Overall a good stay but spoilt by the room

Breakfast is fantastic. Great choice of cooked food which is all very nice. Staff are very polite and informative.

The room we had was very small to be a double and the bathroom was so small as to be uncomfortable. We stayed here in September and had a much bigger and nicer room. The hotel didnt seem full so dont understand why we were given such a small room

Great hotel, definitely would recommend

The staff were professional and friendly. The food was exceptional, both at breakfast and dinner. The whole hotel was spotlessly clean, and my room facilities were great

I honestly couldn't fault anything

8.0 / 10.0

Very enjoyable

I was particularly impressed with our breakfast waitress Fri, Sat & Sun morning. Breakfast itself was excellent . I also IOU had occasion to speak to one of the chambermaids and she was friendly & loyal!! Free parking was a bonus!

It didn’t spoil our stay but painting the hotel in a such a strong shade of blue doesn’t enhance the exterior. A little attention to the steps & weeds would be very beneficial especially as this is the quiet season & I suggest time would be available. One other thing I would mention is that in hospitality we always say ‘you never get a second chance to make a first impression’ so when we arrived and the chap behind the desk carried on his conversation whilst I stood waiting, I wasn’t impressed . I had no acknowledgment & it seemed the conversation was not work related. Shame as everything else was great!

A very nice mini break away.

Well what a weekend. Beautiful room, very well decorated and clean. Hotel decor was exceptional, breakfast menu was extensive and delicious. Had a library and gym too and board games, a bar for evening drinks if needed. Great location tucked around the corner from the tunnels and hotel had on site parking. Nice and warm in the room, the shower was very powerful and the towels lovely and soft. The bed was massive, we stayed in a king room and was very comfortable. Thank you very much for a lovely stay and shall book again if we find ourselves back down your way 😊

There wasn’t actually anything we didn’t like.

Fabulous location, room, welcome and staff care.

My room (single) was clean, comfortable and modern. It was small but great for just 1 person Staff were amazing... I informed about a late check in (ie 0130 am as driving from London) and they met me warmly and looked after me. Fabulous location, great access to views, seafront, jogging trails and walking etc. Lidl almost next door if you need anything not provided at hotel.

Very convenient for the town centre but far enough away not to have any noise. We would come again. Thanks

The staff especially Micheal (the head man on the reception) was great. The staff in the dining area and the cleaning ladies were great too. The place was spotless. Food was ace! Loved it!

No radiator in bathroom.

Not bad.

We had a lovely evening meal, and Michael and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Our room was TINY and the TV was a bit dodgy. It was all slightly more old-fashioned that in looked from the photos.

It was fun and I would stay again

Breakfast options were good for vegan/vegetarians. All staff were very friendly and hospitable. Lovely location with short and easy access into Ilfracombe. Very glad to have free parking

Although I had been advised the room was small, it was still smaller than I had anticipated. It was also constantly extremely warm in my room, even though it was Sept/Oct. A fan was provided but did little to help. I am not sure all guests were aware dogs were allowed.. they should be to avoid the judgemental stares and comments at breakfast. Not sure whether I would say having to hand keys in every time I left the hotel was something I didn't like but it was strange, and I didn't like the fact that I had no option but to leave them on the desk at reception if it wasn't being manned at the time

8.0 / 10.0

Lovely hotel, would stay there again, breakfast needs improvement.

Super friendly staff. Lovely room. Huge bed, really comfortable. Modern, clean, lovely atmosphere. Lovely evening meal, the bar man is brilliant, he certainly knows his way around a bar.

Breakfast was not as good as the Hotel. We had a coach party in and twice there were not certain things available on the menu. Breakfast is quite basic. I had a sausage sandwich, it was served on a plate, not even cut in half, really thin bread so it went very soggy. You have to pay for a special coffee. I asked for sour dough bread but they said no, even though sour dough was available with an egg and avocado.

Superb staff and great breakfast choices.

The staff were excellent and I had a lovely quiet stay. The breakfast was really varied. The hotel room and communal areas were superbly clean and fresh looking.

My room was a bit small but for only 2 nights it was acceptable but if I’d stayed longer I’d need a bigger room.

Overall...a very well run hotel. Well done everyone x

The breakfast was very enjoyable with a great variety to suit all. The owner Michael and staff were very attentive and nothing was any trouble. The beds and towels were changed every day and no shortage of tea and coffee. Hairdryer, fan and iron and ironing board also in room and a very easy to use safe for valuables. Also had a minifridge with bottles of water which when used were replaced free of charge. The wedding we attended at Tunnel Beaches was very close to the Carlton Hotel which was a great choice of a place to stay as it was practically on their doorstep. Loved the location to the Harbour, literally under a 10 minute walk. Staff at the Carlton were all very well mannered and the night porter was a very personable gentleman. Loved the sweetie bowl at the service desk. Gym and library were also available to use although we didnt partake on our 4 night stay. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommended A++++++

I can't say that I disliked anything but would recommend perhaps a wee packet of biscuits which would compliment the tea and coffee in the room. ie Shortbread / Gingernuts. Nothing nicer than having a wee something to nibble on when having a wee cuppa.

Very happy with the hotel and staff, great location could not be better.

The breakfast choices were beyond what you would have expected for a hotel of this size, the staff were on hand and very attentive, well cooked food and delicious with it.Very good vibes about the hotel, where nothing was to much trouble.

Limited parking, but did not have any trouble finding parking in or nearby during our stay.
