    Quite a hill between the house and Ilfracombe Centre were a challenge but not a problem. No private parking but we were lucky to get 3 vehicles parked on the road outside.

    Communications with host were excellent. The house was ideal for our stay with good views over the sea and a sunny garden at the rear.

    Stayed with 3 friends. Good location. House was spacious. Clean and had everything we needed. Owners were excellent, great communication! We travelled to appledore, woolacombe and croyde. All easy to get to from ilfracombe. We ate at the lime kiln and the food was excellent. We also ate at a polish cafe in ilfracombe …. I can’t remember the name but the 3 cheese ciabatta and homemade coleslaw was amazing!!! Highly recommend….. I think it was called ‘j’s ‘ just up from costa on opposite side of road! We also had Sunday lunch at the beaver inn in appledore which was really great! Plus an amazing vanilla ice cream!!!! We’ve really had a great stay! The house was fabulous!

    Location amazing for dog walks, coastal path, only a short walk to the beach and town. Electric charging point at the leisure centre opposite was a bonus and easy to use. Well appointed kitchen and bathroom looked newly decorated and was very clean.

    We really enjoyed our stay at ocean terrace. The house was spotlessly clean with everything we needed . There is no dedicated parking but there is on street parking which we always managed to get a space outside the house. Also there is a large carpark opposite if needed. Our hosts were absolutely brilliant. Communication was excellent. Overall we really loved our stay, we would highly recommend.

    The house is very spacious and well equipped. Brilliant location, amazing views, and nice and cosy in the winter. So many beautiful walks on the doorstep. A 10ish min walk into town. Our son used the gym in the leisure centre across the road, and we loved the newly taken over Larkstone Cafe Bar, literally a 5 min walk from the house. We didnt eat there but the drinks were great!

    For a property of this size would have liked another shower but for our short stay, and just 5 of us, we coped perfectly well.

    Very cosy and homely. Had everything we needed. Great location, especially for walks with the dog.

    If you wanted to walk into town it was a little hilly (we had a pushchair), but there are plenty of public footpaths and benches to break up the journey. No fault of the property, just something to be aware of.

    Great location for both Ilfracombe and Woolacombe bay, good size rooms with comfortable furniture and lots of practical touches (coffee machine, cookware, variety of glasses, good sized fridge etc). Hosts were great at communicating and recommended plenty of activities, and were happy to answer questions ahead of our stay. Check in/ out was simple and always found parking easy.

    The sofas in the living room are worn out, not very comfortable and clean. The garden is a bit of a challenge, but still great that it's there. Parking in front of the house is problematic (availability), but car park opposite the property is actually a better and cheap option.

    Very helpful owner, quickly answered any questions. Great location. Very close to the coast path and to the port of the town. There is a car park opposite the property. The house is big, old but comfortable. Beautiful well equipped kitchen, lovely bedrooms, large dining table (although we missed 2 chairs), living room very functional. Really a very recommendable place.

    The decision not to include towels resulted in extra packing, extra laundry, and bringing wet items home on a long car journey, I think this should be reconsidered. Extractor fans in the kitchen and main bathroom would be useful.

    Perfectly situated in walking distance of Ilfracombe with lovely sea views. It was great to have a garden and that our dog was allowed to stay with us. It is also very useful to have a well equipped kitchen and facilities such as the smart TV, washer and dryer, and dishwasher which are often lacking in holiday properties.

    Had a fantastic 3 day stay at this lovely house. Felt at home as soon as we walked through the door, so warm and cosy. Amazing views across to the town and sea, 4 great sized comfortable bedrooms with plenty of storage for clothes, a large bathroom, separate toilet downstairs, dining room, kitchen with everything you could possibly need, and a really cosy lounge with 2 big comfy sofas and a large TV. Plenty of books and games. The enclosed garden was an added bonus, especially for the dogs, would love to visit again in the Summer to make more use of it. A short walk to the harbour and town through a footpath across the road, visited 3 pubs, favourite was The George & Dragon. Had a delivery from Maddy's Chippy one night which was lovely. Owners of the house were so helpful, letting us have lots of local information and information about the house, and on arrival found wine, chocolates and even a birthday card waiting! Would highly recommended this holiday home and hope to return in the future. Thanks for having us.
