We very much enjoyed our 4 night break at The Darnley. It's a lovely old Victorian building which has been tastefully decorated by the owners. Our room was just right for our needs with tea and coffee provided and a great breakfast. The hotel was very clean and comfortable and close to the high street with a secret path as a shortcut which we used every day. The owners Paul and Lorinda were very friendly and we hope to return in the near future.

We stopped here for a long weekend. The staff were friendly and approachable.
The room was large but clean and tidy. The following morning we attended for breakfast downstairs which was a full English and choice of croissants and cereals. The full English was tasty and not greasy at all. The croissants were also yummy and made a change to have them warm on arrival.
The hotel is situated about a 10 minute walk to the harbour which makes it perfect for exploring but out of the way of the hustle and bustle.
A welcome place to stay when visiting ilfracombe.

Very nice and friendly couple new to the business. Enjoyed our two nights at the hotel and stay in ilfracombe. it's a very "olde worlde" quaint town. The facilities at The Darnley were good with a hearty breakfast and comfortable bed. There were limited supplies of tea and coffee in the room but as we were out the majority of the time, this was not an issue. However we stayed at 3 other hotels in Devon during our cycling trip and there was plenty of tea/coffee supplies in the room compared to only 2 of each in the Darnley. Good parking, bicycle washing facilities and very easy access into the town centre.

The room was a lot bigger than the pictures suggested, spotlessly clean and overall a very nice place. We went with an infant, and the room was more than big enough for the travel cot and all the luggage we arrived with. Our son also seemed to have enjoyed the stay, crawling around the room when we were in. The breakfast was delicious and there was a choice of full English or a vegetarian version, plus lots of extras to choose from. The hosts were lovely and offered advice and a good conversation, without intruding. I would recommend her place without hesitation.

Room tip: good view, nice breakfast, huge room
