Serenity Sunset Lodge in Ilfracombe, Devon, is generally praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches such as complimentary gifts. Guests appreciate the well-equipped property and its proximity to local attractions. While most reviews are positive, highlighting the lodge's beautiful decor and welcoming atmosphere, there are some concerns regarding maintenance and facilities.
The majority of guests report the lodge as very clean, with lovely decor. One review mentioned a sticky substance and dog hair, but this seems to be an isolated incident, not reflective of the overall experience.
While the reviews mention the lodge being within easy reach of local attractions, there is insufficient detail to accurately assess the location. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.
Guests have found the beds super comfy and the lodge comfortable overall. However, one review cited hard mattresses and substandard pillows, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a coffee machine and Wi-Fi. However, there are reports of maintenance issues such as difficult-to-open windows and a hazardous step, which lowers the score.
The owners are commended for their thoughtfulness, with several mentions of complimentary gifts and good communication. It should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed with every stay.

The furnishings were beautiful, and the little touches made it stand out from all the rest.Contact from the owners was much appreciated, which came via a text a couple of days into our stay to check all was well. Attention to detail was very noticeable. I was so amazed by each and every room. I even had a sea view from one of the sofas. The beds were so comfortable too. Just an amazing lodge.
