Guest rooms feature parquet floors, heating, and seating areas, with some offering views of the harbor. A European-style restaurant and bar operate on-site, serving dishes such as fish and chips or bistro-style meals, with breakfast options available each morning. The hotel provides free WiFi throughout the property. Nearby landmarks include Ilfracombe Harbour (500 meters), Fleek Gallery (300 meters), and Watermouth Castle (2 km). Exeter International Airport is 100 km away. The nearest golf course, Royal North Devon Golf Club, is 36 km from The Grand Harbour Hotel.

Free WiFi is available in all rooms and public areas.

The location is within walking distance of Wildersmouth Beach and Ilfracombe Harbour.

Rooms include flat-screen TVs with streaming services and tea/coffee makers.

“For a harbourside stay in Ilfracombe that doesn't break the bank, this hotel impresses with its clean, comfortable rooms and central location. While rooms prioritize function over frills, the comfortable beds and powerful showers stand out, and breakfast at a nearby sister hotel adds a delightful touch with its harbour views. Its value shines through, making it a smart choice for those prioritizing location and comfort.”
