The hotel was not what we expected - The pool was dirty and not heated, the breakfast was terrible - full english was greasy and minimal. The hotel staff was friendly but we found the rooms very basic. The bathroom was so small you could barely open the door to get in. Ilfracombe itself was full of fish and chip/kebab... more

Opposite the hotel is a tall hill you can climb and look across to see the whole of Ilfracombe, a lovely sight. Only drawback with the hotel is the size of the car... more

The Arlington Hotel is a small good value hotel well situated for both the town and sea front in Ilfracombe. The staff are pleasent and the food good even if the vegtables were a bit overcooked.It is however on a very very steep hill and the short walk from the nearby car park is quite tiring. more
