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.
Clean room, nice views. Check in was smooth. Lots of stairs up to the room but we knew that when booking. Would stay again as it’s good value for money.
Perfect place for a stay in the town - right next to the harbour - yes there was noise from the road but it’s an active harbour so what would you expect - good food options in the area and pubs nice

Room was spotless, superb view over the harbour, would definitely recommend and would book again.
The room was as expected. Good location and views. Had researched this so knew parking was nearby which was fine.
Obviously recently refurbished but it must have been on a tight budget. Everything seemed to be done cheaply and not very well. Disappointed that the decor didn’t do justice to such a historic building
Great location but very basic facilities and pretty dirty especially the outside of the toilet bowl which clearly hadnt been cleaned for weeks or months. Clear retraining clearly necessary. Bar are in The Britannia (where you go for brealfast) opposite was grubby.
I liked that you can walk to everything
Unfortunately parking is very expensive, we paid 12 p to park overnight in the car park

Room was OK, basic and functional. Wooden floors throughout, meant that there was much noise from other rooms and the landing. Mostly due the fact that a school group of maybe 12-13 year old boys were staying.
Harbour Lights was an experience we will never forget! Kyle at reception was beyond helpful, writing a lengthy list of attractions, ensuring we had a suitable room and switched us to their sister hotel The Royal Britannia. John was also amazing sharing some local favourites and chatting away each time we crossed paths. Our room and ensuite was huge and beautiful, with a large bay window and seating overlooking the harbour. The restaurant downstairs had amazing barkeeps that smiled and chatted friendly each time we requested a jug of ice to chill our drinks. Bed was comfortable, room was clean with access to fresh towels and linens whenever needed. 11/10 will HIGHLY recommend to anyone!
They were really careful about keeping everyone safe. Room was spotless and had everything I needed. Only one downside. Just be aware that the third floor is a long way up to have to carry your luggage! The guest house is perfectly positioned for the harbour
