Chuck and Lewis go above and beyond the line of service. Offering valuable insight of North Devon, flexible support in all aspects of travel and comfort, are excellent cooks, hosts, and charming people overall. Loved just about everything except the tight parking lot. The parking spaces were not the most fat friendly. Good thing they are within walking distance of the harbor and boutique shops. Would love to visit again. I highly recommend The Earlsdale if staying anywhere near Ilfracombe.

This is a lovely Victorian style building which has been altered and modernised to suit the purpose of a guest house. There are a few very minor cosmetic areas that can be improved on but the owners, Lewis and James have only been in the property a few months and are working their way through a plan of refurbishment. As they say, you can't do everything at once, and the few small things that need attention certainly don't detract from a pleasurable stay. Lewis and James are wonderful hosts. Nothing is too much trouble. The breakfasts are absolutely wonderful too. We will certainly be back and we can't recommend this guest house highly enough. We also like the fact that it is for adults only and no pets are allowed. There are times and places where we just enjoy peace and quiet. Thanks so much guys.

Charming hotel with chraming hosts.
Fantastic stay. Hosts were very warm and welcoming - made every effort to be of assistance and provided a lot in a short stay - welcome drinks & homebaked cookies, good chat and great advice on the local area. The hotel was vert tastefully laid out and decorated, with fantastic features and art to appreciate. Room and bathroom were very large, everywhere was very clean. Beds were very comfortable. Easy to park. I really enjoyed the bar and the fact that drinks and snacks could be taken on an honesty basis - really refreshing. Breakfast was superb.
