About this house rental
Wow what a location! Set high on the cliff above the beach at Combesgate, Woolacombe is Sunnycliffe, a bright, open-plan 3-bedroom house with amazing sea views. You can easily walk into the popular seaside resort of Woolacombe and to the 3-miles of golden sands at Woolacombe Bay, alternatively the smaller beaches of Combesgate and Barricane are over the road.
Inside Sunnycliffe, there are 3 good sized bedrooms, all located on the first floor, these include a master with sea views, a king-size double bed and an en-suite bathroom complete with a shower, a wash-basin and a WC. The second double bedroom also has fantastic views over the sea and across Woolacombe Bay to Baggy Point. The final bedroom is a twin and has two full size single beds, as well as a small balcony where you can stand and look out over the countryside and sea beyond. There is also a family bathroom on the first floor, which is fitted with a bath with a good overhead shower, a wash basin and a WC.
Downstairs at the house there is a wonderful open plan living area, which is beautifully bright and spacious and benefits from stunning sea views thanks to large windows and doors opening out onto the terrace and balcony where the breath-taking views over the sea are best enjoyed. The lounge has two large leather sofas plus a tub-chair and bean bags for children. There is a flat-screen TV/DVD and WiFi. On entering the house there is a small lobby with space to store coats and boots.
The kitchen is situated to the left as you enter the main room and is well equipped with ample storage space and work surfaces. Appliances include an electric built-in oven, a four-ring hob, a dishwasher, a microwave and a four-slice toaster, plus a small dining table ideal for relaxed breakfast. Next to the kitchen is a useful utility room with a washing machine and ironing board, plus a handy downstairs loo.
To really make the most of the incredible sea views Sunnycliffe has a lovely south facing terrace with sun-loungers and a table and chairs, plus parasol. Also to the side of the house is a lovely large balcony with a corner sofa, two chairs and a table, there is a glass balustrade to provide uninterrupted sea views.
There are steps down from the house to the parking area, where there is space for one car. One additional small car can be parked in the garage (please ask the team for additional details).
Please note Sunnycliffe is not suitable for less mobile guests, and we are unfortunately unable to welcome pets.
Sunnycliffe is perfectly located on the edge of the very popular seaside village of Woolacombe, which is renowned for its stunning golden beach that stretches for almost three miles. The award-winning beach is patrolled by lifeguards from Easter through to the end of October and is loved by water-sport enthusiasts, as well as families visiting with children. There is plenty to see and do in Woolacombe with various different shops, pubs and restaurants, if you fancy it there is even England's oldest night club located in the village. For days when the beach is not suitable, many of the nearby holiday parks are open to day visitors who can take advantage of the onsite facilities, such as a paint a pot. Further along the coast, beyond Baggy Point, which can be reached by walking the South West Coast Path is the trendy surfing village of Croyde, which is home to more great pubs and surfing shops. If heading in the opposite direction Mortehoe is just up the road from Sunnycliffe and has some great place to enjoy a meal or get a take away, with the deli providing picnics for walks along the coast path or up to Morte Point where the views are spectacular. Other nearby places worth visiting include Braunton, Ilfacombe and Combe Martin. Alternatively, Exmoor is only a 30-minute drive from Woolacombe and is a wonderful place to enjoy a traditional cream tea whilst taking in the local scenery and wildlife, make sure to stop off at Lynton and Lynmouth to see the Valley of the Rocks and the famous water-powered Cliff Railway.

When we arrived first impression was very clean & comfortable
Everything about the booking was really good
The location was situated between Woolacombe & Mortehoe which was really good for us
All in All we were very pleased
4.6
Sunnycliffe has fabulous views and it is in a great location.
Money spent on the property could bring it up to a very good standard. Unfortunately there were a few things that caused unnecessary issues.
4.6
Really glad we booked Sunnycliffe House. The position above the Watersmeet Hotel is superb, in a quiet location even in the high season, but only a 10 minute walk into Woolacombe. There is a bus stop at the bottom of the road with reasonably regular services into Braunton, Ilfracome and Barnstaple.
Very nicely appointed, clean and pretty spacious, although the third twin bedroom is a bit tight on space but adequate.
There is a very nice patio area out front with the views when the weather is ok.
If we had any gripe, it would be the wi-fi. Speed etc., is very slow and we ended up mainly using our mobile data instead. But given where you are and the fact you're there to explore and be out n about it wasn't too much of a problem,
We had a very relaxing holiday here, would happily return and would highly recommend.

