The flat had lovely views, was clean and bright with everything we needed. The owners were friendly and were on hand if we wanted anything. We would definitely stay here again.

Our stay in Farthings Nest was wonderful. We loved everything about it. It looked even better than the pictures. Extremely clean, everything you needed and more for a relaxed holiday. Stunning sea views while you enjoyed a drink on your very own patio. A short walk to Ilfracombe harbour, shops and restaurants. We both enjoyed our complementary creamed teas, that were in a welcome hamper Loved the decor and the bed was extremely comfortable, which to us is crucial. Steph and Mick made sure we were happy with everything, and if we needed we only had to ask.(which we didn’t because it had everything) We felt completely at home and have already recommended it to our friends and family, and intend to visit again.

Farthings Nest has modern, bright and comfortable accommodation. Everything needed for a relaxed holiday has been catered for. Plus I’m confident that should any problem arise, the host (who reside above the property) would be more than happy to help if possible. The apartment is only about a 15 minute walk to the harbour, but be aware that Ilfracombe has very steep streets.

I booked this for my elderly parents as a Christmas present. Then came the covid restrictions...but Steph was great at reorganization to a different date when travelling was allowed. The property was immaculate, spotless and we'll equipped. It had great views and the hosts were very helpful. My parents loved their stay and have been singing it's praises to all and sundry.

This accommodation should be five star. The comfort and the furnishings were second to none. The cream tea was a lovely touch, and very tasty. Steph and Mick are very helpful when needed. Would highly recommend Farthings Nest to anyone.

A superb apartment in nice neighbourhood with great views. The facilities are excellent and of high quality.

This is an extremely comfortable clean and beautiful apartment overlooking Ilfracombe harbour. We enjoyed the coastal walks and beaches despite stormy weather and Steph could not have been more welcoming and helpful.

We arrived just a day before our age group was told by the PM to self-isolate for maybe 4 months. Not the best way to start a holiday! Panic buying in the local supermarket; cold, drizzly, misty weather & muddy, spongy countryside making walking (our preferred activity) unpleasant; having to avoid crowds; National Trust properties semi- or completely closed: we went home 3 days early. But that’s not to imply anything at all unfavourable about Farthings Nest. In all normal circumstances, it is a spotless, charming, delightfully furnished and equipped accommodation with a lovely view (the mist DID sometimes disappear!) overlooking Ilfracombe. If we come OK out of the corona virus, we might well consider returning to redo the week we HAD intended, had the abnormal weather and the CV not intervened.

Very comfortable and stylish annexe, just right for a couple. Lovely views of the sea and surrounding area. We were unlucky with the weather, rain and strong winds for our first few days but were able to explore the area later. Lovely cappuccino at Watersmeet Hotel , Woolacombe after a bracing walk on the beach. Thanks to Stephanie and Michael for the welcome hamper on arrival.

We arrived at Farthings Nest after a very busy Christmas catering for family looking for peace and quiet, We were not disappointed. The annex was everything we hoped for and more besides. Sparkling clean with beautiful linen. The annex was very well equipped with everything you needed for a self catering holiday. Steph and Mike are very welcoming but not intrusive and always happy to help with local information. We were surprised with a lovely hamper full of Christmas goodies which we really enjoyed. Although attached to the main house it was extremely private with fabulous views from the lounge and bedroom. The lounge was very relaxing and comfortable as was the bedroom. On warmer spring / summer days it has its own private garden for outside dinning looking out to sea. A short drive to the harbour gives you easy access to the beautiful Tarka coastal walks. Stunning views. Also short car journey to beautiful beaches. We would definitely recommend accommodation to anyone, and if you haven't explored this part of Devon, Ilfracombe is a perfect place to stay.

A Christmas relaxing break, home from home ,wonderful, thank you Steph and mick

A great spot to chill out with stunning sunsets every night over the sea. Steph and Mick friendly, kind and helpful without being intrusive ...... perfect!

