My partner and I stayed at Grosvenor House for a week at the end of July and all I can say is it was ‘best’ place we have ever stayed. We had the most wonderful time here with the best hosts you could imagine, Nick and Andrew. …

We’ve just returned from a fabulous stay in Ilfracombe at the beautiful boutique guest house Grosvenor House, run by the most perfect hosts, Nick & Andrew. The Grosvenor House is situated in a great location for easy walking access to local beaches and attractions. We were greeted on arrival with the most wonderful cream tea with warm scones, what an unexpected treat! Our room was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable. Breakfast is delicious with a great choice of hot and cold options, the vanilla yogurt with fruit was a winner, so beautifully presented! We can’t wait to return to the Grosvenor House again for a weekend away and would highly recommend it to all!

Grosvenor House was an amazing accommodation. Great location as everything was within walking distance. Nick and Andrew were the best hosts you could possibly ask for and they recommended some amazing places to eat at. The room was decorated beautifully and it was absolutely spotless. We loved the whole styling of the place. Breakfast was absolutely delicious with a lot of choice. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Shame I can't add more stars but just got back from a 4 day stay with Nick and Andrew and what can I say.From the moment we arrived we were greeted by the owners who promptly took our case up to our room and quickly followed it with Tea for 2 after our guided tour of the establishment.This was the standard set and carried on throughout our stay.Breakfast was superb and nothing was too much trouble for them.The decor will take your breath away and the rooms are really comfortable and the plus of off road parking.We can recommend The Grosvenor 100% and will definitely return to stay again. 👍

Can not say enough about the fantastic welcome from Nick & Andrew, we arrived earlier than planned as surprisingly not to much traffic but this was no problem, our bags were taken to our room and after a 3 hour journey we were asked if we would like a cup of tea which was just what the doctor ordered, not only did a pot of tea arrive but also scones with jam and cream!!The room was beautiful and so tastefully furnished it put many hotels we have stayed in to shame. Nothing was too much trouble and the breakfast was delicious. There is a saying that you can't please everybody but I would be amazed if anyone could find fault with Grosvenor House.I would certainly book to go back whenever in the area as this is an absolutely beautiful house with the friendliest hosts who have truly nailed the hospitality business.

We traveled to Ilfracombe as two couples. A really lovely B&B in the centre of the town, ten minutes walk to the harbour. The house is stunning, rooms are well presented, clean and comfy. …
