Walking Breaks In North Devon
Rambling, walking or simply strolling – North Devon is a great place to enjoy the scenery on foot. A stay at The Carlton in Ilfracombe provides a superb starting point for exploring the town and surrounding area.
When you base yourself at the Carlton, you are at the centre of a Designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and within a unique UNESCO biosphere. North Devon changes so much across the seasons, whether you’re looking for a sunny Summer stroll or a Winter walk there’s so much for you to choose from.
It’s also a very popular destination for walkers with dogs thanks to its varied landscape and beauty spot dog walking opportunities. We welcome dogs here at The Carlton and when you book a room, well behaved dogs can stay free, just let us know when booking. Take a look at our popular doggy breaks.
The amazing South West Coast path can be joined from the rear of the hotel. The Tarka Trail, much of it over redundant railway alignment, naturally offers a less rigorous walk, but with the opportunity to see hidden views. Read our Handy Guide to Walking in North Devon.
Why The Carlton Is A Great Stop For Walkers
At the Carlton we regularly host individual and groups of ramblers and walkers. We can fully cater for your day with a great range of meal options including Continental and full English breakfast choices, picnic lunches and mouth-watering three-course dinners. We can even arrange a rendezvous, where we deliver to you a hot soup and lunch – very popular during the colder months.
When you return to the hotel why not relax in our Library with a hot chocolate, latte, freshly brewed tea and afternoon cake? Of course our well-stocked bar and wine list can meet your other refreshment needs. Our drying room can dry any outer clothing if unusually the Devon weather isn’t so kind.
In the current Covid-19 pandemic we are following government guidance. That means we have made sensible changes to ensure you stay safe in North Devon. We have for example, reduced occupancy, removed paper materials and some decorative throws in your rooms. Tea and coffee making facilities are available on request, to ensure absolute cleanliness. And we’ve introduced single use toiletries for the time being.
It’s said that the Devon air, whether rolling across the hills and fields or breezing in from the sea, makes everyone relax. Together with our crisp cotton bedding, throws and cushions along with sumptuous beds, you are ensured a blissful night’s sleep. Guests love our new-look bedrooms that include all modern comforts like flat screen TVs (many with web access), ensuite bathrooms and welcome trays.
