Ilfracombe is a small town on the North Devon coast in the west of England. It has a plethora of bed and breakfast accommodation but not very much in the way of anything to actually do or see, what you can see is not particularly attractive and in the worst cases very run-down. For a much better example of a pretty Devon seaside town, try Woolacombe or Croyde Bay which are in this area and are immeasurably more pleasant places to stay and visit.
