"Comfortable hostel with good kitchen facilities."

7.0

Good location in centre of Ilfracombe. We had private en-suite double room which was comfortable and adequate for our needs. We were starting the Devon C2C cycle the following day and they had space available to lock bikes in the cellar (NB low ceiling height)

Next to the cburch which chimes every hour which wakes the seagulls up, so it's quite noisy

"Auberge agréable idéalement placée"

8.0

Emplacement parfait au coeur d'Ilfracombe. Auberge bien équipée et conviviale. Equipe jeune et sympathique. C'est un bon rapport qualité/prix.

Le lavabo de la salle de bain est trop petit et il est intégré sur le réservoir des toilettes. On s'en accommode pour quelques jours, mais ce n'est pas ce qu'il y a de plus pratique.
