We love this eclectic apartment.... Everything we needed was there. It's actually bigger than we expected. Location was perfect - close to harbour, restaurants and bars but also quiet at night. Owner super friendly. I could not fault this place
I did not like the fact that we only stay for 3 nights. I wish we stay for longer

This quirky and different apartment is in a great spot in Ilfracombe with sea views from the terrace.
the furnishings are certainly eclectic and it’s a fun place to stay for a few days.
Some may worry there’s not parking at the property. it wasn’t a problem for us though as we stopped to drop off our things and then parked locally and cheaply.

Location was excellent close to harbour and restaurants. Very homely cottage and Sophie is a perfect host.
Nothing!

place was well situated near the town centre. Sophie was lovely, the host, her cottage is very cosy and she was available to us at all times just in case of any issues or questions. Would recommend to any one wanting a get away close to beach and town. but beware of the hills!!
only problem was parking, we had to park in local car park at a rate of £10 for 24 hours, which was a good 10 minutes walk away.

Sound proofing between the floors could be better but it is Grade 2 listed so that might be difficult to achieve

The location was perfect, close to harbour, pubs, shops and incredible gateway to coastal walks. Sophia was fantastic, helpful and the cottage stunningly different, cosy and well equipped.
The fact that we had to come home...x

The location was good and close to the harbour, pubs etc
Being woken up at 7am every morning by the owners footsteps up above and her shouting at her cats to get off the furniture. You can hear everything up above and I mean everything.

Really enjoyed our stay here, Sophia the owner was very welcoming, the apartment was great and the terrace was cool to chill on. We would recommend this accommodation, we would also recommend the coastal path walk from Ilfracombe to Lee for the great views
9.0
The location is superb, less than a few minutes walk to the harbour and local amenities! Having a gorgeous terrace to sit on in the evening (with bbq!) was an added bonus.
The kitchen facilities at The Old Eclectick are finished to an extremely high standard, we found having this space handy for those few evenings when we didn't go out.
Sophie is a very attentive host, she couldn't do any more for us. And since she lives in the apartment above the cottage she is always on hand should you need anything. Would definitely return 👍
There isn't any parking included but the car park is just down the road.

I had a good email exchange with Sophia before our visit and she provided excellent directions and information about local restaurants. She was on hand to great us on our arrival at fairly short notice.
One minor issue was the poor ventilation in the shower room.

Sophie was a brilliant host, had so much info to give us which made our stay so much easier when trying to find food locations, the location of the property was just perfect, and only a short drive to saunton beach where we spent most of the time surfing, It was lovely to come back to illfracombe on the afternoon/ evening to peace and tranquility. A little slice of heaven. And our fur babies loved their stay too, thank you again Sophie for making us feel so welcome. We will be back 🐶🐶

We had an enjoyable stay at The Old Eclectick, such an old world, quirky place. Loved all of the art and little touches that made it interesting and cosy. Brilliant location we really enjoyed sitting on the terrace admiring the view and people watching. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is included and the added bonus was special deli dogs treats which our Bedlington terrier was thrilled about! Thanks Sophia
Everything was great 😊

A stunning wee apartment with a charming and totally unique and arty style. Incredibly central with beautiful views and everything you could need. We only discovered the super-cozy TV lounge on the second night. Perfect for a candle-lit takeaway!
Sophia was extremely welcoming and helpful - despite us forgetting to mention our dogs.
We’d love to stay again when we’re next down.

Sophia couldn’t do more for us.
The hill. (We knew that though and wouldn’t stop us staying again)
