Great place, lovely position, everything you need
Lorraine
A lovely house in a good location for exploring. Was specious and well equipped with everything.
David
Did not feel like a luxury cottage, not up to the standards we have come to expect from Holiday Cottages we have stayed at in the past. Spacious cottage in a good location, let down by poor maintenance and cleaning.
Diane
A real home from home. For us it was perfect. The grandchildren loved the outside space. The house is spacious, clean and well equipped. I will certainly recommend it to friends and family.
Alec
A lovely house with everything a family could need
Janice
We loved the bi fold doors and patio area. Lovely tasteful decoration throughout. Just a short drive to the beach. Well equipped kitchen and plenty of space. A great base for Woolacombe and we will look out for it again
Ben
A very well laid out comfortable holiday cottage with all basic needs catered for. Open plan layout downstairs works really well, especially when opening up the bi-fold doors on to the patio area. Secure garden ideal for dogs. Although sited next to the main road the traffic noise is minimal and caused us no issues whatsoever. Would highly recommenRead mored. Hide
Richard
This isnt luxury accommodation. It was comfortable/budget standard. It wasnt as clean as we would expect and the property felt tired and in need of some maintenance. No Tv in king size bedroom despite being advertised. Nice location for the excellent Woolacombe beach. Would recommend taking your own towels as only provided one small towel per guestRead more and no hand towels. Lovely outside area for sitting and easy to clean your beach stuff and boards Hide
Keren
Fabulous, modern, spacious accommodation with two bath/shower rooms and full sized fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Based on the tarka trail we took a lovely, mainly downhill, walk into Ilfracombe where we recommend the Naked Cake for afternoon tea (booking recommended). You might like to catch a bus or taxi back for tRead morehe uphill return. The accommodation has outside space with table and chairs to enjoy good weather.
