Guests say
Cairnwood Premier offers a charming and tranquil coastal retreat with stunning views and direct beach access, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. Guests consistently praise the peaceful atmosphere, friendly staff, and the added luxury of a hot tub. While the location and scenery are standout features, some reviews mention that the lodges could benefit from a refresh and more thorough cleaning. Overall, it is a cosy and well-equipped spot, perfect for couples or small groups seeking a restful break by the sea.
Many guests found the accommodation clean and tidy, but several noted issues such as dirty floors, cobwebs, and a general need for deeper cleaning. Some bathrooms and windows were reported as needing more attention.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful coastal views, proximity to the beach, and peaceful surroundings. Guests enjoyed easy access to walks and local attractions.
Most guests found the beds comfortable and the lodges cosy, though a few mentioned uncomfortable sofas and limited space, especially in the bathrooms and for those travelling with dogs.
Facilities such as the hot tub, kitchen, and parking are appreciated, but some guests noted maintenance issues, tired furnishings, and occasional problems with the hot tub or WiFi. The lodges are generally well-equipped for short stays.
There are no mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

We’ve been advised by the National Grid that there is a planned power outage scheduled for Tuesday, 4th November 2025, from 08:30 to 17:00. Unfortunately, this will affect Beach Cove.This essential work is being carried out by the National Grid and is outside of our control. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.Thank you again for your understanding.
Dear guests
We're writing to let you know about a scheduled power outage at Beach cove Coastal resort on Tuesday 24th March 2026, between 9:00am and 4:30pm. This is due to essential infrastructure upgrades being carried out by the National Grid in the local area and, despite our best efforts, the timing is unfortunately outside of our control.
Reception will remain open throughout, though our electronic systems will be offline during this period.
A few things worth doing before the outage begins:
Charge phones, tablets and laptops ahead of time
Prepare any hot drinks or snacks you might need during the day
The silver lining? It's a brilliant excuse for a day out.
Ilfracombe and the North Devon coast have plenty on offer — here are a few ideas to make the most of the day:
Tunnels Beaches — Victorian hand-carved tunnels leading to sheltered tidal pools. Genuinely unique.
The Harbour & Verity — wander the quayside and see Damien Hirst's iconic 66ft statue up close.
South West Coast Path — dramatic cliff walks with stunning views back over Ilfracombe.
Watermouth Castle — rides, a maze and dungeon labyrinths, great for families.
Combe Martin Wildlife & Dinosaur Park — another cracking family day out just up the road.
Clovelly — one of Devon's most picture-perfect villages, well worth the short drive.
We'd recommend heading out after breakfast and making a proper day of it — you'll be back well in time for the evening with plenty of stories to tell.
We're sorry for any inconvenience this causes and hope it doesn't take the shine off what should be a fantastic break. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to get in touch — our team is on hand to help.
Warm regards, Hoseasons

We stayed for 3 nights and had a lovely time. For what we paid, the accommodation was excellent and had everything we needed, the hot tub was a great addition. The only downfall was how small the bathroom/ shower cubicle was, but this is understandable with the size of the lodge. It was a beautiful view from the sofa, looking out at the sea and the site was in a good location to explore Ilfracombe and take the short drive to Woolacombe. Would definitely recommend for a short break for a couple.

The location itself was lovely. Although there isn’t a huge amount to do in the immediate area, the beach was beautiful and made for lovely morning walks with the dogs.Unfortunately, the chalet itself was extremely small. We knew when booking that it was a one-bedroom chalet, but we were still surprised by how little space there actually was. We were later told that the chalet we had been given was actually the largest one, which made the lack of space even more disappointing.The accommodation is advertised as being suitable for dogs, including allowing up to three dogs, but realistically there is barely enough room for the people to move around, let alone three dogs. It simply isn’t practical for a week-long stay with multiple dogs, and I feel this should be made much clearer in the advertising.The hot tub also appeared quite dated. On our first use, a piece actually came off and water started shooting out. To their credit, this was repaired the following day, although it was obviously disappointing to have an issue so soon after arriving.Ultimately, the lack of space meant that we had to leave early. Having paid over £800 for the stay, this was extremely disappointing. When we left, there was nobody available at reception, so the only response we received was an apology from the maintenance man.The location and beach were lovely, but based on our experience, I would not recommend this accommodation for a full week, particularly if you are travelling with dogs. Three dogs may technically be allowed, but the chalet simply isn't spacious enough to make that a comfortable or practical stay.
