Top Watermouth Castle Hotel Reviews

The Olive Branch

10/10 Excellent

"The Olive Branch ticked all boxes for me. Clean, well maintained and in keeping with the harbour cottage vibe. The breakfast lived up to the hype of its reviews too, quality produce and perfect poached eggs every morning! The location was just a short walk to the harbour and Jo was a fab host. I would definitely recommend and stay again."

The Dilkhusa Grand Hotel By Compass Hospitality

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were most helpful when we had trouble with the parking phone app and check in was made quick and easy. The staff were fantastic. The room was clean and we heard no noise and had a good nights sleep. Thank you to all the staff."

The Rocky Cove Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely bed and breakfast well decorated very clean and tidy. Was a very comfortable stay and the host was very friendly and went out of his way to accommodate us on our stay. Have to say it’s probably one of the best b&b’s I’ve stayed it across the south west!"

Ilfracombe Carlton Hotel - Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely clean hotel,cooked breakfast was very good, had a lot of flavour. Excellent location for harbour."

Laston House

10/10 Excellent

"Laston House is a beautiful Georgian property. The room we stayed in Room 6 was huge with plenty of seating and a nice sea view. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was full English which I could not fault, Great value for money and just a 2 minute walk was The Thatched Inn which does good food. Would definitely not look to stay anywhere else if we return to Ilfracoombe."

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."

10/10 Excellent

"We had a comfortable room and had a great breakfast. David and Diane made us very welcome."

North Devon Resort

"Great pool"

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."