Have stayed twice and would again. Really well equipped kitchen, good accommodation including downstairs loo and a truly brilliant view. Could be more comfortable with fewer hard surfaces and furnishings, and some softer lighting options. Garage really useful for bikes, surfboards etc.

We had a fabulous time walking the coast from this beautiful property, and to see and hear the sea constantly from our home for the week was a dream.
4.6
Lovely house with beautiful views of the beaches.
Would be helpful if info supplied on nearby doctors, hospital etc. Also places of attraction as well as recommended eating houses as not all visitors are surfers
4.6
We have had a great week, the views are truly stunning and plenty of outdoor areas for us all to enjoy!
The weather helped...sun all week!
Sunnycliffe was a perfect property for the 5 of us to enjoy, good kitchen with all you need for cooking.
Overall a lovely stay in a great property with the perfect location.

Great location and a wonderful stay.
4.6
Perfect location between Woolacombe and Mortehoe so we did lots of walking. Fantastic views in all directions with lots of outside space to sit and appreciate them.
The kitchen is well-equipped and the beds are comfy. If I were being picky, the sofas and pillows could be more comfortable and the table needs a tablecloth but otherwise perfect holiday despite the weather.
4.6
We had a great stay despite bad weather. The local beach is a few minutes walk and perfect for bodyboarding. The tap was situated at the entrance convenient for wetsuits. The side balcony gets morning sun so is nice for reading and relaxing. Kitchen is fine for preparing meals and dinners. Great location for the exploring the local area, which we knew already.
4.6
Nice property in a fabulous position, however, there are a few things which let it down, the main thing being the sofas which are hard and uncomfortable. Fortunately during our stay the weather was really good so we didn't have to spend much time inside.
4.6
lovely cottage excellent finish and services.....one very small comment, could you get comfier sofas?
4.6
Our second stay. You could spend all day just taking in the amazing views. The sunsets can be beautiful too.The side balcony is my favourite place to sit!
The house itself is well equipped and very comfortable including the beds.
You have to mention the fact that to get the views, you have to go up, and the drive and slope to the steps could be hard work. We are not the fittest but we manage okay with a few puffs!! We always use the garage which is ok for a small, narrower car but there's room for you and the neighbours on the drive with a bit of manoeuvring. But believe me it's worth it for the views alone.
Highly recommended .

Lovely property, clean and amazing views. Would definitely stay here again!
4.6
We have just returned from fantastically unprecedented weather in Woolacombe. Sunnycliffe is a wonderful house, perfect location with sea views, easy walking into Woolacombe, Mortehoe and the beach, there are two lovely outside spaces to take sit and relax on. All 3 bedrooms are very comfortable. The sofa wasn’t 100% comfy but that really is the only niggle we had. We would have no hesitation in returning but the price has gone up a lot for next year, shame.
4.6
The property was great and perfect for the 4 of us (2 adults, 15 and 12 year old). A 15 min walk to Woolacombe or Morthoe, and a smaller lovely beach perfect for body boarding is only 5 mins away. We did some lovely walks, including to Croyde and back, spent lots of time in the sea body boarding, the location was perfect as we prefer not being in the very centre of a town.
The property was very clean and couldn’t fault much, agree with others that the sofa’s aren’t comfortable (they recline but not easily and are against a wall), to lie on one is very uncomfortable as they’re a bit lumpy, and lamps would make it nicer in the evenings. A bottle opener would also be very helpful. I think it would be a squish for more than 4 people, but for us it was a really great place and we’d definitely recommend.

Fantastic Views
Had a great stay at Sunnycliff house for a week early June. The house was clean and well equipped with ample room for my two children. The views from the two balconies where amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would visit again. Although it didn't pose any problems for us I would advise anyone with mobility issues not to book this property.
Thanks again to Harry and Amanda for responding to us quickly with the couple of queries we had the service was top notch 👌

Needs a little more comfort.
Sunnycliffe is almost the perfect place to stay for beautiful views and location but needs a little more help to make it comfortable. The sofa’s in the lounge need cushions.
There needs to be a table cloth.
The parking arrangements need to be clearer before booking as nightmare to manoeuvre.
4.6
Amazing view
We had a great stay at Sunnycliffe house. The view was amazing and it was so relaxing to be able to sit outside and hear the sound of the waves.
The driveway and steps up to the property were steep but you would expect this with the location of the property.
The house had everything we needed, though some operating instructions for the oven and hob wouldn’t go amiss!
It was about a 10 minute walk in to town. Lovely and peaceful, we didn’t want to leave and would definitely recommend this property to our family and friends.
4.6
Amazing views and great location
The cottage is in a fantastic location and has the most amazing views, Having a side balcony and a front garden ensures when the sun shines you can get it all day! As for the cottage itself, it is well equipped and was exceptionally clean. Leather sofas not the comfiest for relaxing on an evening in our opinion but wouldn’t stop us re booking.

