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!!

☀️🔥 The heat is cranking up again… but it’s always cooler by the coast! 🌊
Come and feel the fresh sea breeze in Ilfracombe and discover some of the perfect places to chill out on a hot summer’s day:
🐠 Ilfracombe Aquarium – wander through a world of marine life in calm, shaded surroundings.
⛪ St Nicholas Chapel Ilfracombe – step back in time inside its thick stone walls, where it’s naturally cool and peaceful.
🚤 RNLI Ilfracombe Lifeboat Station – uncover the RNLI’s lifesaving story.
🍫 Ilfracombe Chocolate Emporium – blissfully air-conditioned, with treats that melt in your mouth, not your hand!
🚶‍♀️Walk the shaded Bicclescombe Park , or cross the road and explore Cairn Woodland Local Nature Reserve

When you need a tasty cooldown:
🍦 Stroll to one of our cosy cafes or pretty tea gardens for an ice cream or an icy drink.
🍓 Or slow the pace with a Devon cream tea in the shady garden at Hele Corn Mill & Tea Room and take a peek inside the beautiful 17th-century mill.

Soak up the sunshine, then slip into the shade… Ilfracombe is your perfect hot-day escape.

Not usually a fan of fairs, but the new addition to this year's Ilfracombe summer family fun fair of the big wheel (Ilfracombe Eye) and the galloping carousel are going to be a great hit with everyone. In fact we took a ride on the Eye ourselves today and I am tempted to take a ride on the carousel as that was my favourite as a child 😊🎠 🎡

This cheeky chappie comes every morning and sits outside the breakfast room, hoping to be fed but goes away disappointed 🤪
