Booked into the Ilfracombe after being let down by a hotel we had previously booked, thank goodness for that. Luckily Bertie had had a cancellation and was able to accommodate us. We arrived on a scooter but there was ample room in the rear car park. All the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, and nothing is too much trouble.... More

This was a beautifully clean hotel with friendly people running it willing on the surface to do all they could to help. I arrived early and was able to book in immediately as they had my room ready 1 u for them and also there was parking avaliablethough not very well sign posted and I have previously lived in southend....

Myself and my 3 girlie friends have just had a wonder little break by the sea in a lovely friendly hotel. We had a 2 bed apartment with amenities you require. Food was excellent and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Great value hotel. English breakfast was super.Will be going back.

We returned to the Ilfracombe again after a break of 2 years and stayed in a self-catering apartment. (Roman style) As usual the service was very friendly and accommodating and the appt. was clean and spacious. There are TVs in all rooms now, so our daughter was delighted. I can recommend this as a very reasonable option to families who... More

Just stayed at this hotel for one night, & the proprietors couldn't have done more to make us feel at home. The room was spacious, clean & comfortable & their food was great. The prices of their food & drinks were very reasonable so we didn't feel at all "ripped off". We'd definately stay again.

Stayed in this hotel on business in March 2013. Staff were wonderful and helpful. Room was very comfortable. In a nutshell this hotel pulls off something I've rarely seen done well: it's homely without being over personal. It was a pleasure to come back to the Ilfracombe after working all day. Every time I stay in Southend this hotel will... More

We've recently stayed at the Ifracombe House hotel for a weekend. We found their details on the Southend on Sea information website and for the price thought it was very reasonable for a bed and breakfast. Now that we've been and stayed, we have to say its definitely value for money!! The staff were ever so friendly and couldn't do... More

We stayed in one of the Family Room's at the end of Feb 13 and were more than happy with our stay. The welcoming was warm and the room comfortable and clean. The decor is somewhat dated but not tatty as so often can be the case, but it does match the Victorian character of the hotel (it is not... More

We have used it a couple of times now for family visits and it is comfortable, clean, with a good location close to the centre and has a small convenient car park. The fabric of the building and rooms are nothing special but everything works fine. What makes it is the service, dedication and attention to guests' needs by owner,... More
