Cool, clean, friendly and fantastic value. It’s close to the start of the South West Coast Path, the NCN 27 aka the Coast to Coast Ilfracombe to Plymouth cycle route and great surfing beaches.

Get active in the daytime and enjoy the buzz of the hostel and the vibrant town of Illfracombe by night. Choose spacious private rooms, self-cater or eat out.  There’s lots of secure storage for bikes, boards and boots, a drying room and all bedding is provided.  Even you four legged friends are welcome too.
