Guests say

Guests are delighted with the beautifully furnished and spacious apartment, praising its stunning views and ideal location in Ilfracombe. The property's tasteful decor and comfortable beds are frequently mentioned, alongside the thoughtful touch of Christmas decorations. While parking is noted as challenging and some concerns about steps to the rocks are raised, the overall experience is highly recommended, with many expressing a desire to return.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The apartment is consistently described as spotlessly clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating a high standard maintained throughout the property.

The location is highly praised for its sea views and proximity to the town and harbour. However, concerns about the dangerous steps and challenging parking slightly impact the perfect score.

Comfort is frequently commended, especially the beds and spaciousness. However, a few guests mentioned stuffy bedrooms and a lack of air circulation, which slightly lowers the score.

Facilities are generally well-received, with a modern kitchen and good quality furnishings. Some minor feedback on the lack of pint glasses, a shaver point, and patio maintenance suggests room for improvement.

While guests appreciate the Christmas decorations, there is no consistent mention of gifts or additional thoughtful touches across the reviews to accurately score this category.

    My family had a fantastic holiday, the apartment was beautiful with everything you could want for. The view was amazing with the constant smell and sound of the sea making it so relaxing. We even spotted dolphins from the veranda! Liked it so much we have booked for next year.

    It was far nicer than the photos led you to believe. The space and view were the best we have had staying in the UK. The description on the website needs to be updated to include all the facilities as there is no mention of a tumbledryer or coffee machine. The patio was being cleaned when we arrived, but just the piece to the left of the property, looking from the patio doors. Unfortunately the main part wasn't cleaned and the mud from the patio was left across the bottom so you couldn't walk out without shoes on.

    Who doesn't love the sound of the sea as you open the door in the morning
