The house was very clean and comfortable and the kitchen was so well equipped. The bedrooms were light and airy, lovely bathroom with a good shower and the decor throughout was to a high standard. It was in a good position to walk into Ilfracombe and close to a Lidl which was very handy. Parking in the same street was difficult but we always found somewhere in a road nearby. We spent most of our week walking along the coastal paths visiting lovely villages along the way. Thank you for the very generous welcome pack including dog treats and toy. We would highly recommend staying here.

A sanctuary for the middle of day from the heat and people, and an excuse to watch the olympics! Lovely welcome tray with treats for humans and dog
