Excellent location and place just as advertised. Only Let down by 2 things. It could have been cleaner - Toilets we bleached to make clean and cushions on sofa needed hoovering especially underneath. Finally, parking a problem as street full and had to pay for 2 days parking out of 3 day stay. Next door might not need to keep parking posts up any longer that restricts access to garage, so worth a follow up

We couldn't fault anything about the property, location or owner. The owner has decorated it immaculately, mixing contemporary with old. Sitting out watching the world go by on the terrace was great. We were left wine and biscuits, tea, coffee and milk for our arrival which was gratefully received. Would definitely recommend. We can't wait to return as it's a little gem.

A lovely property right in the centre of ilfracombe. Some lovely walks on the doorstep.

The house was so comfortable: unfussy, attractive, and just so relaxing. The deck overlooking the harbor was addictive--we just couldn't get enough. The location is great for accessing the harbor and the High Street, but still quiet. Would love to visit again!

We had a fantastic week. The cottage is full of character with an amazing terrace right on the quay. Lots of good walks right from the door and plenty of local pubs and restaurants.

Our second stay in this cottage. Great place and great locarion. A coupke of minor probkems were sorted out impressiveky fast and we have no complaibt at all. All in all superb.

As mentioned in our review, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The view from the proper large balcony is absolutely stunning! Just a little thing like having to buy own kitchen towels and extra toilet rolls didn’t really matter.

Manor Cottage is a delightful, quaint holiday accommodation commanding a wonderful view of Ilfracombe harbour, including Damien Hurst's Verity statue, St Nicholas Chapel high on the hill, Elephant Rock and the sea beyond.

Wow wow wow this is the second time we have stayed in this beautiful home it’s massive, quirky, parking on site in your own garage beds are so comfortable and the balcony is just amazing and the views are great we didn’t have to use the car, so much to do and see just love it can’t wait until next year

Perfect as always!

We always have an amazing stay at this little harbour cottage. Perfect location and clean accommodation. A friendly and helpful host too. Can’t fault it and we will be back again.

Brilliant upside down property in great position. Would definitely stay again

This is a quirky property with some charm directly overlooking the harbour. It might not be to everyone's taste and has tricky stairs but the pluses outweigh these factors. Because of proximity of other vehicles we found manoeuvering into the garage impossible but we were never without a space outside of the property. Overall a good find and we would like to return in spring/summer to use the outside terrace.

What a lovely, quirky cottage! We stayed for 3 days over Christmas and it was wonderful. From the welcome wine, biscuits and chocolates (thankyou Liz!) to the harbor view and decoarated Christmas tree, everything was lovely. The cottage is perfectly located and was clean, warm, cozy and very well equipped; the kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, and the beds were very comfortable. The garage is a huge plus and the view from the terrace is wonderful - our 4 legged baby loved it too!. Communication with the owner, Liz, was very good, quick responses to questions. Hope to come stay again one day and can recommend Manor Cottage 100%!

We had a very enjoyable stay in manor cottage. Beautiful and quirky place that is well located for exploring with lovely views across the harbour. Excellent communication from the property owner and the property manager in ilfracombe was there within minutes when we needed him.

Excellent characterful property that would benefit from replacement of bathroom fittings

We love this property both for its location and character. We all enjoyed a great week and hope to stay again soon.

What a beautiful place to stay, perfect location, put the car in the garage and it stopped there for our whole trip. House had everything that was needed, car parking could be an issue but I managed to get a large 8 seater car into the garage. Balcony was a great addition to the property, loving to sit and watch the sun rise, the dog loved it, laying and watching the dogs on the beach. Location was within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to visit.

