Great service
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

Very pleasant hotel - we'd stay again.
Attentive staff, an excellent central location near the harbour and well prepared clean rooms made this a very pleasant two night stay. We would most certainly book again next time we visit ! Communication prior to staying was excellent including thorough directions, information about the room and an unexpected call just before we arrived (on time) to say the room was ready and did we need any help.

recommend.
Glad we picked this B&B. No parking but there isn't any hotels with parking in Ilfracombe, you can pull up outside,drop off & use a carpark round the corner. Large rooms & 1 min walk from quay. Friendly owners and they give you a key and leave you to yourself - the way I like it.

Excellent place to stay!
We had such a relaxing stay with Steve, Ruth and Nic, who made us so welcome that it was like staying with good friends. We were impressed by the cleanliness of "The Harbour Lights" and also by the excellent breakfasts. Exceptional value for money and we would have no hesitation in recommending it. Thank you all it was great meeting you, hope we meet again. Mags and Jack.

A nice stay in Ilfracombe
A very friendly welcome from Ruth. With regard to parking - You have to go round the corner and pay around £3.10 for the whole day. Overall the stay was pleasant with everything we needed in the room. Bed was comfy. Some noise from the pub next door on the Saturday but didn't disturb our sleep too much. Great location - and close to the restaurants. Would recommend.

Nice little BnB
Room was nice and quaint. Stairs were steep and had to climb 4 floors to get to our room but other than that everything was perfect. Breakfast was fantastic and the staff was wonderful.
