  Comfortable, clean, modern and well appointed flat in the centre of Ilfracombe close to the harbour and shops.

  We enjoyed our week long stay in mid May and appreciated the generous welcome pack that our hosts provided. Very comfortable for a couple, cosy for 4 perhaps. Tips - Sleeping: if early morning light wakes you up, bring eye masks as the shutters let in a lot of light. The back bedroom is quieter than the front. Parking - we bought the seven day North Devon rover parking (£50 for the week online), which let us park in the Cove car park by the harbour, 3 mins walk away and covers you in Lynmouth and elsewhere (defo worth a visit with Watersmeet walk a must if you like walking). Balcony sun: to clarify previous reviews, mid May, we got sun in the morning until 9.15 and then for an hour in the evening just after 7. June and July the sun coverage should be longer I'd guess. Sitting there looking and listening to the sea is great in the sun, though a little too cool out of the sun in May. Things to do -great coastal driving with plenty of low gear driving and a few tight roads. Good local walks up the two hills and past Raparee cove if you fancy more of a challenge. And try the Ilfracombe ghost tour - a couple of hours of easy walking good fun, which may have you looking over your shoulder as the sounds of the past come back. 'Good morning' George :-)

  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!

  The apartment is very modern, and most of the facilities are excellent.

  It is well situated in Ilfracombe, being central with views over Capstone Hill. However, there were some matters that need attention, and our comments are as follows: 1. We could not get Alexa to work at all 2. The bottom oven is not working (the cleaning company did notify us about this but I suppose it should be repaired?) 3. In the double bedroom, one of the bedside table lights was not working, and it was not a broken bulb! 4. We were surprised that there was only one roll of toilet paper in each toilet, and that there was no washing up liquid supplied. In a property of this cost, this seems to be penny pinching? 5.The Nescafe Coffee machine had no instructions that we could find. There were some instructions for a completely different model, and they weren't in English anyway! 6. We were grateful for the Welcome Pack of a bottle of red wine, small bottle of milk and a pack of biscuits. 7. The directions to the apartment were good, but there were no instructions on how to enter the parking area. Finding out where the keypad was to the barrier caused us a delay as we searched for it!

  A superb property!

  Spotlessly clean with every attention to detail. Communication was excellent, the reminders etc. were very welcome and I took the suggested items like oven gloves, dishwasher tablets etc.but they were not needed as everything was provided at the property. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding and towels very clean. Everything was of a high quality and the fluffy white dressing gowns were much appreciated. The situation of the property was ideal for the sea, the theatre, shops etc. but unfortunately Ilfracombe had not really opened for the 2022 season and many shops and facilities were still closed. I would highly recommend this property for its spaciousness and high quality fixtures and fittings. Due to storm Eunice and the expected disruption, we left the property early but the owner contacted me to say that we did not need to hurry off as their visit had been postponed until after the storm. Communication with the cleaning company was excellent and as soon as we arrived we were sent the car park barrier code and the necessary codes to enter the property. An excellent property.

  We had a lovely stay.

  There were just a few mostly minor things that could make the property more luxe to match its price tag. There was an issue getting into the property on time which the owner has apologised for and since rectified I believe. I felt the welcome gift was a little underwhelming; just a pint of milk and a pack of digestives. I saw in previous reviews people had mentioned a bottle of wine. There were no bath mats which I think is just a basic, rather than luxury item, so we had to use towels to save dripping over the floors. In previous reviews people had mentioned fluffy robes but we didn’t have these. There were no dishwasher tablets. Normally properties provide two or three at least to get you started. The en-suite shower had quite a lot of mould on the grout which could be shifted with some mould spray. The plug in the en-suite sink didn’t compress. It’s a lovely, comfortable apartment, very spacious and with stunning views. No noise from neighbours. Great location for walking to harbour and for exploring local area. Beds were very comfortable. It was a fantastic holiday.
