  Beautifully maintained apartment, gorgeous high ceilings from a bygone era, furniture was very comfortable, especially the bed.

  So important to have a comfortable bed when away from home. Lovely bathroom too, very spacious and clean. Good quality kitchen tools and equipment, the only thing I'd say was missing was a 'normal' frying pan rather than the wok styled pan. (We actually bring our own as we often find frying pans are not fit for use). A liner for the grill pan would have been appreciated, as it happens, we bring our own foil to do this with but some cottage owners do put a liner in the base of the grill pan. It was a real home from home as we spent all day Monday in the apartment as it was The Queen's funeral so a real test of homeliness. We also had to buy food to cook as there was nowhere open on Monday evening (due to Queen's funeral) so the grill and hob really did a great job. One extra dishwashing tablet would have been handy. The only thing we found 'odd' was the coat hook in the hallway - it must've been put up by a very tall man as my 6ft 2 hubby struggled to reach it and at 5ft 1 I had no chance! We liked the balcony too but didn't use it much. We rarely ever revisit the same place but if we were to revisit Ilfracombe we'd happily look to rent this apartment again. It feels spacious, homely and is very clean. Big tick!

  On approach to the property we were impressed by the curb appeal compared to its neighbours.

  Accessing the carpark was a little challenging but the space was adequate for our small car. Entering the building we were impressed by the quality of decor and furnishings and this continued as we entered the apartment, all appliances and soft furnishings were of good quality and in almost new condition. The rooms were all very spacious and there was ample storage. The extra small touches of wine, water and soft drinks, tea, coffee etc. and fresh flowers were a lovely added suprise. When settling in on our first evening we were disappointed by the level of noise. The single glazed windows meant that conversations could easily be heard from passing pedestrians and the almost continuous road noise was only made less prominent by the noise of Royal Mail vehicles reversing up the steep hill alongside the building any time from 7.30am! Such a shame as if the property had secondary glazing fitted our review would be 5 star.

  The apartment is a recent conversion on the second floor of the Grade II listed building, situated a few minutes walk from both Landmark theatre, the Tunnels beaches and other Ilfracombe favourites.

  The apartment was modern. spacious, comprehensively equipped and, despite being booked at very short notice, immaculately clean with a welcome pack provided. It's about 10min level walk to the Harbour but a climb uphill up to the main shopping streets. Overall a very pleasant stay in a lovely apartment. A few things to note: the building is on the main road to the Harbour and can be noisy. The entrance to the car park is off Fortescue Road, which is between the Belgrave building and the Devon Beach next door. The car park entrance is then first left up a narrow lane at the rear of the Belgrave building. The first few steps from the car park are quite narrow. The key safes are behind you as you face the entrance door. A front door key would have been useful but not essential. The information folder for the flat was good but a couple of things needed updating and guidance on recycling would be useful.

  Penryn is a gorgeous apartment split over the upper two levels of a townhouse.

  The owner lives underneath with the accommodation having its own entrance on the first floor. The owner is non-intrusive but also helpful and friendly. The 3 bedrooms, living area, kitchen and 2 bathrooms provided plenty of space for our family of 5. WiFi for the kids too! The apartment was exceptionally clean. The kitchen was very well equipped, even including condiments, cleaning materials etc. A washing machine was also handy for a particularly muddy day at an adventure park. We only had to buy food - Lidl is just down the road. Boardgames and plenty of linen was also much appreciated. The location of the apartment is excellent, 5 mins walk from tunnels beaches & 10/15 mins from the beautiful harbour. The Indian restaurant at the end of the road was also very nice. All in all a lovely apartment!

  The accommodation was spacious, occupying the top two floors of a Victorian terrace close to the coast.

  The kitchen with large dining table seemed to have been recently fitted out and met all our needs. The communication with the owner and introductory tour of the property was excellent and the owner was very helpful. The entrance is shared with the owner who lives on the ground and lower ground floors, but the apartment has a lockable front door within the building. Parking can be difficult as the road is very central without any parking restrictions. However, we always found parking either in the road where the property is situated or in nearby roads suggested by the owner. We visited outside of school holidays in the 3rd week of September.
