Independent hotels in Ilfracombe, Devon

"Met my good walking friend here. We walked the coastal path from the Sawmills to Lee Bay. The coastal path was a stones throw from the pub. Staff were able to signpost us to the path well. They even checked us into our room at 0945 !!!! Wow!! Loved the fairy lights on our return! Loved the menu: we both had curry, one fish, one sweet potato... So yummy!!! Lovely comfy room and dog friendly too!! After out 9 miles,and a quick end of day dip in Coombe Martin, we both loved the huge sunflower showerhead and loved the wood burning fire!!! Smashing full breakfast before setting off the next morning and such friendly staff. Very attentive . Please please please make Irish / tipple style coffees possible!!! That would have crowned my evening !!! Would definitely recommend the Sawmills to friends and stay again!! Thank you!! "

"We had a lovely time shame it wasn't more than one night, great service and even sand Shantys with the group that meet up there every Thursday. "

"The hotel was a welcone change from the large chain hotels. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean and well positioned for site seeing. Also was nice and quiet for working sometimes during the stay "

"We enjoyed our stay at sherborne lodge. Staff were amazing and breakfast was great too. The room was very clear and well presented. There is a bit of history with dining room and adds to the charm. Lunch and dinner spent in town. Car parking available. Price was responsible too. Easy walk into Ilfracombe town centre. A small hill on the return walking journey."

"Always rate a hotel by the quality of the breakfast! 10/10. Lovely family run hotel. Everyone very friendly and helpful. Thank you Phil and Harv"
