Ilfracombe & North Devon Coast (Carlton Hotel)

Staying at the Carlton Hotel
Ilfracombe’s reputation as the culinary and cultural hub of North Devon has been steadily growing for then past few years, with many visitors referring to it as the new St. Ives. As well as being a haven for foodies, the town is home to a host of world famous attractions including the aquarium and the unique Tunnel Beaches, as well as Damien Hirst’s sculpture, Verity. The Jewel in the crown is the Port which has been there since at least the 12th Century and a settlement for much longer. Today the predominant use is for leisure and tourism but this is still a working harbour with fish and seafood landed daily. Open all year round, independently owned and managed. The Carlton is conveniently positioned to access the harbour, seafront, Tunnels beaches and further afield in North Devon. It also has great food from locally sourced ingredients, brilliant breakfast and local beers. Guest rooms are refurbished deluxe standard or classic decor.
