Warm welcome, had a lovely evening meal, very flavoursome and beautifully presented. Service very good. Great location by the harbour,didn't actually stay here, but will do when we come to Ilfracombe again. Would certainly recommend for a meal from my experience.

Walked into nice restaurant and was nicely greeted by the owner althought the normal English summer (rain) it warm and comfortable. The was twin and big enough for two people. Would have liked a seaview but this is an old town. Food in the restaurant was v good and it was a good price.

My husband, son and I seem to be making it a habit to stay at Harbour Lights before doing other things during the October half term. We are all very fond of Ilfracombe and when we bagged a bargain at a nearby caravan site, decided to precede that with another visit to Harbour Lights. I am not sure what we... More

We have just returned from a weekend break at this little gem situated near the harbour in Ilfracombe. Steve and Ruth are a refreshing change from the plastic receptionists dressed as androids offering you your money back if you haven't had a good nights' sleep! They made us very welcome - even letting us have the room early. We had... More

We stumbled across this quite by accident as we were booked onto local holiday park which was awful. The food was lovely both in the evening and at breakfast. Would love to go back again in the near future. Had a room at the front of the building and it wasn't too bad noise wise despite the next door pub... More

I have stayed in many B&B's that have offered far less for a far higher rate , but considering my criteria was a cheap B&B for two nights, this is indeed brilliant value for money. Excellent hosts, room, and breakfast for the money - their evening menu isn't pretentious or flashy, it isn't advertised as such and doesn't try to... More

We stayed just one night on way home from Lundy. We arrived tired and cold after a very cold crossing from Lundy. We had a very warm welcome even though the owners were having their evening meal. Nick showed us our room, no.1., and carried my heavy bag up for me. The room was excellent and the fan heater soon... More

A bit dingy & well past it's prime. I had booked for Dinner as well & was dreading it but was pleasantly surprised when, although it incurred supplements, the Scallops & Chorizo arrived as that was very good, followed by my Lobster which was also excellent. Maybe the new owner will rectify this.
