Fantastic Stay
Just returned from a five night visit from the Carlton Hotel Ilfracombe with our Dog Ruby, and all I can say is that our stay was outstanding. Everyone there went out of their way to make us feel welcome, we will definitely be returning
Thanks to everyone
Lovely hotel and great food
We stayed at the Carlton over a weekend with other family members. The rooms were stylish and comfortable with very nice on suite facilities. The staff made us feel very welcome and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The food in the hotel restaurant was outstanding, we ate there on both nights and the full English breakfast was cooked to perfection. Ilfracombe is a lovely seaside town set in beautiful scenery and the wonderful Woolacombe beach is just a few minutes away in the car.
