We chose this hotel for it's location Westward Ho! The seaside small town is ideally located on the North Devon Coast. Has the most amazing stretch of beach. The hotel was clean, our room had a view of the sea. A good restaurant and bar, for those needing a little recreation there is a games room . Staff very attentive professional.

Friendly staff and very generous breakfast portions. The cormorant room was extremely nice although the only view was a flat roof. The only complaint is that it is close to the kitchen extractor fans which made it noisy when opening windows.

Il Waterfront Inn si trova a pochi passi dalla Westward Ho beach, una spiaggia immensa soggetta ad un’incredibile variabilità a seconda della marea, ideale anche per chi vuole imparare il surf. La camera è pulita e molto spaziosa con la macchina per il caffè/te. Il ristorante offre una buona cucina inglese e la colazione, abbondante a scelta, è inclusa nel prezzo. Il personale molto gentile e disponibile. Il parcheggio, anch’esso incluso nel prezzo, è proprio dietro la struttura
