The Dilkhusa Grand Hotel By Compass Hospitality

The Dilkhusa Grand Hotel By Compass Hospitality

8/10 Good
"The hotel is well overdue for a makeover, the staff, however, are excellent, although they forgot to service our room on a 2 night stay. The room was extremely disappointing, being both small & very, very scruffy. The position of the hotel is absolutely perfect for exploring Ilfracombe, if staying again will book direct with the hotel and ask for specific rooms, in all a very enjoyable visit, apart from the accommodation, the breakfast was excellent!

"Good hotel - comfortable and clean. Nice size room and well equipped. Great shower - plenty of hot water and was like a power shower. The swimming pool was good and enjoyed a swim before checking out. Thanks for a good overnight stay . Would definitely return."

Rising Sun Hotel

Rising Sun Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great breakfast and best dinner in Lynmouth - you need to book as it stands out with its great chef making what sounds like usual pub grub on the menu quite special. Although our room was above the main pub area it is still quiet early enough for a good night’s sleep. Some people struggled with the very old, small and steep steps in building so if you have mobility issues it might be worth asking for a room accessible from the outside. Lovely, big room with harbour view. A little awkward to shower in a bath with no shower curtain or similar. Most of the staff came across as very stressed, service at both dinner and breakfast was slow and at times confused and unhelpful. There is one young woman who the owners should treasure and keep - she added a welcoming, friendly, human touch and was also the one that seemed to be on top of things"

Croyde Bay Holiday Resort

Croyde Bay Holiday Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely fantastic stay at Croyde, the staff and facilities were excellent. There were so many activities available, with no fuss at all, everything was laid out already e.g. mini golf, table tennis, badminton and many more. Despite being August and fully booked, nothing felt too busy; the pool was relatively quiet both times we used it. The only possible fault I could find, is the lack of Air Con in the hotel room, but that was reflected in the price and there was also a fan provided in the room."

8/10 Good
"It was a great stay, nice facilities and amazing staff. The only reason I wouldn't say 5 is: - check in was delayed by an hour or so. - there was no spatula. - the hob fan and light didn't work - the microwave defrost was more like full power. - I didn't know what to do with the bins. Maybe I missed this somewhere. Would stay again"
