Guests often appreciate the spacious rooms at Dilkhusa Grand Hotel, some even featuring large bay windows. The hotel's location is also a plus, being within walking distance of the harbour, pubs, restaurants, and across from the beach and theatre, and with a convenient bus stop to Barnstaple right outside.

The room had crisp white sheets and fluffy towels. I found it very clean! The location was also a definite plus. It had a bus stop right outside. Breakfast included a selection of cereal and a cooked option. I chose bacon and eggs. The staff was very friendly, though.

The room provided a decent space for my needs. A kettle was present with adequate coffee and tea supplies. I found the location quite convenient. Public transport was easily accessible due to the bus stop located right outside.