Spotlessly clean,super comfortable bed,everything was first class.the apartment is a credit to Steph and her partner.lovely garden and patio.highly recommended.cream tea was a thought full gesture and appreciated thank you for a great holiday 😃

What a lovely apartment to stay in while exploring North Devon. It had everything (you could not wish for anything more)! Beautiful views from apartment and garden, wonderful sunsets. So relaxing, stress just melted away and that bed soo comfy. What an added welcome touch, the flowers and the full cream tea waiting for you when you arrive!! Top marks to Steph and Mick

We have just spent a lovely and relaxing New Year break at Farthing’s Nest. We were greeted on arrival with a lovely hamper of goodies and welcome card from Steph and Mick. The property is immaculately presented, spotlessly clean and contains everything you need for a comfortable week away. We used it as a base and went off everyday to explore Devon and Cornwall. We had a great time, would definitely stay again, and would highly recommend Farthing’s Nest to everyone. Thank you Steph and Mick x

We loved our stay at the nest. We had the most relaxing time. The property had everything that we needed. It was beyond immaculate. Wonderful hosts who are friendly but not imposing or intrusive. A very quiet and tranquil place to just be. Wonderful fresh flowers were waiting for our arrival and a hamper of vegan goodies - very thoughtful and kind. What a gem of a place. I shall miss the wonderful views from the lounge and bedroom! Slept really well as the bed was so comfortable. Great wifi available and him indoors pleased with the nice tv and great channels available. Great, great place to stay and will be a hard act to follow. Would recommend to all family and friends and hope to return when the weather is warmer.

The Farthing's Nest was the perfect accommodation for our stay in Ilfracombe. The apartment was spacious, modern and had everything we needed...plus more. The rooms, especially the bedroom and bathroom, are large and are well equipped with modern decor. There are also amazing sea views from the property. On the kitchen table was a hamper containing a full cream tea - this was a welcome surprise upon arrival and was, of course, enjoyed the Devon way. The WiFi in the building is excellent and the TV even has SkyQ. The accommodation has it's own parking space. We walked into Ilfracombe every day to visit the harbour, shops, and restaurants. This was was a short (15 min) walk but does require going down, and back up, a steep hill. This didn't bother us and was in fact a good way to burn off the fish and chips! We are very pleased we booked this accommodation and would certainly return. We'd also be happy to recommend it without hesitation.

A warm welcome awaited us with a cream tea and magnificent bouquet of flowers provided by Steph. The accommodation was first class and very well appointed. My wife and I enjoyed just relaxing and enjoying the sea air. The main purpose was not sightseeing as the area was well know to us but to see our son and his partner who now work in the area. I would thoroughly recommend this apartment to any discerning couple who want peace and quite with luxury.

Fabulous apartment (annex of owners home) Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated with seaside theme without being over the top, very well equipped, fluffy bath towels, comfy bed and fantastic sea views. Fresh flowers and cream tea on arrival a lovely touch by our (discreet) hosts. An ideal place to stay to explore North Devon

Very welcoming; everything for a cream tea was provided! The accommodation is modern, clean, private, comfortable with sea views and parking. It had everything we needed for a relaxing week away. Ilfracombe is a great base for walking the coast path and visiting local beaches

Very impressed with spacious apartment wonderful sea views from garden . The apartment is maintained to a very high standard and very clean. The welcome basket and fresh flowers was a nice touch . Excellent coastal walks lots nice tea to explore. I’ve recommend the Smugglers Inn for dinner he food was lovely , would recommend the apartment to friends and and family , a big thank you to to all hoste for a wonderful holiday .

We loved it here most relaxing holiday in a loverly place with every thing you need.

Farthings Nest is set in a stunning location with views down onto Ilfracombe and out across the sea. It has everything you could possibly need for a really relaxed holiday and, most importantly, is spotlessly clean. The welcome hamper with cream tea was a lovely touch, as were the fresh flowers. It served as the perfect base for our holiday with easy access to towns and gorgeous beaches. Thank you to the owners Steph and Mick too for such a warm welcome and making sure we had everything was okay.
