Upon arrival the apartment was warm and cosy with a bottle of Red Wine and chocolate biscuits and Alexa playing our favourite music to greet us, this special attention to detail was most appreciated. Others may take note. Access was simple, driving through Illfracombe to a barrier accessing the private parking. The apartment itself certainly had the WOW factor. It was spotlessly clean with everything you need for an exceptional stay. It is quite hilly but taking your time you should be ok especially as there is a Wetherspoons only a couple of hundred yards around the corner. The view of the ocean was spectacular and my wife and I spent most of our time sat in the magnificent armchairs in one of the Bay windows. Would I return? In a heartbeat, and we're working on a return.. 1st class accommodation would recommend it.

Apartment was modern clean and very comfortable. Great views of the sea and hill. Very close to town and Harbour. Will definitely come back.

There were just a few mostly minor things that could make the property more luxe to match its price tag. There was an issue getting into the property on time which the owner has apologised for and since rectified I believe. I felt the welcome gift was a little underwhelming; just a pint of milk and a pack of digestives. I saw in previous reviews people had mentioned a bottle of wine. There were no bath mats which I think is just a basic, rather than luxury item, so we had to use towels to save dripping over the floors. In previous reviews people had mentioned fluffy robes but we didnât have these. There were no dishwasher tablets. Normally properties provide two or three at least to get you started. The en-suite shower had quite a lot of mould on the grout which could be shifted with some mould spray. The plug in the en-suite sink didnât compress. Itâs a lovely, comfortable apartment, very spacious and with stunning views. No noise from neighbours. Great location for walking to harbour and for exploring local area. Beds were very comfortable. It was a fantastic holiday.
