Hotel Devon Bay (Ilfracombe, United Kingdom)

Grosvenor does enjoy a prime spot in this little seaside town, so that you can easily stroll around and see all the sights without having to take the car out.

If you are prepared to shell out a little more cash and upgrade to the Torrs Suite you won't regret it. This suite is on the third floor of the hotel, with plenty of space and a fantastic vista over the sea.

All the people who work here are well trained and courteous, making you feel welcomed and valued as a guest. Even when things go wrong in the hotel they are always around to help.

When it comes to your morning meal it might pay for you to go and try one of the many local cafes and restaurants. Poor quality ingredients and lack of choice make the breakfast here a letdown.

Despite having many rooms in the hotel, the management only see it fit to provide around half a dozen car parking spaces. These aren't even right outside the hotel and you'll be lucky if you can get a free one.

One aspect of the Grosvenor that definitely is behind the times is that fact that there is no free Wi-Fi available in any of the rooms. There isn't even paid Wi-Fi available. You can only connect downstairs in the communal areas.
