"Singing in the Rain"
I stayed in Ilfracombe early in February; not an obvious holiday period, but as I was planning some solitary walking along the South West Coast Path it made sense to go out of season and enjoy the quietness and beauty of this lovely area. The Avalon Guest House is literally on the Coast Path with the sea outside the windows. breakfast-room windows Read less
Likes:
The hotel owners were very friendly and helpful. My room was always warm and comfortable, good to come back to after eleven miles of walking in the rain. There was plenty of hot water for showers.
Dislikes:
I had no problems with the hotel. Ilfracombe can be a little gloomy in the winter with many shops and restaurants closed; however, I found a friendly local pub which offered a good choice of suppers.
Would recommend to others.

Dislikes:
We stay'd B & B, Breakfast was generous but I like fried eggs without yellow yoke showing and requested basting or easy over egg's but this didn't happen. Perhaps I'm picky, but it's a simple task!
Response from Avalon Guest House:
The guest lounge was done away with before we took over 9 years ago because it was very little used as TV's were provided in all rooms back then. The property being vertical it would be dificult to fit one in without losing the ground floor room which is very popular with a lot of our guests. Sorry about the egg. I missed that request.

We are proud of our reputation for good food, comfort and service. As resident proprietors, we offer much more personal attention for our guests in the friendly and relaxing atmosphere of this Victorian 4 storey building retaining many original features. Off street car parking is available with some undercover parking available, ideal for soft top cars or where diving gear etc. needs to be stored out of sight at a small extra cost.
Ilfracombe is ideally situated for the miles of golden beaches, spectacular coastal walks and the Exmoor National Park. Coach and boat trips leave just minutes from the Guest House. You can sail to the peaceful, beautiful and un-spoilt Lundy Island, or visit one of the many open farms, children's theme parks, a butterfly house or the birds of prey centre. Bowling, fishing, quad bikes, clay pigeon shooting and an indoor swimming pool are all nearby.
We are more than happy to provide you with a bed and breakfast service during the summer as there are a range of excellent restaurants in Ilfracombe most within a 400yd walk. The option of an evening meal is available with us if you are expecting to arrive before 6:00 pm as our evening meal is served at 6:30 between September and May (Not on a Sunday) as there is a lot less choice of restaurants open especially on a Monday. We cook local produce wherever possible and offer a vegetarian option. As the meals are all prepared by us we can cater for vegan, diabetic, salt free, additive free and gluten free dietary requirements etc. as long as you let us know in advance when you inform us of your choices off the menu. Our three course evening meal, at £20 per person (with reductions for children) includes chilled still water. We no longer have a drinks licence. If you wish to provide a 'stronger' drink with your meal we will provide glasses, or chilling and we do not charge corkage.
Environmental Statement
All our lighting is low energy and has been for 8 years. We endevour to save water and reduce the the use of chemicals by only washing towels at the request of our guests. But we are aware that this near to the sea makes drying towels in the rooms is very difficult. Because of this towels that have been used are washed so that guests on returning to their room, who may have been caught in a shower, will have a dry towel to dry with.
