’m confident that my friends who enjoy meat and dairy would have also been very satisfied with the other unassuming, yet elevated hot breakfast offerings.
Thank you Jim and Lewis for being such attentive and accommodating hosts! I very much look forward to staying at The Earlsdale again in the future!

Ilfracombe is a lovely place to visit, however please be aware how hilly it is. Walking down to harbour is easy but the return journey can be a bit of a slog.
Had gluten free fish and chips from Lynbay fish and chip shop.
Gluten free cream tea from St James tea garden.
Wasn't overly impressed with the beach as it mainly slate pebbles, but Woolacombe is not far away with golden sands.

Many part of this town including its HIGH STREET are looking terribly run down and rough. So too some pubs ...
I'm sure it will perk up in higher season but money needs to be spent on its appearance .
The streets felt as safe as most places in Britain and some Bistros and cafes were delightful. Roads are narrow and some extremely vertiginous . Parking can be an issue in high season I guess.

Ilfracombe is worth a visit and is probably better in the summer than when we visited. We preferred Woolacombe and Puttsborough beach is great for surfing. We walked around Baggy Point and saw some amazing views. Well worth a visit.

There were some really lovely parts of Ilfracombe and some not so nice , like most towns . Most of the architecture is stunning with old and new together but some new don't fit in. The scenery on the coast is amazing with lots of craggy coves and you can walk along the South West Coast Path . There is a small harbour where a stunning Damien Hirst statue is of Verity ,Statue of Justice if I remember correctly Parts of Ilfracombe are quite steep but there are slopes and some roads on the flat. We ate Sunday lunch at the Thatched Inn , had Breakfast at the Lime Kiln Cafe down by a cove . We loved it.

Lovely rugged coastline all still very natural.
Lovely rugged coastline all still very natural. The town however was a little disappointing in terms of felt a bit run down and lacking in investment in some areas. Worth a visit altho not too long as I think more useful to use as a base to travel than a holiday in as wasn’t enough to offer.

As we were attending a wedding it was a good location for us but probably not the right time of year for shopping etc as most of the shops were empty or closed down. I'm sure its much better in the summer!
The breakfast was exceptional. My husband is vegetarian and was very happy to be offered vegetarian sausages (apart from the usual eggs, mushrooms etc). Besides the freshly cooked breakfast, Cairn house also have the cereal, fruit and yoghurts available.
We're so grateful to have been upgraded to a better room that had a beautiful bay window overlooking the front of the house, with views of ilfracombe and distant sea views. The room was very spacious and obviously comfortable, as well as the bathroom.
Perfect stay at the Earlsdale. The owners could not have been more helpful, and really made us feel at home. The standard of the breakfast was exceptional. The location of the Earlsdale is ideal - a short walk into Ilfracombe centre, but still peaceful and private. The hotel itself is thoughtfully decorated and very clean; we especially liked the personal touches in each room, and the beautiful garden. Thank you.
Andrew and Nick were the perfect hosts, the Hotel was close to all amenities and a good base to explore north Devon’s outstanding coastline.
Excellent breakfast every morning was a great start to the day.
The added bonus of on site parking was a real plus in a town that has very little street parking. 10/10 all round
Very nice hotel, with lots of original features, ongoing renovations but they don't impact on your stay. Nice airy rooms with excellent quality bed linen and towels, nice surprise was the small fridge, breakfast was freshly cooked and plenty of choice, very pleasant walk into the centre of Ilfracombe
A very cosy base for a few days in Ilfracombe and North Devon. It was a short walk in to Ilfracombe with some excellent restaurants and pubs. Everything you needed for an easy self catering holiday was provided. Communication with the owners was excellent. I will almost certainly aim to return.
Ilfracombe is a little gem in North Devon exactly as the Devonian. Lovely welcome, quiet and nice room, very good breakfast in the room overlooking the garden. Hope to be back soon! Highly recommended if you are looking for a relaxing break.
Thank you Piper and Terence :)
Location excellent and quiet room. Loved the room as bed extremely comfortable and shower had plenty of hot water. The room smelt fresh and bedding clean. Hotel reception staff were very very friendly and helpful, thank you for a lovely relaxing stay. We will return.
Location superb, literally yards from the Tunnels Beaches, and the Catholic Church (ideal for Easter Sunday Mass) and 10 mins walk from the harbour
Good breakfast
Clean and comfortable room
Friendly and helpful host
Single malts in the hotel bar
This was an excellent choice for starting our C2C adventure (coast to coast by bicycle starting in Ilfracombe).
The hotel was beautiful and in the perfect location.
Staff could not do enough for us and were so friendly.
The hotel was ideally situated for the resort and our travel to work at the Ilfracombe Holiday Park, just 4 minutes away. Our breakfasts were excellent and the room was very comfortable.
We had a lovely stay in this really spacious, well equipped flat. Everything was thought of and the location was very convenient close to the harbour.
Would definitely stay again.
We have stayed in quite a few hotels in ilfracombe but this was by far the best equipped and most homely place we have stayed in. If you add that to the view then its a no brainer
Hotel is situated in a quiet backstreet but close to all ammenities. Lovely sea-view from the room we were in. Staff and in particular the owner were very friendly and helpful.
Has everything you can think of, Excellent accommodation great location, just a short walk into Ilfracombe and in easy reach of other beaches and sites within North Devon.
Pleasant 2 night stay in quiet,comfortable hotel near Ilfracombe. Good bedroom facilities and excellent.well prepared breakfasts with plenty of choice.Amenable host.
Clean and fair sized room. Easy access and central location. Good hot shower and a nice TV which was a godsend as there is nothing to do in Ilfracombe after 9pm.
Breakfast was ok. Bed was comfy, location is pretty good. Ilfracombe is a lovely little town. Lots of hills so if mobility is an issue you may want to re-think.
