The property is so clean and so well thought out with lots of little touches to feel like a home from home. The flat is very spacious and beautifully furnished. The location is very convenient, right in the centre with some lovely little cafes nearby. Sheila the host is very attentive and ensured we could check in early to get ready for a wedding at Tunnels Beaches. Whilst Ilfracombe itself is a little rundown, there are some wonderful places to visit nearby. I’d recommend: •Coastal walk to beautiful little village called Lee •Coastal walk to Hele Bay •Watersmouth Area and Broadsands Beach •Tunnels Beaches •Boat tour to smugglers Caves Places to eat: •The Lime Kiln •Thatched Inn •Smugglers •Antidote

Pillows were a little uncomfortable but that’s personal preference. The bath/shower was also leaking so the floor got really wet.

Excellent location. Very clean and great sized apartment. Very helpful owners.

N/A

The apartment is very clean (practically spotless), airy and fresh-smelling. You are invited to remove your shoes on the landing, which we did happily. There is a twin room, the bathroom and the spacious well-equipped kitchen off the landing. Then there is a short corridor leading to a generous King room. The beds in the twin and King rooms are extremely comfortable. Opposite the kitchen is the comfortable lounge/dining area with many nice touches. There is a sofa bed in there but we didn't test that. The location, being just 5 minutes' walk from the harbour, was perfect, and not noticeably noisy, even though there are several windows in the property, and we had them all partially open for the free flow of air. Wildersmouth beach, the Tourist Office, Ilfracombe Museum and the Tunnels beaches are within easy walking distance. So is Fore Street, with "Ilfracombe's oldest pub" (the George and Dragon) and "Seventy One Bistro", a great find for dinner which gets booked up quickly. The Wetherspoon is also nearby, and has an airy feel, a nice view, and is friendly. S&P Fish Shop on the harbour front - recognisable by its big orange umbrella - is a nice spot for a seafood platter and/or fresh fish, but only open 10-2.30 for table bookings, and not every day. There are no handy little shops for bottles of water/milk etc nearby. Probably best to take those basics with you if you are driving. There is a poorly stocked Premier store about 10 minutes walk away in the High Street (an uphill continuation of Fore Street) and a good Co-op 5-10 minutes further on. You can divert that way if returning from the Tunnels beaches. Bus stops are close by for local buses, and services east to Minehead and west to Barnstaple (and on to Bideford and Westward Ho!) Nearby Watermouth Castle, under new management, is still worth a visit for families. We happened to meet the owners on departure day and they're nice people.

The impossibility of a longer stay because of obligations! It should be re-iterated that if you have mobility problems or a lot of luggage, the stairs might be problematic.

Great location, spotlessly clean and great facilities. Very helpful host.

Nothing, all good.

Smart property, great location.

Dirty common parts of the building. 0

It was very spacious and modern.

1. It was on the third floor which I was not aware of at the time of making the booking and I had my 76 year old Mother with me. 2. I was under the impression free parking came with the property but only found out last minute from the owner that we had to park and pay in a busy pay and display car park 3. It was very difficult to open /close the windows at the front of the property

Easy to be access from Sheila’s excellent instructions, on the third floor fine for views and above other folk. Modern inside in very good order everything worked as it should.

Apartment 2 below up for sale, neighbours a little noisy but subsided later on probably a one off but noticeable. Central location on the harbour superb for access but on the route for all folk coming back very late at night. To be expected but hard to close noise off for kids as very warm weather and therefore windows needing to be open. Just a case of peak season and us liking to retire before midnight.
