    The location was perfect- quiet and within easy walking distance of several nice places to eat (The Thatched Inn, The Lime Kiln cafe (booking advised) Parking was adjacent to the property. Milk, two scones and clotted cream were waiting our arrival - a lovely surprise! The property was clean and the sea view from the 'arch' window is beautiful.

    well house is a charming little property that has everything that you need for a few days away. the home is comfortable, and the owners supply not only towels and linen, etc, but also extras in the kitchen as a welcome. we took the dog and it was safe as the small garden has a locked gate so she was safe, and the property is within walking distance of Ilfracombe town where there are lots of dog friendly places to visit. we didn't meet the owners as they message with a key code for entry, but they keep in touch by message if there are any issue or you need anything. it's a lovely place and I would recommend it to any couple wanting to stay in Ilfracombe thank you for a lovely few days😊

    It was quite warm for the few days we were there, which may just be us, but we wanted to flag it. Having the underfloor heating come on at the end of May is an indulgence that probably isn’t necessary. We spent much of the trip with the door and skylights open! Save yourselves some money and save the planet by adjusting the heating timer!

    Great location and lovely ‘home away from home’. Everything you needed for a staycation - either when eating out and just needing a place to lay your head, or somewhere to cook and eat in. We would definitely recommend.

    There wasn't anything we didn't like!

    Check in/ out couldn't have been easier. Key box next to the door and a message a few days before our arrival with the code. The property exceeded our expectations and was perfect for us and secure for the dog. The location is amazing and the views are outstanding - be sure to follow the steps, just outside the gate on the right - head up and see a further seating area! We will 100% be coming back!

    The Well House is a fabulous little place that contains everything you need for a weekend stay. The under floor heating kept it at a cosy temperature. The bed was comfy, the shower great and we especially liked the boiling water tap. Great location.

    Loved every thing about my stay at The Well House. Comfortable, quiet and clean. A quirky little property with stylish decor, a little courtyard with a stream with goldfish! Plus parking right next to property. Plus a treat left for my dog and for me on arrival. A great touch. Thank you

    Everything about the property was great, but be mindful the road outside can be slippery on foot when wet.

    I recently stayed at the Well House it exceeded my expectations. The place was impeccably clean, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment. Situated in a charming location, it offered convenience without sacrificing tranquility. Overall, it was a delightful experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant stay.

    Beautiful little hideaway within walking distance of Ilfracombe. It is cosy, warming & quirky. Love the little garden with the water, fish & frogs. Lovely to hear the owl as well. The accomodation has everything you need, it's very warm, cosy, clean and comfortable. The hot cross buns, milk, tea & coffee were a lovely touch. We had a lovely few days. It's within walking distance of restaurants, shops and the coastal path. The little estate itself is pretty & great to be able to park right next to the house. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

    It was difficult to warm the house up the first night - one of the coldest nights of the year - we couldn't work out the heating. The second night it was lovely and warm as we kept the burner going for longer. It could do with a warning sticker on the hot sink tap as I burnt my finger when we first arrived, not realising it was a boiling water tap - I read it in the manual afterwards.

    Great location, lovely clean house which is well looked after. The little garden with waterfall would be lovely to sit in when it's warmer. Well equipped (lovely thick towels) and great location for walking to the harbour and town. 5 min walk to good traditional pub. Friendly host and helpful.
