The LONELY PLANET guide review .. "Perched at the top of Torrs Park with wonderful sea views this exquisite former gentleman's residence is now dotted with wonderful beds, cool lamps and contemporary art. Set on the hill overlooking Ilfracombe, there are impressive sea views from its terraced gardens and some bedrooms. Our independent authors have visited Norbury House Hotel and selected this as one of our recommended hotels in Ilfracombe and around". THE GUARDIAN 10 of the best hotels and B&Bs in North Devon "Uphill from the harbour, Ilfracombe's Torrs Park area is the posh part of town; all grand Victorian villas and so-called gentlemen's residences, harking back to grander days. Lately, it's become a little enclave of boutique B&Bs, most of them run by down-from-London professionals doing the classic lifestyle change. Norbury House is the boho option; there's a touch of Brighton about the retro-metro decor, the vintage cocktail bar in the lounge, the white piano in the conservatory. The rooms themselves are an interesting mix of jolly colours, pop posters, Victorian fireplaces and king-size beds. Some have good sea views (the harbour is a 15-minute walk)"
