A family-run hotel set in the seaside resort of Ilfracombe, Palm Court B&B is a 3-minute walk sea front and shops and just a 1-minute walk from Tunnels Beaches. The property has a nautical theme and offers free WiFi access for all guests.

I could not recommend more! I came for a weekend wedding, and Palm Court succeeded every expectation. It felt very comfortable and friendly, from when I arrived to when we left. Breakfast was outstanding, and really enjoyed the setup. I was traveling with friends in separate rooms, and we were all able to sit together. Owner was extremely accommodating when I misplaced my keys (later found!) and so helpful in preparation for the wedding weekend. I had never been to this town, but loved my entire visit, and when I (hopefully) visit in the future, I will not hesitate to stay here!

    Lovely views across Illfracombe. The big bathtub in the bedroom was a nice bonus too. A lovely, spacious apartment set in Illfracombe in a quiet part of town. Great location for getting to other parts of Devon and close enough to town you can walk around. The property was well equipped with everything we needed for our trip. The bed was very comfortable one of the best I’ve slept in. Would recommend to family and friends and stay again if in the area.

    Although we had requested a room on a lower floor, our hosts had upgraded us to a family room which was on the second floor. Our hosts apologised for their oversight but we were actually very happy with the room which was nice and large, very clean and the bed very comfortable. There was also a very large flat screen tv. Breakfast was well catered for with a choice of cereals, fruit, yoghurt, juices etc. and the cooked breakfast was very tasty.
