    Very minor, but the wood for the wood burner was a bit too big, making it difficult to use without hot embers falling out of the fire.

    Lovely location, tastefully decorated and dog friendly.

    Just the steps down to the property. Best to take a torch.

    The Glasshouse was very attractive, very clean and comfortable. I had 2 great nights' sleep. The host had left milk, butter, buns and dog treats, which was a lovely gesture. I will definitely be going back. Highly recommended.

    There is nothing to fault the property. There is a little bit of noise from the main road, but with a little bit of background music playing you don't notice it.

    Lovely and clean. Scones, jam, cream and pint of milk was a lovely touch.

    I wouldn't describe the following as "didn't like", there was nothing we didn't like. More of a, "it would be nice if"..... The shower room was a wee bit chilly and had no heater/radiator in there. The path leading to the property has a few wonky steps/gravel and is pitch black at night. I am the most clumsy human to ever walk this earth. A couple of lights along the path would be reassuring.

    We stayed at The Glasshouse in March, I'm a bit late writing a review! Delightful place to stay. Beautifully decorated and extremely clean. The weather was pretty chilly, so it was nice coming back to a cosy and comfortable little cottage. Made even more snug with a log burner. Lovely big windows in the living room. I do like a big window :) Would happily stay at this gorgeous little hideaway again.

    the parking was not right next to the property so arriving late at night meant that I had to carry bags down a small unlit path - this could have been highlighted better by the owners in the description but was not a dealbreaker

    I liked the decor and furnishings, the location of the property, the privacy and the cleanliness. Lovely touches by the owners such as scones and jam. And check in was very good!

    The first night we stayed the underfloor heating was left on in the bedroom even though it was a warm weekend in June. Thought it would turn itself off, maybe on a timer later on. Still on when we returned from an evening out and the instructions at the cottage requested to call the host to turn it off. As it was quiet late we thought probably best not to. Found it to hot to sleep so had to open the windows. As the property is near to the pub we had a lot of people walking past at closing time which was quiet noisy and kept us awake. Therefore first night sleep not very restful. We did call the host the next day so we were able to turn it off for our second night stay, so slept much better.

    Good location as only a stroll away from the harbour. Great dog walks on the door step also. Although the cottage is situated just off a main road, you really didn’t hear the traffic once inside. Had everything you need at the property, loved the personal touch of a cream tea and milk left for us. Comfortable with plenty of light, great view from the living room window, clean, modern and spacious.

    Not an issue for us personally but worth noting the road that this property is set back from can be a little noisy with passing traffic and people as it is one of the main routes into Ilfracombe.

    Good location for exploring Ilfracombe. Very clean and tidy with modern appliances. Lovely outdoor seating area. Plenty of information left for guests. Tea, coffee, milk and scones were a lovely gesture too. We enjoyed spotting the two foxes that often around here too!

    As soon as we arrived and saw the Glasshouse, we knew we’d done the right thing to book it. It looks like it’s newly designed with everything you need for a cosy stay, including a wood burner. It was immaculately cleaned, lovely big windows that let a lot of light in, and a great little area for relaxing and watching TV if that’s what you want to do. The kitchen area had all the equipment we needed. The location is perfect as it’s only a short walk down to the harbour. There are some great walks nearby too, with impressive views. It’s surrounded by a little garden area with outdoor seating, and we really loved taking in the views. We would 100% stay here again. We had a great time.

    We found woodlouse throughout the property over the weekend, every time we removed them we would find more a couple hours later.

    The decor of the glasshouse is lovely - bright, colourful and modern. The bed was super comfy and loved having a skylight above. The glasshouse looks newly furnished and everything is of a high quality. The hosts kindly left us scones, jam and cream which was a nice treat!

    The grounds could do with a little more TLC, a little over grown and did eventually position the outdoor furniture level and with a view .

    The accommodation was very unique , fitted out to a good standard with everything you expect and a very tranquil location.

    It’s by a main road which we didn’t find a major issue but Worth having ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.

    Great property with lovely interior. Had everything we needed for a long weekend. Great views and so easy to get to the harbour and to explore the south west coast path. There is a lovely viewpoint only 15 minute walk away to watch the amazing sunsets. Shower was hot and powerful and good amount of kitchenware for breakfast and dinner. Lots of space. Lovely garden too. Felt very private. Will definitely recommend to friends.
