High Tide is a very well equiped, well maintained and very clean holiday apartment with a lovely enclosed and secure patio / garden area. Parking is easy. Our host, Steve, was an extremely helpful and 'on hand' host without being in anyway intrusive. The location is fantastic for just walking in and around Combe Martin (which has a good selection of pubs and restaurants), and it has easy access to both the beaches. It's also perfect for touring the wider area of this beautiful part of North Devon and accessing the coastal path. We highly recommend it. Thanks to Steve and Julie for providing an ideal holiday base and being great hosts.

Lovely warm and comfortable apartment, close to shops and cafes. Also close to beach and walking routes, and bus stop. A good base for wider exploration east, south and west. Pleasant sunny and sheltered sitting out area, and well equipped kitchen. We had a great week.
