The Admiral Collingwood (JD Wetherspoon), Ilfracombe

After a 3.5 Million development by Wetherspoons The Admiral Collingwood opened early last year and is sited where the former Collingwood Hotel once stood.The North Devon Journal asked readers to put forward potential names for the new pub with the Admiral Collingwood being chosen although rather strangely the man had no connection at all with Illfracombe.The upper tier is a very smart area offering excellent views out to sea. The staff were very friendly and efficient and in general the pub had a good atmosphere with a fair assortment of cask beers.
