Very friendly and helpful staff, I was allowed to dry my wet tent in the small patio. The kitchen has everything you need and more, incl. coffee and tea. Super clean and so lovely decorated, it's really a nice place to stay.

Friendly, clean and conscientious.

Only thing is the bathroom a bit small with only a tiny sink on top of the toilet cistern which found really awkward/unhygienic to use if just want quick wash/clean teeth.

Amazing hostel in a great location, loved the vibe. Kitchen area like a professional set up with more than everything you need. Staff and manager very helpful and friendly. Super clean and modern

The arrival system is quite grumpy - if you've had a long journey you're technically not allowed to enter the property until 4pm. This is really uncommon in hostels / hotels and doesn't match the vibe of the hostel. I think if you have a booking (and can show you have) as a soft welcome you should at least be able to drop your stuff off so you can go out and enjoy Ilfracombe. Especially if you've had a few muddy and wet days on the SWCP.

In 15 years of backpacking this is one of the nicest hostels I've ever stayed in. A great rest day on the South West Coast Path and one of only a few value for money hostels - if only there were more like this in Bude etc.

You have whatever you need! The staff is always available for tips and fun. The rooms are cleaned and the common places are cozy and beautiful.

A lovely hostel- beautifully decorated, great facilities and excellent value for money especially off season. Staff were also super kind and helpful.

Everything was fine.

Very tastefully decorated in up to date style. Exceptionally clean and all the facilities such as kitchen and social/seating area were very well equiped and maintained, Couldnt fault it.

The shared bathroom could have another shelf or a slightly larger wash basin.

Richard at reception was very helpful. The kitchen was amazingly well-stocked, clean and impressively organised. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. I would have liked to stay more than one night. I would definitely recommend.

The stairs to our room were very steep.

Very nicely furnished and cozy lounge with board games etc... Well-equipped kitchen right next to it. Room with bunk beds and bathroom very clean. Very friendly staff, great! There was a large parking lot within sight. Payment was made via app.

The church bells were an unexpected annoyance!

Great place in a nice location.

Stayed in August 2023

It was right next to a church that rang its bells every hour throughout the whole night we didn’t sleep either night - don’t understand why a church would disrupt everyone’s sleep such a shame

Great location and full of character Been designed and thought out really well Lounge area was really cosy and kids enjoyed reading the books

Ideal situation

We are not used to living in towns so we found the night a bit noisy outside. the location is great for being close to the bars and cafes but was a bit noisy in the streets until everyone settled down.

Very clean. Huge modern kitchen. Really helpful staff.

Location was perfect for us , fishing from the harbour for 2 days, the free tea,coffee and squash was a lovely touch really couldn't fault it it any way.

The hot water in the shower was a bit temperamental going from cold to scalding.

Perfect location - short walk to the harbour, restaurants, beaches. Very clean. Friendly staff. Access to a kitchen if needed.

Stayed in September 2023

Location can be noisy in the late evening due to nearby pubs and in the morning due to seagulls!

Alex at reception was super friendly and helpful. Any small problems were dealt with immediately and with great good humour. Check-in arrangements out of hours were excellent. Some rooms have en-suite but most do not - this is as expected in a hostel. Cleanliness was outstanding. Common areas included a lovely lounge and well-equipped kitchen with a great system for re-using left-overs from other guests and regular clear-out of the fridge. The location is superb - right near the Quay if you are arriving/leaving on the Lundy ferry. Towel hire available for £2 each, which was very welcome for those of us travelling light. No problem leaving bags for storage if necessary during the day of departure. The owners have recently invested in upgrading the hostel and it really shows.

Staff were really friendly and couldn't have been more helpful with tips on what to do and see locally.

Appreciated the communal kitchen amenities and dining area

The beds are really comfy. The lounge has lots of books and games. It’s close to the harbour and you can easily walk to most places in Ilfracombe. It’s great for families with kids.

The hostel was well equipped and homely . Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return . The kids loved it .

Shower temperature was very temperamental and was like a campsite shower where you press a button every couple of minutes to turn it on again. Also the building isn't very soundproof so you can hear people going up and down the stairs or any particularly loud conversations in the building, as well as all the noise outside. However I found building sounds were between 7.30/8am to around 9pm. Personally didn't bother me too much and I just used ear plugs over night.

Amazing room and guy on the desk was lovely. I felt very safe and secure with the codes to access building and rooms.

I've slept in comfier beds, otherwise nothing!

You're smack bang in the middle of town so location for price was amazing. A bus stop is less than a minute walk away which was super helpful for me as I was doing a lot of bus catching and meandering in the area. Hostel has a lovely wee communal living room and kitchen (fully stocked with amenities to use for cooking) that feels so homey. Bathroom facilities are clean and well maintained. Plenty of space for bags in dorm rooms with the option of a locker. Jimmy, the manager, was so friendly and welcoming and really set the tone for the hostel's atmosphere.This made the stay so much better as a solo female traveller- probably one of the most friendly hostels I've ever stayed at.
