"Great location having Woolacombe and Ilfracombe 10 minutes either side. Nice small park, with a shop and pub serving food and drinks. Kids play park and jumbo chess went down well. The Lodge itself is nice, the hot tub being a welcomed luxury after long days exploring. As many have said, the decking/railing needs replacing as its patched up in places and worn. Otherwise, its a lovely place, clean, very usable spaces and well equipped. We loved it!"

Top Hele Bay Beach Hotel Reviews

The Royal Britannia

8/10 Good

"We *loved* its location -- right on The Quay, its historic importance, and the comradery of the staff and guests in its downstairs pub over the water. Also, no other Americans."

The Sawmills

10/10 Excellent

"The whole experience was a very good one"

The Rocky Cove Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"It was well appointed and very comfortable and had everything we needed. Jonah was extremely helpful and gave us lots of information about potential parking places as the B&B does not itself have a car park. We only stayed one night and were fortunate enough to secure one of the parking places immediately in front of the B&B for which there was no charge until 10am the next morning. All very satisfactory."

The Olive Branch

10/10 Excellent

"Jo was very helpful and accommodating. Lovely property and I had a nice time. Very good value and would love to spend time there again."

The Collingdale Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely lovely B & B , all staff very welcoming. They couldn’t do enough for use . We will definitely be back and the reviews about the breakfast is top notch If we could give 6 stars we would Thank you for having us"

The Harbour Lights

8/10 Good

"Great room with lovely seating area in the middle of Ilfracombe. Carparking handy and cheap. Lots to do and see. Just one problem with the gutter outside the room leaking with heavy rain and very noisy. A part from that, perfect, with Woolacombe bay surfing just 15mins down the road."

Hot Tub Haven with Dreamy Sea Vista!

8/10 Good

"Lovely little apartment.. very clean and tidy. Bed was very comfortable! Hot tub was lovely and we sat in it and watched the sunset over the sea. Complex is quite run down but work is ongoing to improve the facilities. A manual for the hot tub would have been useful having never used one before."