Hands down this was one of the best holiday properties we’ve ever stayed at. Location wise it’s bang on the harbour with amazing views of all the comings and goings but also with easy access to all of Ilfracombe’s shops and restaurants. We loved using this as a base for walking to the nearby villages and then using the outside terrace each evening to chill with a glass of something cold. All in all I’d thoroughly recommend this property to anyone considering a visit and can’t thank Liz enough for all of the prompt help and support she provided in advance of our holiday!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. The balcony is a great place to sit and chill out,offering a superb view over the harbour, with dog friendly beach. The actual property itself is equipped with everything you need for your stay. 2 points to note though: There is a garage (which can fit an SUV and roofbox) you can get blocked in (happened twice) And the fridge is small so not really suited for a family of 4. That said, these small points are easily outweighed by the house and location.

What a find! The very best location over looking the harbour. So much to see and do right from your doorstep. Cottage stunningly appointed, comfortable and spacious, loved the decor! Perfect for families and friends alike. Very helpful, friendly owners. A slice of heaven by the sea, we shall be back!

We had a fantastic week staying at the property. The terrace was wonderful looking at all the boats, beach and RNLI! We also went Seal Swimming which is highly recommended.

Loved our stay her. Communications with Liz the owner were very good and check in no problem. Parking is not an issue as there is a garage and free on street parking if you are lucky. If not there is a public car park just paces away. The property itself is lovely with two good size double rooms and a bunk room. The lounge is comfortable and the kitchen more than adequate. What makes it is the balcony - you can spend hours just watching the comings and goings of Ilfracombe Harbour. There are lots of great places to eat in Ilfracombe and lots to do. I recommend Espresso and the Smugglers Restaurant to eat and if you want to go on the sea take the Sea Safari trip. We had a dog with us and there are some great walks - if you fancy a distance then the hike to Lee and lunch in the Grampus is great, for shorter walks there are the beaches or a stroll to Hele for an ice cream. I don't want you to find this property because we will be visiting again and I would like it to be available - but it is undoubtedly highly recommended as is Ilfracombe.

Manor Cottage was lovely and a great location to see North Devon. We particularly enjoyed using the deck at the front for a morning coffee or a drink in the evening. The cottage had all of the amenities and facilities to make our stay enjoyable.

Great place to stay. Very comfortable house with everything you need. The balcony overlooking the harbour is just perfect for a glass or 2 in the evening. Recommended

We had a wonderful week at this quirky cottage. The view was stunning it is in a perfect location and the property was very spacious. My Daughter loved all the childrens books! Only thing I would mention to others staying is that the fridge is small and the freezer is just one shelf of the fridge so for anyone with a young family like us not planning to eat out much a weeks shop wouldn't fit into the fridge you would be better doing 2 shops across the week. We would visit Ilfracombe and would book this house again. Liz was very helpful and we had great communication from her.

Wonderful location to sit and watch or to set out on a stroll. Lots to see and do in the area. Property is well set out and has everything you need but with lots of stairs, so beware. Garage is a bonus, though a bit awkward, great if you just want to put the car away for the week. The owner is very accommodating and made sure everything was OK for our stay.

Beautiful comfortable cottage, excellent location. Spent lots of lazy days on the beach and terrace. Our group age ranged from 10 to 87 and was enjoyed by all, especially the dog. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

Second time. Just as fantastic as remembered. Manor Cottage has everything you need and more went with family and couldn’t believe how many children’s toys and books there were girls loved it. Balcony great watching the RNLI in action while sipping our complimentary bottle of wine! Thank you Liz. Had great seafood at S&P just below us. And lovely meal at The Smugglers just across the Harbour. Will defo try and make this an annual event! Just love it

Enjoyed every moment. Communications prior with the owners were timely and helpful. Location was sublime, with gorgeous views. And the space in the house made for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Would heartily recommend to anyone.

My husband, daughter and I enjoyed our stay. Conveniently located near the harbour. The check in process was easy and the house was spotlessly clean. My daughter very much enjoyed playing with all the toys in the house. One minor negative was the parking. We assumed this would not be a problem as we parked in the garage. However, when we came to get our car out on one side the neighbours had raise and padlocked bollards up and on the other a car had parked over the keep clear sign. This made getting the car out of the garage very difficult. This aside it would not put us off staying here again.
