“The Grand Harbour Hotel in Ilfracombe provides a very clean and comfortable base, particularly notable for its excellent value. Rooms, while basic, are well-provisioned with comfortable beds, and the staff proved responsive and helpful. Its location is a definite draw, placing guests within easy reach of the harbour and local amenities, though breakfast and reception require a short walk to a sister property.”