We have stayed at many properties over the years but this property had the best views we have ever had, absolutely stunning ! The property itself was clean, functional and comfortable and situated perfectly to explore the surrounding areas. We had a fantastic stay.

A dream holiday location
Absolutely stunning views from the property which has good quality furnishings. Exceeded expectations and we are already planning to return next year.
4.6
Lovely property, brilliant location
This property is in an excellent location on the border of Mortehoe and Woolacombe, 15mins easy walk into Woolacombe and a 15mins uphill walk to Mortehoe, a short walk to the coast path. To get to the property you need to walk up 26 steps which is a bit hard going when you are carrying luggage, shopping etc, but worth it for the beautiful views.
My only disappointment was didn't find the settee very comfortable, after a long day walking would have been nice to have had a more relaxing settee to sink into!!!
4.6
Family break
Lovely accommodation located close to the beach. Quite a steep incline to get from the car park to the front door of the property but lovely views over the bay once you arrive so worth the effort. Lovely outdoor seating area to the side of the property that is a real sun trap. Good size rooms that were very clean. My only criticism
is there were no lamps in the living room so lighting was a bit harsh for my personal taste.

Stunning location, comfortable property
A lovely stay...just one or two details- a dryer would be a bonus as would some plastic plates and tumblers for children to use. The towel rail in the main bathroom wasn’t working(we had to use the other one to air some washing as we couldn’t get radiators to work either). Excellent to have downstairs toilet and separate utility room. Comfortable furniture and beds.

Warm, comfy accommodation with a view to die for!!!
This is the second time we have stayed at Sunnycliffe and it is a little gem with stunning views 24/7. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived and very comfortable with a lovely large bed where you go to sleep and wake up looking and listening to the sea. The only small negative is the leather sofas were a little uncomfortable to relax on - but to be fair who wants to sit on them when you have all that walking, scenery and fresh air to take in! We have booked for 2021 and can't wait!

Great house
Lovely clean house in the perfect location. The weather wasn’t great but couldn’t stop looking at that view. Have booked for next year.

Great holiday!
we had a fantastic week at Sunnycliffe. The cottage is in a perfect location, close to a range of different beaches and only a 10 to 15 min walk from the centre of Woolacombe.
The cottage is comfortable and has everything you need. The view from the balconies is amazing. Loved sitting their with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine!
4.6
Comfortable house with beautiful seaside walks
The house was very comfortable, clean and warm. However the access is pretty steep and many people would struggle getting up the slope and steps. We appreciated the milk and other provisions left for us.
4.6
Great position could be cosier
We had a really lovely stay at Sunnycliffe, the position and view could not be beaten. The house was very clean except for the towel rails in both bathrooms which needed some serious cleaning, but the housekeeper came straight over to do them when I mentioned it to her.
It is a very well equipped house with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen.
The beds were ok and comfy, mattresses were rather soft but that is a personal preference.
We had an unfortunate run in with the neighbour who was extremely aggressive, I hope never to see him again. You would have thought that he was the owner but I don't think he was??
The house is mainly laid to laminate which means that it is spotlessly clean but maybe a little clinical with the leather sofas as well, it would benefit from maybe a rug and more cushions to soften it up and maybe some standards lamps so that the lighting can be softened in the evenings.
I'm not a big fan of leather sofas but again personal preference, I think that there are very cold but I am sure make a practical choice for rentals.
Fantastic views from both balcony's and lots of coast walking right from the door.
My only other criticism is the choice of carpet for the entrance hall? Not very practical, surely this should also have had laminate.
It really smelt in the entrance, and again the housekeeper was very quick to come and clean the carpet but the smell remained and I had to wash all the coats that we took when we returned home as they had absorbed the sickly smell while hung up out there.
Apart from this had a great week staying at Sunnycliffe and a fantastic New Years Eve at the Watersmeet hotel dinner and party.
4.6
Lovely cozy break for Christmas
We had a lovely relaxing break for Christmas. The property was warm and welcoming and had plenty of space. The views were spectacular. The only down side was that it was a bit under equipped for cooking more than the basics and the boiler can be a bit loud. Over all a lovely stay.
