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.
The interior is kept in-style with the overall building and is exceptionally clean and tidy. Even the Victorian features such as the high ceilings, covings and high skirting boards were in clean, good condition which must take a lot of work by the owners.

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

Advantages: DECENT LOCATION WITHIN THE CITY Disadvantages: THERE ARE CHEAPER ALTERNATIVES
I visited this hotel when i visited Gothenburg recently. As you walk in to the massive lounge you are greeting by wonderful decor and staff that are immacuatley turned out.
I made the mistake of not booking in advance and despite there being a boat convention on in the hotel (which was attracting people from around the world) and it being 9pm in the evening the lady at reception went out of her way to find me a room after it was initially found to be full.
My room did not have the best view in the world, and i found my bed uncomfortable (it was a hard matress and i prefer soft) but, again, the decor and bathroom were worth the eur 150 a night we were staying.
On the ground floor was a wonderfully decidant lounge bar which served a mixture of cocktails, wines, spirits and beers. The drinks are not cheap, but they are not ...
