Excellent clean hotel. Location fantastic. Parking available on site and off street. Beautiful clean hotel with fantastic breakfast. The staff were attentive, helpful and very friendly. Comfortable beds,

Only bad points, incredibly lumpy pillows very cheap toilet paper and inconsiderate guests who can only slam doors with no thought for other hotel guests obviously not the hotels fault. Pillows and toilet paper an easy fix other guests out of hotels control. We were not put off the hotel at all and would happily stay again.

The hotel was easy to find, value for money, exceptionally clean. The bed was very comfortable, my room was at the front of the hotel overlooking the road and was quiet. A nice choice of breakfast food. Has a lift which is handy of you have mobility difficulties. Very friendly staff. It was a nice bonus having a bottle of water on day off arrival (in the fridge) and a bottle of water the next day. A very nice two day stay.

There is limited parking at the hotel, when full the residential roads are suggested, however when I arrived the hotel was full and no spaces in the roads near to the hotel. I had to park 15 minutes away which was tricky for me with suitcase, hold-all and handbag. I have respiratory issues making the walk to the hotel tricky. Maybe letting people who have similar health issues/disabilities know by writing on the hotel description.

I arrived an hour or so before check in time, so cheekily asked if I could check in early. Not only did they let me check in early, but they upgraded my room from a single to a double! My room was clean with all the mod cons, and more importantly the bed was comfy. Breakfast was lovely. Being a vegetarian I was pleased to see there was plenty for me to choose from. Parking wasn’t an issue. If you couldn’t get parked in the hotel car park, there was free on street parking in front of and behind the hotel. Just a short walk to local amenities, cafes, amusements and restaurants. I bought myself a coffee from a lovely little cafe along the front and sat on Ilfracombe Beach watching the waves. It was tranquil and beautiful!

The only downside was that there were building works taking place opposite that were a bit noisy and started pretty early in the morning, but I do appreciate the hotel had no control over this. However this was the only negative! Would come back again.

The welcome on arrival was great and Michael always seemed on hand to help. I'd been in touch earlier in the week and the gentleman was very helpful and able to accommodate our (changed) needs. The choice of breakfasts was very wide and we tasted a variety, all of which were excellent and perfect poached eggs - great chef!

The showers were really good, although you could hear the humming from other rooms when someone had theirs but it didn't last long. We hit some good weather so the room was quite warm at night, you could open the windows but if you don't want to hear early morning seagulls, shut it and use the fan provided as standard in each room.

Dinner and breakfast were excellent. The service was exceptional. The proprietor was engaging, informative, friendly and ready to cater to our welfare. This was the best reception we received after having stayed in several hotels in the southwest over a two week period. The room was modern and clean.

In hindsight would have booked the king size room for two.

I was a little apprehensive about booking this location at first, I saw the picture and skipped by. We went back and decided we would give a try. So glad we did! What an awesome experience. We arrived and was greeted by Michael (I believe he was one of the owners, not sure). We stayed for 3 nights and Michael was one of the most responsive people I have ever come across while staying at a hotel. He and the other staff went out of their way to make sure everything was okay. They made us feel like we had all of their attention. Can not praise them enough! The hotel rooms were spotless and seemed brand new. The food was excellent, service excellent and it was in a great location; what else can you ask for. Highly recommend this hotel!

Nothing!

The kinder people we have met in the UK, and regarding their overall kindness, this is a real compliment !!! Friendly people from the reception to the restaurant, as well as other customers, all really polite and quiet. They booked us a restaurant, gave us advices for wine and for visits, and were also really kind and patient with every customer (including families with small children, or elderly and/or disabled person) Everything was clean and neat, the gym is small but very well equipped.

The loud seagull in the early morning... and the Wi-Fi that could be a bit quicker.

From the first step in the front door you enter a different time zone, the upgrade so well done right though the complete hotel. Breakfast was very good selection, Dinner menu was so good we eat in the hotel all three nights. Michael and all his Staff could not do enough for you. Room upgrade on booking in. House keeping was very good, even bottle water was in the fridge each day. Even with a Coach party in for two of our days, it did not affect our stay, other than make parking a bit tight

Lovely large room with excellent bathroom with walk in shower and a bath. Very clean and well equipped.

My pet hate is not having a dressing table with a mirror and close to electric socket. There was a mirror in the wardrobe by a socket but not the best to have to move a sofa to open the wardrobe fully, then stand to do your hair and makeup! A dressing table would have been better than a table and 4 chairs. !

The carlton is in a great location! Close to everything. Breakfast was really tasty. and the staff were very nice and informative about the area. The room was also very nice.

Everything was great, the only thing I can think of was the room was a tiny bit smaller than expecting and not that much room for two people to get ready at the same time, especially if you're like me as bring loads of things.
