Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviews consistently mention the property being clean and well-maintained, with only a single minor remark about the oven's cleanliness. The high standard of cleanliness contributes significantly to the guests' positive experiences.

The location is frequently described as stunning, with incredible views and a peaceful setting. Its proximity to local attractions and the town of Ilfracombe adds to its appeal, making it an ideal base for exploring Devon.

Guests have found the house very comfortable, with plenty of space for both adults and children. The property's ability to provide a cosy atmosphere even during inclement weather is particularly appreciated.

The facilities, including the games room and telescope, are well-received, although there is a mention of a complicated oven and a missed portable hob. The overall impression is that the house is equipped to a high standard.

Several reviews express gratitude for the welcome packages and the owners' efforts to make guests feel welcome. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches, although common, cannot be guaranteed for every stay.
