Snaptrip says
Bradley House is a well-received cottage in Ilfracombe, Devon, praised for its spaciousness, well-fitted features, and cleanliness. Guests enjoyed the ample rooms, en-suites, and social spaces like the games room and hot tub. The location is appreciated for its proximity to the town and harbour, despite a steep road and a sea view that is less immediate than some expected. The thoughtful touches, such as a welcome package, were also well-regarded.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently noted the property as clean and tidy, indicating high standards of housekeeping.
The property's location is generally praised for its closeness to local amenities, though the steep road and distance from the seafront are noted.
Guests found the property comfortable, with large rooms and a variety of spaces to relax, though one mention of a sloping bed suggests a minor issue.
Facilities like the games room, hot tub, and social areas are highly regarded. A suggestion for larger saucepans indicates room for improvement in kitchen amenities.
The welcome package with Prosecco and scones was a highlight for guests, reflecting thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Plenty of things available in house to do to keep everyone busy. House was clean and tidy. Had a fantastic week, sorry it had to come to an end. Only recommendation would be to have bigger saucepans as found it difficult to cook for a family of 14.

As a family of 4 couples and 2 children we all had our own large comfortable rooms with lovely well kept en-suites. The games room(s) and lower floor âsnugâ was a real treat and again very well kept and fitted out. The hot tub was also good although not used much due to the weather . The open plan kitchen / dining room / lounge provided a great space for everyone to relax , cook and socialise. The house is located close to the town perfect for walks to the shops, sea and harbour . We enjoyed visiting the numerous pubs and cafeâs. Special commendation to the little fresh fish shop on the harbour (one with the orrange gazebo ) , their fresh fish was delicious. All round a great holiday and we will definitely consider a trip here again. Thanks
