The North Devon coast is, for me, one of the most fantastic places in the UK. There are lots of activities to do in the area including surfing, hiking, cycling, horse-riding, scuba diving, wildlife-watching, fishing, and exploring.
My wife and I have just enjoyed a stay at the TowersHotel in Ilfracombe, which is an ideal location for visiting north Devon. The hotel is a spectacular Victorian-style building with the slightly-over-the-top architecture which could only work in a building of this era.

Advantages: The views and location. Relaxing and comfortable. Friendly and Efficient Staff. Disadvantages: Perhaps a little expensive.

Advantages: Large and comfortable room, quite good breakfast Disadvantages: Very poor Reception, dull dinner, boring bar
