Some very minor suggestions for improvement: : kitchen equipment, (no useable frying pan, scissors or bread knife), kitchen sink plug not functioning, R.H sink in main bathroom not draining properly (all easily fixed) perhaps a larger bed in 2nd double room and waste bins in rooms but they didn’t detract from our overall satisfaction. Beautiful location with outstanding views, even in bad weather, close to beaches and shops and immaculate presentation and cleanliness. Probably the best UK holiday home we’ve rented. Would highly recommend.

We had a fantastic week here, our second visit to peaceful Harrowbeard house. We enjoy Bude and visiting along the coastline, with Clovelly being a highlight. A real draw for us to this particular house though are the stunning views from the lounge and dining area across the valley and the rolling hills, the sort of beautiful view that holds your gaze. We will definitely come back.
