Lovely base for a holiday in Ilfracombe. Short 10mins walk into the town and all of the attractions and conveniences. Room was clean and airy with all the facilities we needed. Hotel staff were extremely helpful and the cooked breakfast was fantastic!

Very warm and friendly welcome, Lorinda showed us to our room which had recently been decorated and explained everything we needed to know. Room was a lovely size with a separate dressing area and small fridge which was handy for fresh milk. The breakfast was lovely and they made sure we had a full vegetarian option. Paul was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the local area. The Hotel was very homely. Also free parking was available.

I stayed at the Darnley Hotel with my family at the end of August. The owners are lovely people who made sure that our stay was enjoyable. I believe that we should support family-run businesses. The room was very clean with comfortable beds and home-made breakfast delicious.
