Ilfracombe is a restful resort with an ancient harbour, flower decked promenade and narrow streets lined with shops and cafes. Ilfracombe holidays in the summer see this quiet resort burst into life with pleasure craft sailing into the harbour. One of the most popular hotels in Ilfracombe, the Dilkhusa Grand Hotel is just a few minutes' walk from the town centre and harbour. Just over the road you can find the colourful Runnymede Gardens and the new Landmark entertainment centre with its theatre, cinema and Winter Gardens. Our Ilfracombe hotel’s décor offers a sense of traditional elegance amongst the hotel’s smart public rooms, which include the entertainment room, where dancing is always popular, spacious restaurant, and a games lounge and bar which is perfect to rest in after a fun-filled day spent sightseeing.
The hotel’s car park, which has limited space, is located at the side of the building. If full, a public car park (parking charges apply) is located approximately 300 yards from the hotel.

This hotel is old and can do with an upgrade in furniture, but the main thing it was clean and my single room was spacious with a separate shower room to the toilet. The entertainment was 1st class and the host, Mike, is the best I have seen in any of the Shearing’s hotels. He was always on the go and gives you all the info you need. Excellent entertainer, good singer and good jokes, never stopped working. I give him 10 out of 10. Also, the bar staff are friendly.

Well run friendly hotel - good break away
We have just returned from a 5 day break with Shearings, and I must say we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was just such a shame that my husband was unwell or it would have been just perfect. Karen on Reception could not have been more helpful or obliging when I asked if there was a walk in NHS place, she got us a doctor’s appointment within the hour and phoned for a cab for us. The next day when I told her my husband was having to stay in bed she offered to have food sent up to him, he didn't eat that day but the offer was very much appreciated. The entertainment was very good especially on the Wednesday night. The food was very nice plenty of it and the service was quick and efficient. If I was to have to find a fault I would just say the bathroom was a bit small and there was not much room to put anything. Apart from that we would certainly go again. Also must just say what a lovely friendly place Illfracombe is, I bet it is perfect in the summer months. So thanks and well done to all the friendly staff at the Dilkhusa Grand Hotel.

Who could ask for more?
If you thought good old fashioned customer service had bit the dust then you could no better than visit The Happy House of Dilkhusa Grand to restore your faith -This hotel must surely be the flagship for Shearings as it exceeds all expectations of customer service. Pleasant and friendly and welcoming to all. To say the staff go the extra mile would be an understatement! If Shearings do customer service awards then I hope every one of the staff there get one every year because they deserve it! Top*

Friendly Hotel
Hotel in need of a major upgrade, rooms small therefore poor storage space and lack of shelves, it must be said that the staff are first class and will do anything they can to help, food also very good. Entertainment first class as was the staff in charge of the entertainment.
